I usually don’t like making posts like this but it’s needed. It’s very much longer than what I normally write

I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it—life has been lifing. Rent is past due, lights gotta stay on, and yes, I’m talking about medicine I need to keep myself healthy. Y’all know me: I try to handle my business, keep my faith strong, and laugh through it all—but sometimes, even the strongest women need a hand.

How did we get here?

My husband's father passed away last September. He was the one who primarily helped us when we got into financial difficulties. I’m the sole income provider because my husband is disabled and can’t work. My parents are getting older and dealing with their own issues, but they help as much as they can. We were also victims of an online scam where I applied for what I thought was a legit job—but it wasn’t—and they made off with my expensive iPad. That wiped out our savings. On top of that, I work a regular job, but they cut my hours, so my income is even tighter this month.

Now, I’m not asking for a handout. I do have products and services that can help you grow your business. But if you don’t have a business, you can also donate money. The total I need to cover everything this month is $6,000. If all you can spare is $5, that helps too—every bit counts. Once I get back on my feet, I plan to pay it forward to help someone else in this situation.

If you can’t donate right now, that’s cool. I understand. I’m trying to get monetized on my social media platforms, and it costs nothing to subscribe and engage with my content. Every like, comment, and share helps me get closer to building a sustainable income.

If you want to support me, subscribe here (it’s free) or become a paid subscriber. You can also go to

Thank you for being part of my world, for holding space, and for showing up when it matters.

Listen.
We’ve made it to the last Tuesday of April, and if that ain’t worth a praise break, I don’t know what is.
This ain’t just another “Taco Tuesday” — this is Transformation Tuesday, baby, and God’s been doing some real work behind the scenes.

April came in heavy —
Shaky bank accounts.
Tired bodies.
Bold prayers whispered through clenched jaws.
And yet… you’re still here. Still sowing. Still believing.

That’s not by accident.

🌧️ April Showers, Baby — But They Hit Different When You’re Kingdom

We love to say “April showers bring May flowers” like it’s just a nursery rhyme. But if you really knew what you were watering this month?

Whew.
You wouldn’t just shout — you’d start planning for the harvest.

Genesis 1:1 reminds us:

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

Which means you’re a creator too. Not by job title, but by divine design.

And then Jesus hits us with that John 7:38 truth:

“Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

So if you’ve been showing up, building behind the scenes, and fighting through spiritual fog — guess what?

You’re not stuck.
You’re becoming.

🛑 But Let Me Talk to My Aspiring Entrepreneurs Real Quick...

You’ve got vision.
You’ve got ideas.
But you might be sitting on your gifts because you don’t know the how.

That’s why I’m beyond excited to tell you about the Six Figure Academy — a new business training vault that’s coming soon for purpose-driven women like us. This ain’t my course, but baby, I believe in it so much I had to shout it from the digital rooftop.

You know how folks post “just wait on it” when something fire is about to drop?
Yeah. This is that moment.

👀 Want a Sneak Peek?

Sis, I got you.

There’s a free preview available right now so you can see what’s inside this Kingdom-powered business resource before it officially launches. I’m talking:

✅ Real strategies
✅ Faith-forward mentorship
✅ Templates and tools for content, funnels, and more

So if you’ve been praying for God to “make a way” — this just might be it.
No more overthinking.
No more wishing.
Just start where you are, and let God meet you in your yes.

🎯 Ready for Your Transformation?

📚 Get inspired, equipped, and ready to build like a woman who believes
🔥 Then keep your eyes peeled for the official launch — it’s coming!

Hey queen 💜

Let’s talk real quick about something folks love to skip — tracking your social media posts. I get it. Posting feels like enough already, especially when you’re juggling business, life, and trying to not lose your mind in the process 😅 But listen…

📌 If you’re not tracking what you’re posting, how do you know what’s working?
📌 How do you know what to post more of?
📌 And how do you make sure you're not repeating yourself or falling off the consistency wagon?

That’s where my Social Media Tracker comes in 💁🏾‍♀️ It’s simple, cute, and straight to the point — just how we like it. You can use it to keep tabs on your content, stay organized, and start moving with intention instead of just guessing.

