Kim’s verse: James 4:17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.   It reminds me that I am only in charge of my own sins and it helps as I'm a recovering control freak. It also releases me of my fears when I feel like I'm doing too much or being too bold. If I feel it's in God's path for me to do I lean on this verse. 

Kim’s Life lessons:

There's so many, but 3 really stand out. As I've processed and healed from my childhood I have learned that it's because of the trauma and pain that I endured, I have to be more so I can do more. I've learned that having a child with extra needs is much more of a blessing and not just because I get to be his mom, but it's where I stepped into my power. Until you're faced advocating daily for the person you love most you don't always know the power you truly have. Lastly, entrepreneurship is not about me. I'm enneagram 3, and I love to be the spotlight, but growing a community like Mompreneur Collective consists less and less about ME and more about the mothers I get to be in community with. 

Kim’s Super power: Story and the power of our words. Our words, especially in the digital space, house so much power. We truly get to change lives from sharing one story. We all have stories and that's why our foundation in Mompreneur Collective is story. Until you make space to listen to your story, feel it and share it, your business is about the product. 

Kim’s Jesus story:

I fought it for years. I didn't grow up with faith and what I did see from others was people going to church on Sunday to repeat the same negative behaviors Monday. When people would tell me Jesus died for my sins and I was God's daughter I would laugh. I didn't believe anyone or any higher power could love me and allow the abuse that happened to me throughout my childhood. As I became a mother and our truths were being challenged with our son being so ill I attempted, slightly, to listen to his word. I did believe then that it was all happening for a greater purpose, I just wasn't sure how. 5 years into motherhood and Drew is doing better. I've listened more. In March of 2020 Drew came home from school and he said, "mom, I think it's time God becomes our friend." That Sunday I took him and his brother to church and we started our journey of learning. Since, there's been so many opportunities of growth and reflection. Learning exactly how he has continued to prime me for the gifts of my life. I'm currently in the place of full gratitude for what he has done for me and our family. I value the relationship we are creating with God now. All because God gave us this precious son to raise.
