So I'm Vonda Bowens, and I am going to be completely transparent with you.

I'm a CPA, and my money used to be "funny". You know, the person who's supposed to have their financial life together? Well, mine was completely falling apart.

I had credit cards maxed out, was late on utility bills, and honestly felt like such a fraud every single day. I used to sit across from clients, helping them organize their finances, while my own bank account was screaming at me.

I finally mustered up the strength to see this financial advisor. Then this financial advisor looks at my mess of paperwork and bank statements and goes, "Girl, this is a MESS." Not gonna lie, I wanted to disappear. But something about that moment just clicked. Like, okay, Vonda, enough is enough.

I started praying about it - a lot. Because clearly my spreadsheet skills weren't cutting it. That's when things got interesting. God started showing me that money isn't just about math and budgets. It's about Kingdom principles, and when you align your finances with how He designed things to work, stuff actually starts working.

I'm not saying that I've arrived, but I've left.

I'm still learning, still growing, still making mistakes sometimes. I resolved within myself that I am going to be on this journey until the day I transition to heaven. But I've gone from that constant financial panic to actually having some peace about money. And let me tell you, that peace is everything.

Now I get to invite other Christians who are building businesses or working on their digital marketing dreams, but feel stuck because their cash flow is either feast or famine.

You know what I'm talking about.

One month you're celebrating, the next you're stressed about making payroll or paying your insurance?

I get it. The frustration is so real.

But the good news is you don't have to choose between following God's calling for your life and having money in the bank. There's actually a way to do both, and it doesn't require you to become someone you're not.

Let's take this journey together.

Because your dreams matter, and money shouldn't be the thing that stops you from living them out.
