Sis, I know the world can feel heavy—like you’re carrying everyone else’s burdens and barely holding onto your own. But let me remind you: hope isn’t just wishful thinking. Hope is a weapon. It’s the tool you use to fight back when life tries to wear you down and convince you to quit.

Scripture says,
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” — Isaiah 40:31

Hope isn’t soft or naïve. It’s powerful. It’s what helps you take one more step, even when you’re tired. It’s what keeps you reaching for more, even when the world tells you to settle. Even if all you have is a mustard seed of hope, that’s enough. Baby steps are still steps. You are allowed to make yourself a priority. You deserve rest, joy, and peace.

So today, pick up your hope. Let it shield you from doubt and push you forward. You are not alone, and you are so worthy of everything good that’s coming.

Stay Anchored,
Dr. E

And your softness is where your healing lives. I ...

You Are Not Your Performance: Reclaiming Your Worth

Hey family, Can I ask you something real quick? When was the last time you felt like you were enough, just as you are? Not because you hit a goal. Not because someone praised you. Not because you finally got it all together. But just because you exist? If you're struggling to answer that, you're not alone. I talk to so many people who are exhausted from trying to earn their worth. They're wo...
