Happy New Year, sis ✨ I know your inbox is probably overflowing with New Year offers and your mind may already be bombarded with new goals, habits, and things you feel pressure to change. So I don’t want this email to be long, I simply hope it meets you with encouragement, peace, and a gentle reminder of what truly matters as we step into this new year together. I want to share two charges God placed on my heart for 2026, and I believe they’ll be a blessing to you as well. 1. Strengthen...

Hey Reader, How are you? It’s been a while since I’ve shown up in your inbox, and life has been a little wild over here. My husband, baby, and I took a 14-hour drive from Milwaukee to New York to spend time with family. Our two-week trip somehow turned into almost a month!! And we’re squeezing in a Maryland stop to see one of my best friends. With all of that, I’ve been working part-time for a well-known ministry leader and continuing to build out this real estate program God put on my heart...

Hey Reader, It’s 4:28 a.m., my heart heavy and filled with urgency as I write this to you. I was in the middle of editing another newsletter when I stopped to read an article that said, “The Supreme Court temporarily freezes order requiring our current administration to provide full SNAP payments.” Now, I’m not one who’s into politics or much controversial talk, but when I read this, my heart was burdened. Isaiah 1:17 states, “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the...

Hey Reader, I was sitting with God the other day… not journaling, not planning… just sitting. And I started thinking about how easy it is to say we're building a God-centered business, but if we're honest? Sometimes we're just asking Him to sprinkle favor on the plans we already made. That thought checked me. Like, Odaisha… who’s really leading this thing? So I opened my Bible, landed in Matthew 7, and it felt like God gave me a fresh blueprint, not a complicated system, not another to-do...

Hey Reader, You ever felt that tugging from God, like He’s asking you to move, do something, or shift… but you’re not exactly sure what it is? I just came off such a high two weekends ago — we christened our beautiful baby girl 💕. Family came through, love filled the house, and my heart was so full. Family photoshoot after the Christening Then came Monday. I’ve been working on a particular project in my real estate company that’s been leaving me perplexed, a little anxious, a little unsure of...

Hey sis, Yesterday, I felt so burdened by everything happening in our nation with the government shutdown that I had to stop what I was doing to send you a word of encouragement. I want to remind you of who we serve; a faithful God who is not shaken or moved by shutdowns, layoffs, or lack. He is still on the throne. He is still in control. And He still makes ways out of no way for His people. If you’ve been impacted by this season, I want you to know that God sees you, He knows you, and He...

Hi sis, The other day I was prepping for a hair appointment because I wanted a new style. I had a wig at home that I thought could work, but it needed to be dyed to match my copper hair color. So I got to work. I grabbed the wig, did my research, and went down the YouTube rabbit hole to figure out how to color it. Forty dollars later — developer, dye, gloves, foil, the whole 9 — I spent hours on the process…only for the color not to take. Back to “YouTube University” I went, and that’s when I...

Hey sis, The other day I found myself overly emotional driving home from library time with my baby girl. It was a Friday, my schedule was wide open, and instead of feeling rested, I felt… un-useful. Almost like I hadn’t done anything “productive.” Right now, I’m in a season where God has asked me to lay down my real estate business (I only take referrals now) and make room for something new He’s placing on my heart. But until that unfolds, most of my days look like dishes, laundry, cooking...

Happy Monday sis, I just got off the phone with my accountant, Matt—who’s been lovingly chasing me down for weeks to do a mid-year review. To be honest, I was avoiding him. I hadn’t hit the revenue goals I planned for this quarter, my books weren’t organized the way they should be, and I was carrying so much shame, guilt, and frustration around my business finances. But here’s the truth God reminded me of during that call: the overflow doesn’t come before we get our house in order—it comes...
