I am Shakera, widowed mother of two, Best-Selling Author, Transformation Speaker, and Christian Life Coach. For 14 years, I carried the weight of shame from childhood trauma and deep personal loss.
I tried avoiding my past because I thought it disqualified me and I needed to prove my worth.
I finally realized that God couldn’t heal what I didn’t reveal and if I wanted to move from brokenness to wholeness, I needed to identify who I was in Christ Jesus.
I went on a healing journey to face my truth and recover what trauma tried to steal. I developed spiritually, emotionally, and intentionally so I could show up confidently and build a Kingdom legacy. Now, I’m ready to help you heal, grow, and glow…

This episode is personal. As I reflect on the year behind me, I’m reminded that transformation doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from surrendering deeper.
We’re diving into 2 Corinthians 3:18 and the powerful truth that you are being transformed, day by day, to reflect God’s glory. Not because you’ve mastered everything or checked all the boxes—but because His Spirit is alive and at work in you.
I’ll share how I’ve seen His transforming power in my own life this year—through pain, through purpose, through peace I couldn’t explain. And I’ll challenge you to pause and look at how far you’ve come too.
🎧 If you’ve been feeling like you should be further along or more “put together” by now, this is your reminder: you are His reflection in progress.
📓 Plus, I’ll give you a journal prompt to help you acknowledge your growth and keep walking boldly into 2025—reflecting His glory, not your grind.

There’ve been seasons where I felt completely alone—even when I was surrounded by people. But the promise of Immanuel means this: no matter what we face, God is with us.

💛 If you’ve been feeling forgotten, lonely, or like God’s been silent—this episode is your reminder: you are seen, loved, and never alone.
✨ Let’s declare today’s affirmation together: I am never alone because God is with me.

Let’s be real—it’s easy to get discouraged when the promise feels big but your current assignment feels small. But sis… small doesn’t mean insignificant.
In today’s episode, we’re digging into Luke 16:10 and the truth that God watches how we steward the little things before He releases the big blessings. That means your quiet obedience, your behind-the-scenes service, your “yes” when no one else is watching—it all matters.
I’ll share what I’ve learned about mastering faithfulness in the unseen seasons and how it’s often the preparation ground for elevation.
💫 If you’ve been wondering why the breakthrough hasn’t come or if your consistency is even worth it—this conversation is for you.
🗝️ Let’s talk about how to unlock big blessings by being faithful with what’s already in your hands.
📖 And don’t forget to declare this: I am faithful in the small things, trusting God with the big picture.

I’ll share how I’ve struggled with surrender too, especially in seasons where control felt safer than trust. But the truth is, peace doesn’t come from figuring it all out—it comes from giving it all to the One who cares for you deeply.
💨 If you’ve been holding your breath, bracing for the worst, or just tired of carrying things that are too heavy… this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to carry it alone.

Have you ever asked, “God, are You sure You picked the right one?”
I have. More than once.
But 2 Timothy 3:16-17 reminds us that we are already thoroughly equipped through the Word of God—for every good work. That means you don’t have to wait until you feel qualified, flawless, or “enough” to walk in your calling. If God called you to it, He’s already given you what you need.
In today’s devotion, I’m sharing how Scripture has been my anchor, my guide, and my trainer—especially in uncertain seasons. Whether you’re launching something new, battling insecurity, or navigating a big decision, God’s Word equips you with boldness and wisdom.
📖 Let’s talk about how to stop second-guessing and start standing firm in the truth of who God says you are and what He’s prepared you for.
🗣️ And declare this with me: I am fully equipped through God’s Word to walk in His purpose.
