View PrayersBecause sometimes you need God and a good read. These prayers are raw, real, and straight from the manuscript.
Chapter 1 — Petty Prayer
"God, I'm really trying over here. Please remind me that I don't have to throw hands to feel heard. But if I do… let my wig stay in place and the cameras not catch it. Amen."
Chapter 1 — The Breakthrough
"Growth didn't come when life got easier. It came when I learned to pause before I reacted. Breathe instead of bark. Let peace win over pride. Be soft with myself when the world stayed hard."
Chapter 2 — Healing + Harmony
"Somewhere along the way, I unlocked the cheat codes to peace—two women I once thought were competing for space finally started walking in the same direction."
Chapter 3 — How I Broke the Pattern
"Being raised around enablers taught me to be loud. To speak up. To call it what it is. I'm hella vocal now—and I'm raising two daughters to be the same. Because if I stay quiet, how they gon' learn to roar?"
Chapter 5 — Dear Peace
"Peace, you are my birthright. My softness and my shield. You are not optional. You are sacred. And I will no longer apologize for choosing you."
Introduction — To the Reader

"A heart that whispers still counts."
Your daily framework for moving from survival to wholeness — rooted in the BRBR six-step journey. Use the daily prompts to center each morning and the weekly reflections to check in with your growth.
Morning Intake
"What chapter or passage am I sitting with today? What words jumped off the page and grabbed me by the collar?"
Honest Reflection
"What feelings came up while reading? Where did I see myself in the story? What truth am I still trying to dodge?"
Sacred Conversation
"God, here's what's on my heart today. I'm laying it down — the pride, the pain, the petty. Meet me where I am, not where I pretend to be."
Intentional Planning
"What is one thing I can do today to honor my healing? One boundary to hold? One old pattern to leave on read?"
Real-World Application
"Where will I be tested today? When the old me tries to show up, what does the new me choose instead?"
Evening Integration
"Did I show up for myself today? Where did I grow? Where did I stumble? And can I forgive myself for both?"
Reflection One
"This week, I showed up as ______. The version of me that surprised me most was ______. If I'm being real, the moment I'm most proud of is ______, and the moment I want a redo on is ______."
Reflection Two
"What pattern kept showing up this week? Did I react or respond? What triggered me the most, and what does that trigger teach me about what I still need to heal?"
Reflection Three
"Three things I'm grateful for this week — even if they were disguised as lessons. One thing I did just for me. One person who held space for me without me having to ask."
Reflection Four
"Next week, I'm committing to ______. The boundary I'm keeping is ______. The affirmation I'm carrying is: 'I am ______.' And the version of me I'm stepping into is ______."
"Healing is not a destination. It's a daily practice."

Author, Speaker, and Unapologetic Truth-Teller
Some folks call it code-switching. Others call it self-preservation. Nikki calls it sacred shapeshifting—becoming what life required without losing who she was. Learning how to carry both versions of herself with PRIDE.
Nichole was who she was raised to be—faithful, soft-spoken, nurturing. Nikki showed up when survival stopped being optional. She didn't appear overnight; she emerged slowly—through grief, responsibility, and silent battles no one else saw.
This book is the story of two women learning to walk in the same direction. And this platform? It's the movement that carries them both forward.
