Freedom is a journey, not a destination. True liberation begins with confronting the invisible chains of self-doubt, past traumas, and limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in survival mode. Breaking free requires unlearning the harmful narratives we've internalized, relearning our inherent worth, and taking bold steps toward reclaiming our power. This journey isn’t just about escaping the pain but about fully embracing the life we deserve. Liberation is a daily commitment—a choice to rise above fear, silence the noise of doubt, and walk confidently in our purpose.

When society's unattainable beauty ideals collide with internal feelings of inadequacy, the result is often a desperate pursuit of perfection—no matter the cost. Kimmie, from Beauty In The Black, witnessed this firsthand as her best friend Rain, in search of validation through external changes, nearly lost her life to an unlicensed procedure. Rain’s story mirrors the silent struggles of countless women who sacrifice their well-being for fleeting acceptance. True beauty is not a destination; it’s the unshakable confidence that comes from knowing your worth, flaws and all.

n Walking in Wisdom: Protecting Your Worth from Predatory Influence, we explore the life of Kimmie, a young woman who faces a series of manipulative relationships that threaten to erode her self-worth. As Kimmie’s journey unfolds, she learns that walking in wisdom requires a blend of self-respect, awareness, and the courage to walk away from situations that don’t serve her best interests. Empowered by the lesson that true value comes from within, Kimmie grows to understand that real love and support won’t come with strings attached or hidden agendas. Instead, they uplift and respect her worth without diminishing it.

Facing a setback can feel like a blow to our confidence, especially when we were more than qualified and put in our very best. But a single outcome doesn’t define our worth. True resilience is built in these challenging moments when we choose to keep moving forward, refusing to let defeat smolder our confidence. In this post, we’ll explore how to rise above setbacks, embrace growth, and keep shining—even when life doesn’t go as planned. Now is the time to dig deep, lean into our support systems, and do the real work of building unshakeable confidence. Remember, setbacks are simply setups for a greater purpose.

In Beauty in the Black, Kimmie’s story echoes a journey many women endure when purpose is missing. She stumbles through toxic relationships, numbing vices, and a cycle of self-blame, searching for worth in all the wrong places. As a worthiness coach, I've seen how discovering purpose transforms lives, shifting women from surviving to truly thriving. My hope is that by the end of the Netflix series, Kimmie, too, finds that turning point—one where she no longer settles for less but steps confidently into her own power, creating a legacy built on self-worth.

In Beauty in the Black, Kimmie’s story is a profound testament to resilience and the power of self-discovery. After enduring homelessness, abuse, and betrayal—particularly from those she trusted most—Kimmie believed her worth was diminished. Her experiences reflect the emotional toll many women face when they are manipulated into thinking their value lies in their circumstances or relationships. But Kimmie’s journey is a powerful reminder that no amount of hardship can strip away our inherent worth
