This is one of the realest and most relatable post I've read this year. Honestly, I could see myself in your words because this has been my journey too. I also left my corporate job back in 2022 and the journey since then has been one of ups and downs. Thank you so much for sharing this and for your vulnerability. I think this is one of those posts I will keep coming back to and definitely read more than once.

You have been missed. Thank you for sharing your journey to a NYT bestseller. “Divine resistance”…you put language to an experience I’ve been having similarly as well. Thank you for your vulnerability with this.

vulnerability hangoverrrrr.

but it's the truth!

divine resistance literally feels like my hands are being tied.

I echo the statements that you are giving us a language we didn't quite have in the natural. The idea of answering the call to create a new way resonates with my own walk. Point #2 stood out the most to me concerning my own personal journey: We have to become the people who can handle what we ask for!!! I know that's where I need to give myself grace. Grace to become that leader in my life vocation. I look forward to the day that I go to the store to do my part to make your future book a NYT bestseller because I know your walk is real!!!

Maya, this was so therapeutic! LOL! I too have experienced this 'self-sabotage' and 'near success syndrome', and like you said, it's the going through the practice, or process that we gain what the Father is teaching us. We are right on time and on the right track, so continue in the process because MILLIONS are going to be helped as a result of us moving in His timing, and not our own.

Such a great piece and so transparent! To many of us, you and Kevin are so admired and at times, with the blessings you’ve encountered, it feels impossible to think you go through these moments too. Thanks for sharing the journey with us so that we too can remember that none of us are in this alone! 🫶🏾
