The Power of Small Steps: How Women Can Create Big Life Shifts with Faith & Resilience

August 12, 2025 – Faith in Action

If you’ve ever stood at the bottom of what feels like a mountain and wondered, How will I ever get to the top?, this post is for you.

The truth is, you don’t climb that mountain in one giant leap. You take it step by step. And sometimes, the smallest steps are the ones that create the biggest shifts in your life.

Why Small Steps Work When You’re Starting Over

When life feels overwhelming — after loss, heartbreak, job changes, health struggles, or even a complete restart — it’s tempting to think, I have to fix everything all at once.

But here’s the reality:

  • Small steps create momentum.

  • Momentum creates progress.

  • Progress builds confidence.

And confidence is where hope starts to grow again.

Small steps could be as simple as:

  • Making your bed every morning.

  • Drinking an extra glass of water.

  • Going for a 5-minute walk outside.

  • Saying one prayer before you start your day.

These tiny acts might feel insignificant, but over time, they lead to lasting change.

My Journey: From Loss to Hidden with Hope

After a hard divorce — leaving my home, my friends, my puppy, and everything I had built — I moved into a small apartment overlooking the intracoastal waterway. That space was my restart, my quiet place to heal and rebuild.

But this current chapter was different. It was out of my control. I got laid off from my job, and it felt like everything bad happened at once. My heart was in the right place, and I wanted to follow my dreams — but life kept testing me.

I fell in love and jumped into a relationship, only to realize it didn’t align with my values. A bad accident left me needing care, so I moved in with my father to recover and focus on my business. Now, I live with far fewer belongings — just clothes, shoes, keepsakes, and essentials — and it’s been humbling, but also freeing.

Out of this season, Hidden with Hope was born — a podcast, a platform, and a movement to encourage women who feel lost, isolated, or unsure where to start again.

Faith, Wellness, and Daily Progress

Hidden with Hope is about more than just inspiration — it’s about action. It’s about taking those small steps that eventually lead you into a whole new life.

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” – Zechariah 4:10

Whether that’s caring for your mind, your body, or your spirit — every small, consistent action matters.

If You’re Feeling Overwhelmed

If you feel discouraged, exhausted, lost, or like life just isn’t what you thought it would be — I get it. I’ve been there.

That’s why I created spaces where you can take your first steps forward:
