14 months ago I had $0 MRR, $25k in debt

14 months ago I had $0 MRR, $25k in debt

then I found out I was pregnant

breakdown doesn't even begin to describe what I was going through

panic. breakdown. screaming - idek what I was feeling

this is my testimony, which I've been too scared to share until now

last year, I spent 3 months travelling in a deep grind, completely re-working my brand and funnel

I tore everything down, fired all my clients, in the name of building from a blank slate

the week I got back home to Bali and ready to implement everything? 3 days late. 2 lines on a test.

I didnt plan to have a baby. like, at all. I didn't even think I could - I got told at 22 I was infertile

having panic attacks whilst vomming literally 24/7. in my first trimester, I lost so much weight, even though I should have gained it

I thought God was playing some sick trick, laughing at me

HAHAHAHHA I WAS SO WRONG

whoever knew 2 big bold lines would be the exact thing I needed

because I had this intense vision about halfway through pregnancy

I actually asked for this

throwback to those 3 months travelling. I'm in Vientiane, Laos. I pray 'God if you exist, if you're even real and you're out there, I pray you come into my life like a wildfire. Burn anything not meant for me. Come in like a flood and put my business on the path you designed it for'

but i completely forgot i said these words, and tbh i dont even know where they came from

but they came

and guys i cannot explain it, but from that moment it all just... made sense?

i felt a calm I've never felt before. a knowing. an assertion

so i gave up all control

(and yes as a control freak, it was very f*cking hard)

overnight, my business was getting enquiry upon enquiry

fertility experts, baby products, prenatal supplements, nappy brands

erm?? am I living in a dystopian universe? is this a dream??

unless im in a coma and still in that dream, sis that wasn't a dream

I gave birth exactly 6 months ago. My business has never been more profitable. I'm making impact every single day, for health + wellness brands around the globe with frickin awesome missions

burn it down i said. come in like a flood, and put me on the right path.

and quite literally overnight, God did just that

when i look back at that time i saw those 2 lines and felt nothing but despair, I smile

because that girl has just no idea how blessed her life is about to get

To Micah,

My biggest joy in life is being your mother. I praise God every day that he created such a special soul and said 'yeah, imma give you to Danielle'.

In the bible Micah 7:8 says 'for though I will fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light'

You are my light, Micah. Until the day I die.

I don't post about my faith too much. I put my hands up, sometimes I'm scared/shy. But I feel called to share my testimony on a random Friday at 17:31pm. So here it is

God saved my life