And honey... it’s only $5.00 🤑 That’s less than your favorite coffee run, and it’ll actually help you make money instead of just sipping it.

✨ Ready to stop winging it and start winning with your content?
Grab the tracker and get your digital life together 👉🏾 https://deannatroupe.bcns.link/smt

#TechTipsThursday #DigitalMarketingForMoms 💜

So I decided to bring my Sunday Nugget chats over here to Substack before I post them as a YouTube Video or FB post. So here’s this week’s post. Enjoy.

Call Him Up for Renewal

I’ve always believed that how you start your day matters. For me, that means kicking things off with some good, upbeat gospel music to get my spirit aligned and ready to face whatever’s on the agenda.

For a while now, one of my go-to songs has been *All My Trials* sung by Harold Robinson. His version just hits in a special way. Every time I listened, it felt like I was being reminded that I wasn’t alone that God was right there with me in the middle of whatever I was going through.

But one morning last week, I opened YouTube like I usually do, clicked on the video, and found out that Harold Robinson had passed away.

Whew. That shook me.

I sat with that for a moment, then clicked on another version of the song just to process the news. But Harold’s version kept showing up like it didn’t want to let me go just yet.

That’s when I came across a video from Sylvia Rose Cobb. In it, she spoke about the passing of her son. Now, he wasn’t her biological son, but more like a church son. Still, hearing her talk about him and their connection moved me.

So, me being me, I did what I always do when something stirs my spirit — I went down the rabbit hole. I started researching Sylvia Rose Cobb and found out that she wrote All My Trials. Not only that, but she also wrote Call Him Up, Come On Up a Little Higher (which came out the year I was born), and Restore My Soul. She wrote countless other songs that are a staple in the Church of Christ but that’s another post for another day.

The deeper I went, the clearer it became: God was using this moment to deliver a message to me about renewal.

Waiting Is Trusting

Isaiah 40:31 says:

> *“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”*

And that word “wait” isn’t passive. It’s not about sitting around, twiddling your thumbs, hoping something good will eventually happen. That kind of waiting is *active.* It’s holding on, leaning in, and continuing to trust when your strength feels like it’s running low.

And let’s be real — sometimes we are straight-up exhausted. Not just physically tired, but *soul tired.* That’s when the reminder to “renew your strength” hits different.

Divine Confirmations and 222

While I was checking out Sylvia Rose Cobb’s catalog of music, I noticed her office phone number included **222** a number that’s been following me for years. Every time I see it, I know it’s a divine nudge. For me, it’s confirmation that I’m on the right track — that God sees me, and I’m aligned with where He’s trying to take me.

So when I saw that 222 in her number, along with the titles of her songs like *Restore My Soul* and *Call Him Up,* I knew this wasn’t just a coincidence. This was spiritual alignment.

Call Him Up

Sis, you don’t have to keep running on empty. You don’t have to keep pouring when your cup is cracked and dry. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is pause, breathe, and call Him up

Literally say:

“God, I need You. Restore my mind. Renew my strength. Remind me who I am.”

Because the same God who gave you the vision will give you the fuel. You just have to *call Him up and tell Him what you want.*

And if this post blessed you, share it with someone who might need the reminder.

This week, don’t just hustle your way through it.

Take a breath. Take a beat.

And call Him up.

I just found out about a remote position that accepts all states. It’s for a document processor. Here’s the link to apply…

https://businessolver.com/careers/openings/?gh_jid=6706066

Yes I know everybody and they mama is a customer service rep. It is what it is. LOL. I was frustrated and I did what any normal person does—-I post a vent about it on FB. Here’s the post and the engagement…

That surprised me. I didn’t expect ANY interaction. You can see that was not the case. I guess I struck a nerve. In case you were wondering what ACW is, it means After Call Work. It’s the time that you get to enter notes, send email, or do whatever you promised the caller you would do. Now the current company I work for doesn’t allow any time for ACW. I’m sure it’s the client requesting that and not the company. I learned that I’m not alone. There are lots of companies doing his to their employees and then turn around and wonder why no notes are given. The Struggle….

Anywho. That post led to one of the group members mentioning that her job is hiring. So you know me being me…I slid into her dms and asked for more info and applied.

If you are interested in applying for this position, here are the deets:

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
