I want more Christian and faith-based like you to take the risk of knowing your full power because risks will expose you to yourself—your strengths and weaknesses, threats, and opportunities. It gives you a chance to grow. Learning the root of your fears, the incidents that trigger them, and how to master fear are critical to living in your true purpose. Investing in yourself is prioritizing and understanding that you are essential and need to invest time, energy, and monies to ensure that you are always actualizing the best version of yourself. Being successful is great but not enough. Here's what you will find inside the book: ✔ Why you have struggled to uncover your purpose in the past… no, it is not your fault that pursuing purpose was not on the top of your “shopping” list. ✔ Why it is essential to make the pursuit of purpose your #1 priority even though you now think of your purpose as a hobby or ‘side’ hustle and not something that could bring you success. ✔ Strategies to experience great success right now, no matter your current profession or what’s happening in the world. ✔ How to begin making an impact and experience peace, fulfillment, and joy doing what you love. ✔ The essential ingredients you need if you are serious about building success around your Divine purpose, including breaking free from indoctrinations and shattering the Mentally Constructed Glass Ceiling ™, etc. ✔ A step-by-step plan to bring you from where you are now, feeling stuck or misguided, to position you to live more intentionally and create success around your Divine purpose and calling. ✔ An eye-opening account of how women (predominantly Christian women) have been indoctrinated to accept false beliefs about who they are and what they are called to do. ✔ Why living in your Divine purpose as a Christian woman does not make you “ungodly.” In fact, it is a revolutionary process that makes you better for every role that you play (wife, mother, etc.) because you are living true to yourself and to who God created you to be.
