Hey, I'm LaKena!

A sexual abuse survivor. A middle-aged woman who once contemplated ending my life. A divorced mom to three amazing humans. From the outside people thought, “She's has a great life!” But for years, I felt lost, empty and honestly… I was just going through the motions!

Until I decided to do the work to rediscover ME!

I've let go of the lies, the things and people who weren't apart of my best life, and created a life that I love! A life that is firmly rooted in my true identity in God and how much Christ loves me!

I know what it is like to feel lost in your own life. I want to create a community for Christian mid-life women where we encourage and challenge each other to get up from who or what tried to knock us down. If life feels like you've been slammed into a wall, this is a safe place for you.. Girl, Get Up and Live!

I'm inviting you to Get Up. Overcome. Win. Make your second half of life FANTABULOUS!

Midlife women in community and laughing, loving life

Life's an adventure, right? One minute you're 18, thinking you've got all the time in the world, then BAM… you're 50, wondering where the those years went. But remember, to God, a thousand years are like a day – He's got a different timeline.

We slip into our roles like they're tailor-made – daughter, wife, mom, worker bee. No questions asked, just hustling through the daily grind. Then, one by one, those responsibilities start dropping off, and there we are, standing solo, trying to figure out who we really are and what God's purpose is for us.

Most of us have faced battles, divorce, disappointment, setbacks, you may even feel like your life has been slammed into a wall, but you still have dreams. And with faith, all things are possible. Girl, get up and live!

Girl, listen… as long as you're breathing, you've got time! Time to shut down that inner noise of fear, remember who God said you are, and turn those visions into reality. God has brought you through this far, right? Trust me, in faith you got this.

After all, with God as your Source, the sky's not even the limit!

Welcome to Girl, Get Up and Live, a community for women over 40, entering into the best half of their lives!
