Have you ever had that quiet moment…where everything in your life looks right but, something inside you feels off?
Like…“Is this really it?” I’ve been there sis.

My life looked like success; I was the woman people looked at and said: “She made it.” Certified business strategist. $5M joint venture contract. $20K private coaching clients. Guest speaks with city officials. Featured by 8 Figure Moguls Christina Rowe, Carrie Green, book deals and more television appearances than fingers.
I knew how to help female entrepreneurs turn paint points into positive profitable biz opportunities. And I was good at it. But here’s what nobody saw.
—
Behind the scenes, I was navigating real life, love and biz struggles. I was creating consistent money-making viral posts and at the same time dealing with grief from losing my father to cancer. Building and rebuilding businesses. Financial increase and financial loss. Sexual Assault. Domestic violence stalking. And through it all, I continued to love God. But I didn’t always know how to walk with Jesus through it.
—
The Holy Spirit call in 2019 that changed everything didn’t shout at me initially. He gently pulled me. But I ignored Him for years; until he finally yelled in 2023 “Let it all go and Come sit with Me.”
And what I realized was this: I didn’t need more strategy. I needed intimacy in my relationship with God. Because loving Him, walking with Him daily and building a biz with Him (not for Him) are very different things.
—
In the middle of everything, God gave me a simple and powerful way to meet with Him daily. Not just to read the Bible, but to honestly walk through my struggles with Him as my Abba “Father”.
That became my **Girls Trip to Peace™ 5-Step Bible Study Method**.
This is the exact method I used to navigate:
– Grieving my father while coaching
– Making hard business decisions
– Handling financial ups and downs
– Processing relationship challenges
– Letting go of control and trusting God
And it’s the same method I now teach women inside my community.

## The Girls Trip to Peace™ 5-Step Bible Study Method
**1. Prayer – Submit and Surrender to Success**
Start by talking to God honestly. Not polished. Not perfect. Just real. This is where you share your desires, release control of struggles and invite the Trinity (God, Jesus, Holy Spirit) in.
**2. Engage – Start God-Guided Chats**
Open your Bible and actually study, not skim. Ask: What is God saying? What is He showing me? And how to practice gratitude past the obvious; thanks for my biz, house, car etc.
**3. Act Christlike – Walk His Way**
Learn how to have faith and trust through struggles. Being Fearlessly Obedient is where transformation and Fruit of the Spirit happens.
**4. Connect – Become a Disciple of Christ**
You’re not meant to walk this alone. Community, accountability, and serving others matter. Learn how to use your spiritual gifts and calling.
**5. Embrace – Celebrate and Share**
Reflect on what God did. Celebrate progress and share your testimony while you wait for answered prayers.
—
This isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about becoming consistent. Because most Christian women don’t struggle with loving God. They struggle with knowing how to walk with Him daily, especially when life gets heavy.
This method gives you an easy way to:
– Process real-life, love, biz struggles with God
– Hear Him clearly
– Stay grounded in His Word
– And live in God’s peace and not just talk about it

Today, as a Bible Bestie through the Girls Trip to Peace™ members club, I help Christian women:
– Bible study through life, love, and biz struggles
– Journal with God daily
– Build consistency in their quiet time
– Experience God’s peace in a real and practical way
Because the truth is simple. You don’t need another strategy when you’re overwhelmed. You need time with God and accountability from real sistas-n-Christ that actually works in real life.
—
If you’ve been overthinking everything, feeling spiritually inconsistent, or trying to carry life on your own, that’s not failure. That’s a signal. God is inviting you closer to Him. To. Community. To Accountability. To relationship.

Inside my Free community, I created something to help you start simply right now sis.
The **Holy Hideout Starter Kit**.
It will help you walk out Matt 6:6 “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
– Create your own secret prayer space
– Start journaling with God
– Build consistency in your quiet time
– Use the 5-step method in your everyday life
Because everything changed for me when I stopped trying to do everything for God and started walking with Him daily.
