Have you ever felt this pull inside that there's something more for you to be and contribute in this life? Have you ever wondered what your thing is that makes you special and different?
Yeah, that was me until I went through my rock bottom when I discovered my husband's addiction and infidelity.
At that point, I had two choices - I could let it destroy me, or I could level up. That choice began my road to healing, purpose, redemption and growing in to the woman that Jesus made me to be. I'm going to share everything that I've learned along this journey and help YOU do the same thing. Are you ready for the journey? Let's go, it's time to Level Up!
