About Me

Hi, I’m Shawnda

At With God, Her Story, our mission is to empower women to embrace their God-given purpose and walk confidently in faith, healing, and growth. Through inspiring blog posts, transformative podcasts, and uplifting resources, we strive to provide practical tools and spiritual encouragement to help women navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace.
I am a clinical psychotherapist, aspiring writer, and lover of Christ—the most transformative role I’ve had to embrace is this: I am enough and deserve love. I remind myself of that often, and I hope that you’ll be reminded of that truth through every prompt, prayer, and post you find here. You are worthy, seen, and deeply loved—just as you are. We aim to create a sacred space where women can connect with God, discover their unique stories, and find hope through His Word. Whether through thought-provoking reflections, powerful affirmations, or heartfelt devotionals, everything we share is designed to inspire change and nurture a closer relationship with God.
My passion is rooted in helping women realize the beauty of their stories as part of God’s greater plan. With a heart for ministry and a desire to see others thrive, I am dedicated to sharing faith-filled insights that encourage personal growth, spiritual transformation, and unwavering trust in the Lord.
Here, your faith journey becomes a testimony of His love, grace, and power. Let’s grow together as we embrace the story God is writing in your life.

Journaling with God has been life-changing for me. I’ve been journaling since high school—everything from freestyle ramblings to bullet journaling—but it was reflective journaling with prompts that helped me truly hear God, uncover who I am, and one of the reasons I created the Self-Love Journal Journey Newsletter. I pray that through these tools and stories, you’re inspired to make space for your conversations with God, too.

Why This Newsletter Was Born

I created the Self-Love Journal Journey because I know what it feels like to silently question your worth, carry wounds no one sees, and struggle to show up for yourself while showing up for everyone else.

This space was born out of both personal healing and professional experience—watching powerful breakthroughs happen when women finally paused long enough to listen to their hearts, reflect honestly, and invite God into the process.

I’ve seen journaling transform lives—not because it solves everything overnight, but because it creates space to slow down, feel deeply, pray boldly, and speak truth over the lies that try to define us.

In this newsletter, I teach techniques beyond “dear diary.” You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify emotional blocks
  • Use journaling as a form of prayer and self-reflection
  • Replace guilt, fear, and self-doubt with confidence and God’s truth
  • Develop soul-nourishing habits that support your spiritual and emotional growth

Each weekly message is a loving reminder that you are still growing, worthy, and never too far from a breakthrough. Whether rebuilding after brokenness, learning to set boundaries, or just trying to be more kind to yourself, you’re not alone here.

This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a community. A safe place to land and a steady source of encouragement as you become the woman God created you to be.

Join us—there’s room for you here.
