Have you ever felt like when you told someone about something you were doing it all went down south? They criticized or had nothing positive to say? Being a country girl, when someone spoke negatively about you, a project, or something positive you were doing, we would say, "So and so put their mouth on it."

Whether you're starting a new business, embarking on a personal journey of self-improvement, or simply striving to be the best version of yourself, there are many benefits to keeping your plans and progress to...
As Christian women, we often find ourselves struggling to feel like we matter. In a world that often measures our value based on external factors like beauty, success, and popularity, it's easy to lose sight of our true worth and purpose.
