My daughter lost her tooth yesterday.

Except she didn’t even tell me right away. It came out in the last ten minutes of my end of day meeting and in all the excitement of it finally happening — this tooth that had been loose forever — she couldn’t remember where she put it. Ten minutes. That’s all the time that had passed. And it was already gone.

So me, her, and Gigi had to slow her all the way down and retrace her steps. Minute by minute. Room by room. Back to the last place she remembered having contact with it.

We eventually narrowed it down to the front desk area. My colleague looked at something on the rug and said “I think that’s the tooth right there.” I wasn’t sure. I didn’t want to get my hopes up again. She said “no, it is.” My daughter went to pick it up, bumped it, and it slid under the desk. She bent down and picked it up off the floor.

It was the tooth. We put it in a ziplock bag and everything was right with the world again.

But I haven’t been able to stop thinking about my own hesitation in that moment.

Because I had so much hope going into that search. And somewhere in the middle of looking and not finding, that hope got quiet. So even when my colleague was pointing right at it I didn’t want to check. I didn’t want to be wrong again. I had already half given up without even trying.

That convicted me.

Because how many times has God already narrowed the search? Already brought me back to the last point of contact? Already placed the answer right in front of me?

And I’m still standing there talking myself out of reaching for it. Not because it isn’t there. Because hope got quiet somewhere in the middle of the looking.

There’s something else I can’t stop thinking about.

The tooth wasn’t lost because of tragedy. It wasn’t lost because of carelessness. It was lost because of excitement. She had been waiting so long for that tooth to come out. When it finally did she got swept up in the moment and lost track of where she put it.

How many times have I done the same thing? God answers a prayer, opens a door, starts a new season — and in my excitement I stop paying attention. Not because I’m running from Him. Just because I got caught up in everything happening around me.

And then I look up and I’ve lost the thread.

Here’s what I keep coming back to though.

It took about ten minutes for her to lose track of that tooth.

It took about ten minutes to find it.

Ten minutes of excitement. Ten minutes of retracing.

Sometimes I think restoration has to be harder than drifting. That finding my way back has to take longer than getting lost. But maybe not. Maybe the distance between me and the thing I’ve lost isn’t nearly as far as I’ve imagined.

Maybe I don’t need a brand new map.

Maybe I just need to go back to the last point of contact.

The last thing God said. The last instruction I was sure about. The last thing I knew was true. The last place I remember having clarity.

That’s where the search begins.

And that’s usually where the thing is still waiting…

That’s not a humble brag. That’s the actual truth of my eight years at my nonprofit — a free STEM organization serving youth on Chicago’s West and South Sides that I walked into as an AmeriCorps volunteer and just haven’t left yet.

Every role after that first one? I created it. The job title. The job description. The scope. The rationale for why it needed to exist. All of it. It started with a project management role I built around a need I saw that nobody had named yet. Then came the partnerships work. Then the ecosystem work. Then what I do now — Director of Brand Strategy & Marketing Communications — a role that didn’t exist before I made the case for it.

I have been building the box while simultaneously climbing into it.

For a long time, I didn’t know what to do with that.

There’s a version of this story where I call myself resourceful. Scrappy. Say that nonprofit life just breeds this kind of improvisation.

But that’s not quite it.

The real version is this: God kept showing me work that needed to be done that no one else was doing. And I kept saying yes. And somewhere in the saying yes — in the doing of it — I became someone I didn’t expect to become.

I led a citywide community research initiative in partnership with Northwestern University. I built a brand from scratch — the voice, the visual identity, the infrastructure — with no formal design training. I walked into my first conference session as a speaker not because someone tapped me, but because I had something to say and the work to back it up.

He had the blueprint. He just needed someone willing to build.

That’s what I was. Willing.

The question I’ve been sitting with lately isn’t about metrics or job titles or what’s next.

It’s this: Do I actually believe I belong in the room I helped build?

Because here’s what happens when you create your own lane — you don’t always have the receipts other people recognize. You don’t have the credential that matches the title. You don’t have a predecessor to point to and say I did what they did, but better.

You just have the work. And the faith. And the audacity to keep showing up to something that keeps asking more of you than you thought you had.

Some days that feels like enough.

Some days it doesn’t.

