About ME

---

This website was born from a place of pain. I’ve had to overcome—and to some extent, I’m still overcoming—the deep ache of feeling unseen.

I grew up as a middle child and often felt misunderstood. 

I tried to fit in everywhere, making friends with whoever was around, only to discover I still stood out like a square peg in a round hole. I was involved in dance, singing, drill team, and church plays, but deep down, I longed to be affirmed by people I considered important.

Still, there always seemed to be someone more talented, more noticed, more celebrated. That pain followed me into adulthood. 

I found myself in relationships and friendships that didn’t return the affirmation or acceptance I desperately needed. I couldn’t understand why no one ever truly “saw” me. Why couldn’t I just find my tribe—the people who would love me for me, not just for what I could do?

It wasn’t until my 30s that I truly began to discover who I was—by discovering Jesus.

His constant reassurance of His love through His Word and His presence became my anchor. One day, in the middle of crying out to God, 

I thought to myself, “I can’t be the only one who feels this kind of pain.” 

I realized there must be others suffering silently too.

That’s when the Lord brought the words to my heart: 

“You Are Loved, Leah!™"

Leah, the overlooked and unloved wife of Jacob, was never the first choice. The Bible says the Lord saw that Leah was unloved and gave her sons. With each child, she hoped Jacob would finally notice her. But it wasn’t until she encountered the living God—the One who truly saw and knew her—that everything changed.

It was from the lineage of Leah, through her final son Judah, God chose to usher in the Messiah-Jesus. God honored her in a way that would echo for all eternity.

And that’s the heart of this space.

"You Are Loved, Leah!™" is created for the women who have felt invisible, unchosen, or not enough. You are not forgotten, but fully known by your Creator and through YOU, he will do great works.
