Hello, my Settle Free sisters and brothers,
I’m excited to share something that’s been on my heart. This space is rooted in the Settle Free mindset choosing growth, freedom, and alignment over comfort and limitation. And if you’re tired of watching people tap dancing online, hooting and hollering with a bunch of noise, buffoonery, and no real substance or purpose, then you’re in the right place.
This blog is about shifting perspectives, breaking limiting beliefs, and building the mindset that leads to the life you truly want and deserve. Here, we’re learning how to stop settling, start elevating, and walk fully in purpose because Settle Free isn’t just a phrase, it’s a lifestyle.
I didn’t create the life I’m living by accident.
I built it with faith, trust, patience, and a refusal to settle, not just for less in life, but for less in mindset.
I refused to live in defeat.
I refused to play the victim.
I refused to blame everyone else for what I had the power to heal, grow through, and transform.
I chose faith when it was easier to fold, chose love when I was hurt, chose prayer when I was tired, chose forgiveness when resentment felt justified, chose to keep going when storms tried to break me and chose distance when it was necessary for healing.
You see, healing doesn’t always look like reconciliation.
Sometimes it looks like release. Stop tolerating toxic relationships, and friendships
Unhealed people will try to continue to bring up your past. You have to know who you are today, not dwell on who you used to be. That’s what helped me through a lot.

I spoke things into existence, and God heard me.
But more than that, He watched how I responded in the hardest seasons of my life.
And I’ve been through some things. Real things.
Still, He carried me through every single one of them.
This life I’m living, including the beautiful red Mercedes I drive, didn’t come from manifestation alone, it came from real prayers.
Real conversations with God.
Real trust in the process.
Years of believing. Years of becoming. Years of growth.
A few months after losing my mom, I was blessed with the car I had dreamed about for years, earlier than I expected, right around Thanksgiving and I knew in my spirit: this wasn’t just a car, it was confirmation.
It was alignment. It was favor.
I share this to say:
Let go of resentment.
Release unforgiveness.
Stop carrying bitterness.
Love anyway.
Pray anyway.
Trust anyway.
Walk anyway.
Believe anyway.
Even when it feels uncertain.
Even when it feels scary.
Even when it doesn’t make sense yet.

God is not overrated.
I’m blessed because of Him.
And I’m not done. ( Neither are you!)
I’m still growing.
Still becoming.
Still building.
Still healing.
Still trusting.
Still walking forward.
But I’m grateful.
And I’m free.
