Journey to me

I treated myself so poorly and people were comfortable treating me in the same way I was treating myself. How could anyone in this world treat me with such love and care if I couldn’t even treat myself with love and care? I had to start over.

Welcome to A Redeemer's Heart. This is a space of truth. Not all truths hurt. Some are sweet, profound and life changing. It's always important to find your truth and glean in it.

Just me

I am Brittany, a child of the Most High, a wife, mother, sister, friend, and business owner to multiple businesses. I would not trade this life for the world. I am living out my dreams. I am happy and I am enjoying the daily lessons of life. I embrace the challenges and have found peace in living in my truth.

I have to admit that wearing many hats can be exhausting. I first noticed a shift in my thought process after I had my second child. The pregnancy changed me in so many ways. My tastebuds changed. My temperament changed. My mentality changed. I had such a hard time adjusting because I had no control over my body. I believed that after I had my son that I would snap back to who I knew myself to be. Boy, I was wrong! I breastfed for a year after his birth and thought that I would be “out of the woods” once I completed the journey. Wrong again. I had no desire to eat healthy, to stretch or do anything that would nurture me. I was in full mom mode. Everything I did was for everyone else.

Bee You

I opened Bee You in Newark, DE, and launched a small head wrap business in the heart of the pandemic. I worked very well under the constant pressures of so much newness. I was forced to learn so many new things while still trying to learn myself. I struggled and am still struggling with my diet. My attention went from what is wrong with me to how can I scale my business?

One day I had an epiphany.

I was so tired of feeling like I was running on fumes. I was tired of feeling like I could never catch my breath. I had so many people pulling on me from so many different directions. I was stretched so thin. I stopped answering the phone andI stopped opening the text messages.

I just stopped.

In the stillness I discovered the root of my issues.

No Boundaries

I had no boundaries. I treated myself so poorly and people were comfortable treating me in the same way I was treating myself. How could anyone in this world treat me with such love and care if I couldn’t even treat myself with love and care? I had to start over. I had to reevaluate the relationships that I nurtured and re-teach them how to love and handle me. In this journey to me, I had to reclaim myself. I had to let the frustrations go and forgive myself.

The journey to me began on my 32nd birthday. I was tired of the newfound acne all over my face from my diet and these darn masks. I was tired of the tightness in my groin because my muscles were so tight and I wouldn’t commit to stretching. I knew the best way to begin healing my mind, body, and soul was to start with self-care. I spent my birthdayat a spa. I got a facial and a massage and I dated my husband. I began to be consistent with my early mornings being devoted to Christ. I started saying no behind the chair. I reworked my priorities.

Breathing in newness

Truly living and breathing in newness. I put Christ back into his rightful place and devoted more of my time and energy to my family. I am still not 100% on track with my diet but I am making healthier decisions. My groin is still tight and my hips are still not aligned but I am stretching every morning. It feels good to be back on track. I am not completely back to me but I am on the journey to me. I’m at peace and my heart is lighter.

I share this with you in hopes that when you feel less like yourself and get off track, that you take a moment and stop. In the stillness listen to your heart and get back on track. Change isn’t easy and consistency takes time. You can be happy and still struggle in many areas of life. It is okay to live in your truth.

Make a vow to always take care of yourself and to re-center and realign every single time that you need to.

Love and Light!