And I want to be honest about something — because I think this is the part most people leave out.

I am not the Michael Jordan of my field. I didn’t go to school for marketing communications. I am still learning. Still growing. Still figuring it out day by day, strategy by strategy. I don’t always know what I’m doing next. I don’t always trust that the thing I choose to put out into the world is going to land.

And there was a literal person standing between me and this role. Someone who, for reasons that were never really about me, kept the promotion from happening. For a long time I watched that door stay closed and wondered if I was wrong about where I was supposed to be.

And then God moved them.

And here I am. A director. Of a role I helped invent. In an organization I’ve given eight years of my life to.

That’s not my résumé talking. That’s the favor of the Lord — and I refuse to explain it away or be too polished to say it plainly. When you walk in step with God, He opens rooms that your qualifications alone wouldn’t get you into. He moves people. He shifts timelines. He makes a way that you could not have engineered on your own.

So even on the days I don’t believe in myself — and those days are real — I’m okay. Because it was never just me in this room. And the evidence of that is standing right in front of me every time I show up to do this work.

What God did in this season — and I won’t apologize for saying it that way — is redirect me from what wasn’t working toward what was. Over and over. Without a map. Just a next step.

That’s what obedience actually looks like in real life. Not a ten-year plan. Not a fully funded vision board. Just: do the next right thing and trust that the blueprint is being drawn as you walk it out.

He sees what you can’t see yet. That’s the whole thing.

I’ve been calling this my Slingshot Season.

Think about David and the slingshot — how God used something small, something simple, to take down something that looked impossible. But before the launch, there’s the pull. The tension. The moment where it feels like you’re going backward, not forward.

That’s the season a lot of us are in right now.

Maybe you’re dealing with your own Goliath. Maybe it’s not even a battle — it’s more like the in-between. The version of you that doesn’t quite fit the life you’re in anymore, but you haven’t fully stepped into who God is making you to be either. The old isn’t gone. The new isn’t fully here. And everything feels a little uncomfortable and a little like you’re losing ground.

I’m literally moving soon. Into a place that feels like a step backward on paper. White refrigerator and all. And God had to sit me down and remind me: the further back the slingshot pulls, the further out you launch.

The discomfort is the preparation. The pull is the promise.

A lot of us are in this right now — especially those of us who know we’ve been called to something greater and are having to trust God with the gap between where we are and where He’s taking us. It’s uncomfortable. It’s supposed to be. But it’s not the end of the story.

I’m building in public this season — the work, the faith, the becoming — right here on Substack.

If you’re in your Slingshot Season too, I want you to know you’re not alone in the pull.

And if you’re in the Chicago area and want to be in community with other women navigating this kind of season in person — I’m hosting a gathering through Kingdom Commons. Details below. Come exhale with us.

This is a call to stop numbing out and start noticing where God is still moving, even in the middle of the mess.

Key Scriptures:

• Genesis 32:22–32 — Jacob wrestles with God.

• Romans 7:15–25 — Paul’s tension between flesh and spirit.

• Psalm 13 — “How long, O Lord?”

• Matthew 11:28 — “Come to me, all you who are weary…”

Takeaways:

• Your anger and exhaustion are not sins — they’re signals.

• Wrestling with God is still being with God.

• Grace can meet you even when discipline slips.

• Rest is not a reward; it’s a requirement.

Listen if you’re:

• Running on fumes and calling it faith.

• Feeling like you’ve lost your rhythm with God.

• Trying to reconcile being spiritual and human at the same time.

Tagline for promotion: “Don’t hit snooze on your spirit — wake up before the world does.”

Share it with a friend.

Allow God to redirect you. You're still gonna get there.

A man's heart deviseth his way: But the LORD directeth his steps.- Provebs 16:9

This episode is for the one who’s been moving, creating, executing… but hasn’t been still. The one who’s been trying to steward the vision, but forgot that intimacy comes before impact. You may not be lost — just loud. Not faithless — just overstimulated.

And in the middle of all the chaos, headlines, and hustle, this is your gentle — yet firm — reminder: Don’t build without the whisper. Don’t market what you haven’t prayed through. Don’t confuse momentum with anointing. Don’t hit play before you get still.

