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…

Let me be honest… there have been days where I’ve mistaken exhaustion for failure. Where slowing down felt like I was falling behind. But Psalm 46:10 reminds us: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
This episode is for every woman who’s been carrying too much for too long. If your soul is tired, if your mind feels cluttered, if your body is begging for rest—you’re not lazy, sis… you’re in need of God’s presence.
Today, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to lean into stillness without shame. To let God refill what’s been poured out. And to trust that His peace is more productive than my striving.
🕊️ Let’s talk about the power of pressing pause—and how resting in Him renews your strength.
📖 Declare this with me: I am strengthened when I rest in God’s presence.

I know what it’s like to want a clear answer—praying, waiting, hoping for some kind of sign. But God reminded me through Psalm 119:105: His Word is the lamp and the light.
In today’s devotion, we’re talking about what it really means to let Scripture guide your steps. Not just when life is easy, but when it’s hard to see what’s ahead. I’m sharing how the Word has kept me grounded, focused, and full of hope—even in seasons where everything around me felt uncertain.
📖 If you’ve been looking for clarity or waiting for confirmation, this episode will help you realign your faith and remind you that God has already spoken—you just have to open the Book.

53 | Reflect, Rejoice, and Shift Your Perspective
Friday Dec 13, 2024
Friday Dec 13, 2024
Let’s be honest—rejoicing always? Giving thanks in every circumstance? That can feel like a stretch, especially when life is heavy.
But 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 reminds us that gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a discipline. A declaration. A decision to trust God even when you don’t understand the season.
In today’s devotion, we’re leaning into what it means to reflect on where God’s brought us—and rejoice even in the middle of what doesn’t make sense yet. I’ll share how choosing gratitude has shifted my mindset, strengthened my prayers, and reminded me that joy isn’t about perfection—it’s about perspective.
🌸 If your heart feels heavy but you still want to honor God with praise, this episode will meet you right where you are.
🗣️ Let’s declare it together: I will reflect on God’s faithfulness and rejoice in every season.

52 | Feeling Spiritually Drained? Here’s Why You Can’t Bear Fruit Without the Vine
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
Sis, if you’ve been feeling spiritually dry—even while staying “busy for God”—this one’s for you.
In today’s devotion, we’re sitting with the words of Jesus in John 15:5: “I am the vine; you are the branches…” and exploring what it really means to abide in Him.
It’s easy to mistake movement for growth. But Jesus reminds us—apart from Him, we can do nothing. True fruitfulness comes from connection, not performance. And if your soul has felt off lately, maybe it’s time to check your connection, not your calendar.
🌿 I’ll share how I’ve learned to slow down, stay rooted, and let His presence be my source—not just my safety net.
✨ Declare it with me today: I am connected to the Vine, and I bear fruit through Him.

51 | Thinking About Giving Up? Don’t—Your Harvest Is Closer Than You Think
Tuesday Dec 10, 2024
Tuesday Dec 10, 2024
Can I be honest? There have been moments where I’ve questioned if my consistency even mattered. Moments where I felt unseen, unappreciated, and just plain tired.
But Galatians 6:9 reminds us: “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” That’s not just a cute verse—it’s a promise.
In today’s devotion, I’m encouraging every woman who’s been sowing in tears, showing up even when it’s hard, and wondering when the breakthrough will come. Don’t quit now, sis. You’re closer than you think.
🎯 We’ll talk about how to stay strong in your spirit, reset your perspective, and keep moving forward when weariness tries to take over.
💬 Declare this with me: I am finishing this race strong. My harvest is coming, and I will not give up.

Let’s be real—rejection hurts. Whether it’s from a relationship, a job, a friendship, or even a dream that didn’t work out, it can leave you feeling unwanted and unseen.
But sis… what if that “no” was God’s protection? What if the closed door was actually divine redirection?
In this Faith Slayer Friday episode, I’m unpacking how rejection, while painful, is often the very tool God uses to prune, prepare, and position us for something greater. I’ll share what I’ve learned from my own seasons of rejection—and how they pushed me closer to my identity in Christ, not further from it.
💔 If you’ve ever felt like you weren’t enough or wondered why they walked away—this episode will remind you: God never leaves, and His plans never fail.
💬 Let’s declare this truth together: I am not defined by rejection. I am redirected by God’s love.

In this special thankHER series episode, I’m sharing why cultivating a heart of gratitude is a spiritual weapon and a daily invitation into deeper joy and intimacy with God. We’re not just talking about saying “thanks” when things are good—we’re talking about choosing gratitude in all things, and watching how it changes everything.
💛 I’ll give you simple, Spirit-led ways to practice thankfulness—even when life feels like it’s not going your way.
🗣️ Let’s declare it together: I am choosing gratitude daily, and it is transforming my heart and my faith.
