Kingdom Builder

Dreaming with a Kingdom Builder

I was never meant to live an ordinary life.

From the beginning, there has been a stirring in me—a deep knowing that my life was tied to something greater than comfort, greater than routine, greater than what could be seen in the natural. I didn’t always have the language for it, but I felt it. A pull toward purpose. A call toward healing. A fire that refused to be ignored.

My journey hasn’t been linear. It has been marked by growth, stretching, refinement, and surrender. There were seasons where I had to unlearn what the world taught me about identity and relearn who I was through God’s eyes. I came to understand that I wasn’t just called to exist—I was called to build, to restore, and to carry something sacred into the marketplace.

That’s where Salt of the Earth Soap Company was born.

This wasn’t something I came up with on my own—it was first given to me as a dream. What God showed me in the spirit, He brought to life in the natural. What began as a small seed has now grown into something much bigger than a business—it has become a ministry, a vessel for healing, purpose, and impact.

I believe business can be ministry.

Through my brand, I’ve learned how to merge creativity with calling. I’ve developed products that nourish the body while speaking to the soul—infused with natural ingredients, prayer, and prophetic meaning. From soaps to lotions to tinctures, every creation is an extension of the vision God placed inside of me.

But my journey doesn’t stop at products.

I am also a voice.

Through my podcast, Mantled for the Marketplace, I step into conversations that challenge, equip, and awaken others who feel the same pull I once felt—the desire to live a life aligned with purpose and following the Holy Spirit’s voice every step of the way. I speak to those who know they are called but are still learning how to walk it out. I share what I’ve learned about faith, identity, discipline, and stepping boldly into what God has assigned.

I’ve come to understand that being “mantled” isn’t about perfection—it’s about obedience.

There have been moments of doubt. Moments where the weight of building, creating, and showing up felt heavy. But every time, I’ve been reminded: I am not doing this alone. God is my source, my strategy, and my strength.

I’ve also learned the importance of stewardship—of my health, my time, and my mind. Taking care of my body, building discipline in my daily life, and making intentional choices have all been part of the transformation. This journey has shaped me from the inside out.

Today, I stand as a builder, a creator, and a woman of faith who refuses to shrink back.

I am not finished.

There is more to build. More to release. More to step into.

My story is still being written—but one thing I know for sure is this:

I was created to be salt.
To preserve. To bring flavor. To shift atmospheres.
And to shine light wherever I go.

AND….Your journey matters—more than you may even realize.

There is power in your testimony. What you’ve walked through, what you’ve overcome, and what God is doing in your life right now could be the very thing that encourages someone else to keep going. Your voice has value here.

What has God brought you through—and what led you to step into your purpose?

Or maybe you’re still in the middle of the process…

What is stirring in your heart right now that you feel God calling you toward?

Whether your story feels big or small, finished or still unfolding—it matters.

I would truly love to hear from you. I would LOVE to hear your story. Your testimony matters. I’m an encourager and love to hear powerful testimonies of hope and redemption. I would love for you to comment or send me a message. We can celebrate and pray together for more of what God has for us….there is no end to His great supply and abundance He has for His children. It would be an honor to stand with you, celebrate what God is doing, and grow together as a community!

Blessings!
