In this episode of Destiny Architecture®, join me as I share reflections on this Small Business Saturday about going through a rough season.

I talk about my small business, (which allows me to offer Reiki sessions and coaching), as well as my personal journey of sobriety and transformation through spirituality and personal development.

🚨 Spoiler Alert: This is a vulnerable one!

I open up about the challenges I'm currently facing, including the impending loss of a family member, and how I'm navigating through it all with resilience and a sense of service.

I hope this inspires you as I offer hope and encouragement to those going through tough times this holiday season and remind you that we are never alone on this journey of life.
