“Let Her sleep, for when She wakes, She will Move Mountains"

dear diary, learn why I quit my job and view my personal iPad notes from attending the Rise-Up Womanpreneur Conference.

These women, and so many others, were living proof of what happens when dedication meets divine purpose. A speech by Meghan Carew, the supervisor of a Women's Emergency Shelter and the visionary behind Grace's Door, left an indelible mark. Meghan’s initiative and her unwavering commitment to supporting women in dire circumstances stirred something deep within me.

With my own passion for healing the hearts of domestic violence victims, her words resonated with a profound intensity.

It was a powerful reminder of the impact one person, guided by purpose, can have on the lives of others. The sheer grit and compassion woven into the fabric of Grace's Door sparked a lil fire in my soul, pushing me to reflect on how I can better align my gifts with service to those who need it most.

All the mental gold I soaked up that day — the inspiring conversations, the powerful testimonies, the undeniable spirit of resilience – really weighed heavy on my soul.

So girl, I woke up that next morning in tears, and resigned from my new position at Crate & Barrel.
