MY STORY

I started my faith-based service business with training, a borrowed massage table, some basic supplies, a few hundred dollars, and a handful of clients who trusted me.

I did what most of us do. I worked hard, I served people well, and I grew. Clients returned. They referred their friends. In time, I was fully booked, working long days, five to six days a week, and then I ran straight into a wall I did not know existed: my own capacity.

Nothing was wrong with the business.
The problem was that the business was me.

So I learned, sometimes the hard way, what I now teach others. I brought on other providers and faced every fear that comes with trusting other people with your clients and your standards. I designed a client experience on purpose, from the first booking to the follow-up. I wrote down how everything worked, so the business could keep its promises when I was not in the room. I ended up developing an apprentice into a lead therapist who could carry real responsibility. I grew the business until it operated beyond me, and later, acquiring a second business taught me lessons about culture and due diligence that I would never have chosen and would not trade.

Then motherhood, and loss, reshaped what success even meant. I’ve come to know that a business is something God entrusts to us to steward, well. It should never become the thing that owns us.

That is why Courageous Like Her exists, and it is why Business Beyond You is built the way it is.

Be blessed sister, and thank you for being here.
