Breaking Free from Fear: Empowering Creative Women Through Media

Never despise small beginnings.?I started with the idea of helping women veterans get out of their shells.??Because the truth was, when I medically retired from the Army, I was in a sheltered space, mentally experiencing terrible symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), PST, and physical disablements.?Until one day, I cried out to the Lord in prayer with everything I had in me, "GOD, I KNOW THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE FOR MY LIFE!?How can I be a Realtor if I never go outside??I won't be able to sell houses or introduce others to you if I'm indoors!?I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW - LIKE NEVER BEFORE!

I'll never forget that moment because it was the prayer I prayed for three days after a Thursday afternoon when I forced myself to drive around my neighborhood in a storm, crying, hoping passersby in vehicles wouldn't notice my tears with the rain pouring on my truck.?From 12 noon until 6 pm, I wandered the streets burning gas in my Highlander.?Thank goodness it was a hybrid.?Lol!?I didn't want to be in the house alone. I returned home after my husband arrived from work.??He didn't know how to comfort me and could only ask "if I would be all right."?I said "yes" even though I still felt depressed and dreary.?No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't explain or express my feelings to him during that moment.?That feeling lingered until the following Sunday when I went to the altar during worship service and surrendered my will to God.?Honestly, it was the best thing I could have ever done (next to giving my life to Christ when I was 13 yrs old).??

I was under the impression that I could handle the stress of fitting into a world I'd never known as an adult.?A world I came from as an artist, a military spouse, and a recruiter who organized communities.??The transition wasn't easy because I was angry, upset, broken, and injured.?At least, that was the story that kept playing in my head.?Why was my life going on a downward spiral??It felt like I was on a hamster wheel, and nothing I did moved the needle until I was tired of being tired.?I feared "me" and what I would do to myself, my strength, and the vision of success that felt like an out-of-reach dream.??

That day I heard the Holy Spirit tell me, "I'm not only a soldier in man's Army, but God's Army!?So, don't let it dictate my future, hold me hostage, and cause me to be unable to move forward."?After praising Him for relieving anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, I sat up, dried my eyes, and stood firm, knowing my purpose.?I learned many things that day, yielding at the altar, which continues to remind me of the birth and growth of SHE VET, Inc. Media Consulting.??

It reminds me not to give up on what's inside me, why I've been given this ministry and mission, and whom I'm called to lead.?"Creative women who are hiding thier gifts because they're afraid of their Greatness!?They're scared of what others will think, hiding from their God-given identity and fearing unacceptance from society."??I know what it looks like and feels like!??Heck, I even bought the T-shirt and wore it proudly!?And today, I'm no longer that woman!??
