A NOTE FROM BRITTNEY

i thought i was too broken to fix, forever stuck in a hopeless state.

i was unable to gain any traction. then God showed me that nothing is too broken to mend, and there is beauty in rebuilding. new beginnings are acts of his grace where we can acknowledge our past, accept our present, and be hopeful for our future—embracing all that we've learned and how far we have come.

i have always wanted to live an extraordinary life, but i never knew how to make that dream come to fruition. there were long periods when my life felt mediocre, at best. i didn't know who i was or who i wanted to be. it frustrated me that i was too much, and yet still never enough.

a few years after graduating from the university of florida (go gators) with a degree in education, i quit my job and moved abroad within a month. i wasn't sure what i was expecting, but i knew something was missing. those years proved to be challenging and yet unbelievably life-changing in the best kind of way. i am thankful for that chapter of my life as it showed me my desperate need for God and taught me the importance of community.

heartache, suffering, and pain overwhelmed the years to follow. i suffered from anxiety and severe depression. i became increasingly overwhelmed with how people viewed me and whether my life had meaning. i battled to trust the promises of God and believe i was worthy of peace, joy, and fulfillment. always surrounded by others, i still struggled to find people i could relate to, people who could identify with my struggles. but through the twists and turns and ups and downs, God remained faithful. i began to see the significance of rest—body, mind, and spirit. i realized the importance of self-care.

i got comfortable with my discomfort and learned to navigate through the darkness, embracing the journey and allowing life to unfold on its own. i started paying attention to the little moments and celebrating the small victories. i had to acknowledge i was human, and that progression wasn't always going to look or feel how i expected it to.

i've since learned practical and straightforward ways to cope with life's challenges. i've become more aware of how our body, mind, and spirit are all interconnected and how they all affect one another. now, i want to use my past, my pain, and my experiences to uplift and empower others.

God has given me a story to share—one of healing, restoration, and hope. there is power in telling our stories when we’re ready because they deserve to be heard. my intention is to encourage women on their journey by sharing my own. i want to inspire you to become the best version of yourself and learn to live fully and completely, regardless of the season you're in.

God has been inviting us all deeper into our purpose, his abundance, and his ultimate plan for our lives, and that in and of itself, is extraordinary.

so thanks for stopping by, let's talk.
