Why This Matters

Are You Carrying Pain That Started in Your Family?

You might’ve grown up thinking silence, favoritism, or shame were “normal.” Maybe the pain no one talked about left you carrying more than your heart was meant to hold.
I understand—I’ve lived it.
I created Made On Purpose Life and wrote Perfectly Placed for women like you—those walking through family wounds, faith struggles, and identity loss… but still holding on to hope.
Your story isn’t over. Your past doesn’t define you.
God still does..
