Breaking Free From Fear
Day 1 – Breaking Free From Fear

Scripture: Isaiah 41:10 (NLT) — “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”

Sis, fear is something every one of us has wrestled with. Some of us grew up in fear. Some of us made decisions out of fear. Some of us stayed in situations we knew were breaking us because fear whispered, “You can’t do better.” Fear has a way of keeping you bound—bound to silence, bound to shame, bound to cycles you’re desperate to break.
But I came to tell you this: fear is not your portion. It is not who you are, and it is not from God. Fear is a spirit, an assignment sent by the enemy to paralyze your purpose. That’s why the Word says God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. Which means when fear shows up, you already carry the authority to shut it down.

I know what it feels like to hesitate when God says move. To hear His voice but let the “what ifs” drown Him out. To wonder if you’ll fail again, if you’re enough, or if God really chose you. But listen to me—fear will always whisper, but it doesn’t get the last word. God does. And His Word says He will strengthen you, help you, and hold you up with His victorious right hand.

Sis, this is your moment. No more bowing to fear. No more shrinking back. No more rehearsing the lies the enemy planted in your mind. Today, I challenge you: write down one fear that has stopped you from moving forward. Rip that paper up as a prophetic act, and declare out loud, “God has not given me a spirit of fear!”
Fear may knock on your door, but you don’t have to let it in. Stand firm, because the same God who delivered you yesterday is still the God who’s holding you today.

Declaration: I will not live in fear another day. I reject its lies. I stand in God’s power, love, and sound mind—and I will walk in boldness from this day forward.

From Chains to Change — How God Redeemed My Life

Hey, Resilient Woman — Your Healing Starts Here

My name is Dashonia Marie, and I am living proof that God can take a shattered life and turn it into a story of strength, purpose, and redemption. I’ve walked through the fire — addiction, trauma, loss, and pain that tried to silence my purpose — but God’s grace met me in the ashes and taught me how to rise.

I know what it feels like to be broken, to question your worth, and to wonder if freedom is even possible. But I also know what it means to encounter the healing power of God — the kind that restores what was stolen, rewrites your identity, and breathes new life into weary hearts.

Through Encouraging Her Resilience, I’ve made it my mission to walk beside women like you — women who are ready to break cycles, renew their minds, and rediscover the woman God created them to be. This is not about perfection; it’s about progress. It’s about learning that your past does not define you — God’s promise does.

As a Certified Addiction Counselor and Faith-Based Recovery Coach, I don’t just offer sessions; I offer safe spaces — places where healing is nurtured, faith is strengthened, and transformation begins from the inside out.

I believe every woman has a comeback story waiting to be written — and I’m here to help you write yours. Because if God could redeem my life, He can surely restore yours. 

Healing is possible. Hope is real. Freedom is yours — and it starts with saying yes.

With love and grace,

Dashonia Marie
