Your Story Matters: Start Small. Speak Boldly.

June 05, 20251 min read

I used to think my story didn’t matter. That it had to be polished, powerful, and perfectly packaged before I could share it. But here’s what I’ve learned: your story doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be yours.

Every big movement begins with a whisper. Every bold voice once trembled. And every woman who now speaks with confidence once sat quietly, wondering if anyone would care.

If you’ve been holding your story in, waiting for the “right time,” I want to gently nudge you today: Start small. Write one sentence in your journal. Share one experience with a trusted friend. Say one prayer for courage.

Speaking boldly doesn’t always mean shouting from a stage. Sometimes it’s just saying, “This is what I’ve been through. This is what I’ve learned. And this is where I’m headed.”

Your story is a gift. A light. A lifeline. And the moment you begin to share it, you give someone else permission to do the same.

So let this be your reminder:
Your story matters. Start small. Speak boldly. We’re listening.
