Reality Road Inspiration was born on March 15, 2023, created by a woman who had hit rock bottom so hard that she felt like she would never recover, and almost didn’t. She came so close to giving up and ending the pain and torment permanently. The pain was literally physical, and she just wanted it to stop.
That woman was me, and all I could do was hit my knees and beg God to make it stop. I asked for a sign that I wasn’t in hell alone. I was one of those people that were so stubborn that I needed an in-your-face sign to see it. And I promise you one thing: if you are not ready, don’t ask for it!
That day was the beginning of this painful yet beautiful and magical journey I have been on ever since. I won’t lie and say it’s been easy because it hasn’t, far from it. But if you are willing to show up for yourself and do the work even when you’re afraid, even when you’re tired, it does work and your life will not be the same. Pain changes you, but so does radical acceptance.
When I first created Reality Road Inspiration, I’m going to be honest: it failed miserably. I wanted to show everyone what God had done for me and given me. That was me trying to take control away from God and saying, “I got this now,” and He showed me just how much I didn’t have it! He wasn’t done with me yet because I hadn’t actually done the work yet! But now, after a lifetime in hell (of my own creation), I’m finally free! And so, now I’m ready to walk back into hell and help you find your way out too!
