Six years ago, I returned home to Nashville with a broader mindset, a deeper understanding of people, and a stronger desire to grow into the woman God called me to be. What I began to notice is that in some families, communities, and cultures, personal growth can be misunderstood. When a person begins to heal, evolve, think differently, set boundaries, and choose wholeness, that growth can sometimes be seen as a threat by those who are comfortable with dysfunction.

For a long time, I wondered why my mother did not love me the way I needed her to.

“You were never meant to question your value. You were meant to understand it.”
