I never imagined I would be the kind of person who listens to The Laws of Prosperity, The Secret, or Bob Proctor, let alone read Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. But here I am!
Recently, I was invited to join a Facebook group called She Evolved Collective, a community of women transforming their lives through these teachings. These women are shifting their mindsets, changing their habits, creating financial abundance, and—most remarkably—lifting each other up with kindness. Imagine that!
The two incredible women who founded this group and the program I joined are nothing short of genuine, loving, and inspiring. They carefully select who enters this space, ensuring the integrity of the group and protecting the women within it. Some of us are deeply vulnerable, and having a safe, supportive environment is essential to becoming who we were meant to be. It’s astonishing how many of us have been conditioned to follow society’s expectations, even when we feel deep inside that we were created for more.
At first, I hesitated. As a Christian, I believed this kind of teaching might conflict with Scripture. But as I delved deeper, I realized that much of it aligns with biblical principles. The Bible speaks often of prosperity—not as something to be feared or shunned, but as a tool for blessing others. After all, how can we help those in need if we’re struggling ourselves? How can we share God’s word effectively if we’re constantly stressed, broke, and unhappy? We can’t.
This realization hit hard when I took a step back and examined my own life. Work had slowed down, and I hadn’t earned an income in four months. My home was filled with stress, my children were unwell, and some of my grandchildren I didn’t even see. I had gone from being a strong, confident force in my family and career to a worried, uncertain version of myself. And why? Because I let someone else’s negativity consume me.
My boss had made me feel unworthy, undervalued, and even replaceable. He told me I was “unviable” simply because I was the highest earner in the company and had to be paid accordingly. Never mind that I have over two decades of experience and a proven track record. His words chipped away at my confidence, and I let them. I allowed negativity to seep into every corner of my life, lowering my energy, my outlook, and ultimately, my reality.
But this program—and the guidance of these mentors—is teaching me that I don’t have to accept that narrative. I have the power to shift my perspective, to control how I react, and to choose how long I stay in a place of struggle. Everything begins with my mindset. By focusing on the positive and releasing what I can’t control, I can reclaim my strength and create a life filled with abundance, joy, and purpose.
In just a few short weeks of this program, I’ve experienced real growth. I’ve had good days and great days—but also difficult ones. Life happens, and challenges will always come, but I’m learning not to dwell in negativity. Instead, I acknowledge it, take the lesson, and move forward.
At 58, these lessons aren’t always easy, but I refuse to believe I’m too old to learn or that it’s too late to build the life I’ve always dreamed of. Success takes effort, and I’m willing to put in the work—after all, even the Bible reminds us that idle hands produce nothing. With faith, perseverance, and the right mindset, I know I can create something truly meaningful.
