Sometimes, life hits us with challenges we never saw coming. Just when we think things are getting easier, another obstacle can show up, making us feel like we’re taking two steps back. It’s in these moments that we have a choice: we can let life’s challenges keep us down, or we can stand up and keep fighting.But let’s be real it’s not always easy. Moving forward can be tough, and there are days when it feels like all we do is fight to keep going. And that’s okay. It’s okay to acknowledge the struggle, to feel the weight of what you’re carrying, but remember that every step forward, no matter how small, counts.The truth is, life will always throw something at us. The good news is that with every challenge, we become stronger and learn more about who we are and what we’re capable of.

Think of every setback as a test that’s preparing you for something greater.So, when life happens and it always will try to focus on how you respond. Take a deep breath, keep moving, and know that you’re not alone. It’s in these moments that we find our inner strength and grow into the people we’re meant to be.

Remember, as P.U.S.H. with Janay says: “Pray Until Something Happens.” Keep pushing, keep believing, and keep fighting. You deserve to see what’s waiting for you on the other side of this journey.Sometimes, life hits us with challenges we never saw coming.

From Darkness to Light: Relearning Life After Trauma

The last few years have been some of the most challenging of my life. I’ve endured life-changing trauma, the kind that reshapes who you are in ways you never expected. Loss, grief, drastic life changes it all hit me in waves, and before I knew it, I was drowning. I lost people I considered family, some to death, some to life’s changing seasons. I went through major surgeries that forced me to slow down. I watched my parents’ health decline right before my eyes. My career shifted, my income changed, and then, the moment that altered everything I found my father deceased. Just days later, my mother was admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke. Suddenly, I was planning a funeral while still trying to catch my breath. Trauma like that doesn’t just affect you emotionally, it manifests in ways you don’t even notice at first. My social skills started shifting I became more withdrawn, more hesitant, less myself. My appearance changed. I stopped caring as much. Grief, stress, and survi...

From Hard Hits to Healing: My Seven-Year Journey of Growth, Faith, and Renewal

Life has a way of throwing punches when you least expect it. For the last seven years, it felt like life wouldn’t stop swinging at me. I experienced grief, heartbreak, depression, the weight of caring for sick and dying parents, and the heavy responsibility of being a mother of four all while trying to keep my faith strong. I was the only girl in my family, so funerals, caregiving, comforting others it all fell on me. And to be honest, it got heavy. The Day Everything Changed In May of this year, my Facebook page was hacked and suspended for 180 days. Now, that might not sound like much to some people, but Facebook was a big part of my life. I had thousands of memories, a growing following, monetization, and a national group of over 500 women, my Push Sisters who connected through this platform. Losing it felt like losing a piece of myself. But here’s what I now realize: it was divine interruption. It was a fast I didn’t sign up for but desperately needed. That pause forced me to step ...

Life Without Therapy Is Ghetto: My Mental Health Journey

Therapy. Whew. Let me just start by saying this life without therapy is ghetto. I’ve lived life with therapy on and off for years, and I can confidently say that having therapy in my life made me better. Stronger. More balanced. And living without it? Yeah, that’s not it. I’m sharing my journey today because mental health is just as important as physical health, especially in our culture. For too long, we’ve been taught to “pray about it” or “just be strong.” But I’ve learned that strength also means knowing when you need help. My Introduction to Therapy: Postpartum Depression I’ve always been a naturally happy, positive person. The one who walks into a room and lights it up. The “Dear Abby” for family and friends when they need advice, encouragement, or just a listening ear. So, when I started to feel like I was struggling to stay happy, I knew something wasn’t right. It took me nine months after giving birth to my youngest daughter who’s now 12 to realize I was dealing with postpart...