📖 Scriptures Referenced / Reflected On:

• 1 Kings 19:11–13 (The Whisper)“After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper…”

• Luke 10:38–42 (Martha vs. Mary)“Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed… Mary has chosen what is better.”

• John 15:5 (Abiding in the Vine)“Apart from Me, you can do nothing.”

• Isaiah 26:3 (Perfect Peace)“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.”

• Romans 12:2 (Transformed, not just informed)“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

• Proverbs 3:5–6 (Direction from God)“Trust in the Lord with all your heart… in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Resources / Support Mentioned:

• Consecration over Consumption: If you’re feeling spiritually dizzy, consider what God may be inviting you to give up temporarily to make room for His voice. Fasting isn’t always about food. Sometimes it’s attention. Sometimes it’s distraction.

• Reflection Prompt:

  • What have I been building that I haven’t surrendered?

  • What noise is keeping me from hearing the whisper?

  • Am I letting culture disciple me more than Christ?

• Your “Yes” is enough: Whether you're behind schedule, burned out, or battling perfectionism—God’s not waiting on a polished performance. He’s waiting on your weary, real, surrendered yes.

🎧 Listen If You’ve Been…

• Struggling to focus in a world of alerts, texts, and timelines

• Trying to carry something God told you to steward

• Caught between your brand and your Bible

• Feeling the spiritual shift but don’t know what to do with it

She opens up about personal resistance, delays, and the weight of stewarding a mantle while still figuring things out in real time. Through a raw and timely word, Cachetta reintroduces a message she's carried for over a year: the 5-Minute Demo — a short, sacred act of obedience that demonstrates your devotion, even when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unqualified.

• The difference between a demo and a devo

• How to stop spiraling and start stewarding

• A faith check and affirmation to help you start small

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much…”

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin…”

• Colossians 3:23 (ESV)

✨ Key Quote from Cachetta Chére:

“A 5-minute demo says: God, I don’t need a crowd. I just need to prove I’m still in it with You.”

🙌🏽 Your 5-Minute Demo Challenge:

The audio isn’t the best (bless it), but the message? Clear. Do what God told you to do. Not what makes sense to people. Not what looks polished.

It’s your life. Your story. Consult with God and keep it moving. Except when I say DON’T HIT SNOOZE — because somebody is waiting on you to do the thing… scared and all. So move.

I’m talking about what happens when you let misaligned moments, good intentions, and endless scrolling steal your clarity, your time, and your obedience. This is for the one who’s behind, tired of pretending, and ready to stop hitting snooze on the call to show up different.

Real time. Real raw. Real reset.

→ Plus: 3 practical ways to reset with grace, not guilt.

📝 Show Notes (Long Form – for your website/email):

Topics: Obedience, distraction, spiritual discipline, and the messy middle

Scriptures Rooted In:

• Galatians 5:22–23 – “The fruit of the Spirit is… self-control.”

• Ephesians 5:15–17 – “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.”

• Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything…”

• Proverbs 4:25–27 – “Let your eyes look straight ahead…”

• Hebrews 12:11 – “No discipline seems pleasant at the time… but it produces a harvest…”

In This Episode:

• The moment I realized I traded momentum for misalignment

• How distractions dress up like “rest” but rob us of peace

• What scrolling, aimless dating, and spiritual tiredness really cost

• Why purpose doesn't wait for us to feel ready — and what to do when you're not

• The hard truth: you’re not “too busy,” you’re just giving time away

💡 3 Ways to Reset When You’ve Fumbled:

1. The Redirect Rule

If you can’t go back and fix it, go forward and frame it. Pivot with purpose. Be honest, not perfect.

2. Grace-Driven Replanning

Rebuild your to-do list with what’s mission critical, not what’s performative.

3. Micro-Obedience

You don’t need a whole comeback arc. Just do one aligned thing today — and keep going.

In this heart-to-heart, Cachetta Chéré shares a personal reflection on how performance pressure and perfectionism almost kept this very episode from being recorded. From the tears Tyra Banks brought when she opened an ice cream shop for her mom, to the legacy we’re all being called to build despite our mess, this episode reminds you: Obedience > appearance.

You don’t need a fresh face to show up. You don’t need a clean room to be impactful. You don’t need a viral moment to be obedient.

