A Journey of Healing, Faith, and Reclamation
Documenting our path through cancer, Christianity, and family healing—this is where The Rising Sovereign Podcast begins
At the end of 2024, my world quietly shifted. I was diagnosed with melanoma, and in an instant, everything changed—not just for me as a woman, but as a homeschooling mother, a wife, and someone deeply rooted in holistic living. It was a defining moment: one that invited me deeper into my body, my spirit, and my truth.
That diagnosis didn’t feel like an ending—it felt like a summons. A sacred invitation to come home to my body, my spirit, and my truth.
This Substack marks the beginning of a deeply personal two-week journey. A trip that weaves together alternative cancer therapies, baptism, and even a memorial. These aren’t just stops on a map. They’re milestones—spiritual turning points—in what has become our family’s story of reclamation, healing, and faith.
Why We’re Taking This Healing Journey
I knew I had time to respond to the diagnosis—not react. That space allowed for prayer, discernment, and clarity.
After several months of testing and working with holistic health clinics, I was cleared—but I wanted to be proactive in continuing my care. One piece still missing was a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) with someone grounded in both women’s health and Christian values.
That led me to Dr. Leland Stillman in Naples, Florida. His approach blends quantum biology, integrative research, and a biblical worldview. His work felt aligned—like divine timing. So I chose to place my continued care in his hands.
From there, we’ll head to the Just Hope Center in Thousand Oaks, California. It’s where I began frequency healing work last fall—an intuitive, energy-based approach guided by Justin, who will also baptize us. That moment—a long-awaited baptism—feels like the center of this entire journey.
We’ll also return to Tijuana for biological dental care at American Biodental, following my decision to remove root canals after learning about their potential link to cancer. This final step is about closing the loop—addressing root causes, energetically and physically.
Healing Through Cancer While Homeschooling
I’ve never spoken publicly about what it’s like to walk through a cancer diagnosis while homeschooling full-time and mothering children. It’s beyond words. Like navigating a storm while steering the ship and keeping everyone else dry.
Cancer already lives in my DNA—my father and my niece both died from it. That grief sits in my cells. But I keep going.
Because I have children depending on me.
Because I’ve met grounded, wise people who walk this path beside me.
Because my husband carries me with fierce tenderness and courage.
Because I’ve found Jesus.
And because if I can map this road with clarity and faith, maybe someone else will find their way too.
Baptism and Becoming: A Christian Reclamation
Baptism, for me, is about stepping fully into trust and faith. It’s not a checkmark or a ritual—it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter.
This isn’t just about healing my body. It’s about reclaiming my soul from the illusions I used to live in. While New Age paths promise empowerment, I’ve learned firsthand how they often distort the source of true power. Through Christianity, I’ve found grounding, truth, and peace I didn’t know was possible.
Our baptism is the spiritual center of this journey. A symbolic and literal immersion into something greater than ourselves.
Grief, Life, and the Moment We’re In
At the end of this trip, we’ll attend a memorial for one of my husband’s childhood friends.
Grief has a way of collapsing time. It makes everything sharper—more sacred.
It reminds me that all we truly have is this moment.
The next breath.
The next choice.
How will we show up?
Where will we root our strength?
How do we answer the call we feel inside us?
These questions are at the core of our lives right now—and they’re what we’ll be exploring as our journey of life continues.
