Hello, cherished community members!
As we embark on this beautiful journey of Soul Care Wellness together, letโs take a moment to look back at the paths weโve traveled. Often, there's that one pivotal 'Aha!' moment that sparks our quest for deeper soul care โ a moment of profound insight or a wake-up call that changes our perspective on wellness and self-care.
๐ฑ I invite you to share that turning point in your life.ย ๐ฑ
What was the situation or realization that led you to prioritize your soulโs wellness?
How did it change the way you approach your daily life?
What's one piece of wisdom you've gained that could inspire or support others in our community?
Your experiences are the picture of wisdom that can enrich our collective understanding. Even if youโre starting and havenโt had that moment, share what soul care means and what you hope to discover in this community.
Remember, there's no 'right' journey โ each of our stories is unique and valuable. Let's support and uplift each other as we share, learn, and grow!
๐ผ I'll go first: ๐ My Moment of Clarityย ๐
In 2009, I found myself in a certification class filled with the soothing scents of essential oils amidst a discussion that would pivot my life's direction. We delved into how our bodies become vaults for our emotions, storing every untold story and unexpressed feeling. A simple question surfaced: Why is such a profound truth not echoed within the walls of our churches and women's fellowships?
This question became the key that unlocked my pursuit of self-discovery, guiding me to peel back the layers of emotional baggage that I had accumulated over the years. The journey was eye-opening and transformative, challenging me to confront what lay buried and to embrace the vulnerability of healing.
It wasn't an easy path. It was shadowed with uncertainty, and, yes, it was scary. But the Holy Spirit became my compass, guiding me towards a more authentic understanding of myself. And what I unearthed was powerful: to truly live, to embrace the fullness of life, I had to trust in the process of deliverance and inner healing. By creating safe spaces, I now help individuals process pain into purpose by creating blueprints of success according to God's original design for their lives.
๐ Your Turnย ๐
Now, I extend an invitation to each of you: would you be willing to share a moment that sparked your journey toward deeper self-awareness and soul care?
Perhaps it was a gentle nudge or a dramatic revelation.
Maybe it came softly through meditation, or it was a loud wake-up call.
How did it alter the course of your life?
Letโs share our wisdom. There's profound strength in vulnerability and immense power in our collective stories. Don't worry about where you're at in your journey; your starting point might be the green light someone else needs to see.
๐ Iโll leave you with this thought:ย Every revelation is an opportunity for healing, and with every step of growth, grace and resilience abound.
I am looking forward to reading about your journeys and insights!
Warmly,
Shelby Frederick

Ok so my pivotal moment was January 9th 2022. I had to decide to let God handle my situation or decide I was going to handle it. God spoke clearly to me and asked me to decide. Obviously I let God handle the situation and that's when o knew I was pregnant with purpose. I would either abort it or birth it. He showed me my ministry in a dream and then it was a wrap. I have been on ๐ฅ ๐ฅ ๐ฅ since. I am mantled for greater things and I am walking this thing out! ๐ฅ
