About The Weekly Wench

Welcome to The Weekly Wench—this isn’t just a blog, it’s a ministry, a movement, a love letter to every woman who’s done shrinking. This space exists for the ones who were told to stay quiet, to play small, to settle—and yet still chose to rise. I created this for the women who may not be ready to buy a ticket to the tour, afford a session, or even grab the book—but who still deserve access to the kind of wisdom that heals, liberates, and builds legacy. I also created it as an evergreen space for women from all walks of life—those who need inspiration, a reminder of their power, or a moment of clarity when everything feels cloudy. Each post is written like a sermon—truth-telling, soul-stirring, strategy-laced—and rooted in my commitment to make sure no woman has to start from scratch. You’ll find stories, reflections, and hard-won insight about reclaiming your voice, breaking generational patterns, preparing for your next level, and building a life that feels like freedom. This is the real work—the kind that feeds, not teases. This is for my mother, my grandmother, and every woman who came before me with fire in her bones but nowhere to put it. This is for the ones coming after me, so they can find language, tools, and evidence that it’s possible. This is more than a blog—it’s a movement. And we’re not shrinking anymore. Come get this word.

This Resilience “Ish” is for the Birds…But Bounce Back Anyway

The truth is, society loves to romanticize resilience. They’ll applaud you for being strong, for picking up the pieces, and for figuring it out when the plan goes left.

You’ve been stretched by life in ways that feel unfair, exhausting, and unrelenting. But every time, you’ve snapped back into the fight.
