WHY?

I promised to tell you in my last article why I stopped writing and here you have it – my season changed!

It’s as simple as that! I came into a season where everything about me was required to deliver excellent grade results. My existing knowledge, my service, my work- ethic, my gifts, my writing, my podcast, my lifestyle, everything changed because I underwent a career shift. Not only a career shift but a pivot season even in my vision and mandate.

I once shared about service on the website, and so the last 3 years of my life demanded service from me at a level I didn’t know existed.

It’s been 3 years since I last wrote, 3 years of excruciating growth, pouring into and serving another’s vision. Fast forward to today, I still serve because in my formation is always a servant’s heart. However, I have also come into leadership and that in itself is a new writing series I want to delve into (ain’t no ChatGPT here baby) on what I have experienced as a young and emerging leader. So, in all of these, there has been little or no room to sit behind a PC and churn from my heart, as my heart had already been poured out serving institutions and visions.

I am guessing that the most important question you would have for me now is ‘How did I come back?’ ‘How am I writing again?’ To answer this, I’d vulnerably share that earlier in the year 2024, after listening to my soul’s cry for a reset and reprieve from the previous year, I unplugged from life as usual, and went on a healing and detox journey in the first 2 months of the year. I can tell you for free that it’s the best decision I have made since August 2021! The six-week detox journey birthed the revival of tolulopeinspire.com and it is why I am writing to you my dear reader, today.

It is important to note that even as my soul yearned for rest, reprieve and healing, I also needed wisdom to navigate my new season, and humility of heart to be taught and coached. Hence, during my detox season, I actively signed up to be coached by my teacher and coach again – DDK, and now, I am bouncing back on the scene with my superpower!

Thank you for reading and this is my bounce-back story. I hope it inspires you to pause, reflect, and restart as often as you need to.