Whether you’re building a business, healing your inner child, or simply trying not to quit—this episode is for you.

Mentioned in this episode:

• Tyra Banks & her ice cream shop in Australia

• Mother wounds, financial trauma, and still choosing to build

• How to create legacy while you’re still healing

• The lie that image = impact

• Why your presence is still powerful, even when it doesn’t feel polished

Scriptures to sit with:

• Zechariah 4:10 ("Do not despise these small beginnings...")

• 2 Corinthians 12:9 ("My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.")

• 1 Samuel 16:7 ("People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.")

• Ecclesiastes 11:4 ("If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.")

If this episode blessed you, share it with someone who needs a reminder that they don’t have to look the part to play the part.

In this raw welcome-back episode, I’m sharing the truth about what it feels like to be tired in your soul... not from lack of sleep, but from carrying versions of yourself God never asked you to keep. If you’ve ever been stuck between “I’m called” and “I’m scared,” or if you’ve mistaken resistance for rest — this one is for you.

We’re talking:

• spiritual fatigue and silent burnout

• perfectionism disguised as preparation

• the guilt of peace after a lifetime of struggle

• and how God doesn’t need you to be perfect — just positioned.

📖 Scripture References:

• Isaiah 43:19 (MSG) — “Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?”

• Matthew 6:33–34 — “Seek first the Kingdom…”

• Romans 12:2 — “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

🙏🏾 Prayer Highlight:

“Father, make us brave enough to start again, sober enough to steward well, and grateful enough to give you glory — even in the waiting.”

✨ This episode is for the woman who:

• has been refining and dreaming but afraid to start

• feels behind but deeply called

• is done with hustle culture, and ready to move with Heaven’s pace

🎧 Tune in and settle into your soft launch era. Planners, podcasts, and purpose. We’re not chasing growth. We’re chasing God.

I open up about a moment I got ahead of God — and how He lovingly pulled me back to realign. We’re talking storyboarding with God, learning to rest in His timing, and why that inner itch to pivot may be a sign to sit still instead of sprint forward.

If you’ve been in a season of almost, not yet, or wait right here, this one is for you.

🔑 In This Episode:

• The moment I knew I was out of alignment

• Why "moving by faith" isn’t the same as moving impulsively

• What to do when you're tempted to pivot prematurely

• How God used a quiet correction to protect my next move

• The power of obedience over activity

• What storyboarding with God looks like

• The subtle danger of good ideas vs. God instructions

• Why stillness is strategy

📖 Scriptures Mentioned:

• “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

• “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14

• “Write the vision and make it plain… though it tarry, wait for it.” — Habakkuk 2:2-3

• “But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31

• “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” — 1 Samuel 15:22

• “There is a time for everything...” — Ecclesiastes 3:1

📝 Take This With You:

If God told you to pause, it’s not punishment — it’s preparation. Obedience now sets the foundation for overflow later. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is... be still.

In this episode, I open up about a close call on the road that reminded me just how much God still protects, even when we're distracted, tired, or just… not all the way there. What started as a moment of exhaustion while trying to connect with my daughter turned into a divine reminder that we’re not out here alone.

I also reflect on Resurrection Sunday, the tension between celebration and commercialization, and how sometimes the sting of consumerism can cloud the sacred. But even in that—God is still speaking.

Then, I take you behind the scenes of a recent YouTube Creator Collective event I was invited to. From spilled drinks to nerves and feeling like the underdog in a room full of “somebodies,” I walked in unsure… but walked out believing I belong. Because the truth is: when God sends you, the numbers don’t matter—the calling does.

And the scripture that pulled it all together for me this week?

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” – Isaiah 6:8

This one’s for anyone feeling off, out of place, or disconnected from their assignments. You’re not done. You’re being prepared.

God’s still calling. Will you answer?

📖 Scriptural Highlights:

• Isaiah 6:8 – “Here am I. Send me.”

• John 11:25 – “I am the resurrection and the life...” (resurrection reflection context)

• Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” (implied trust during the chaos)

🔑 Key Topics:

• Driving while distracted and divine protection

• Real-time grace + close-call testimony

• Resurrection Sunday vs. Easter consumerism

• Showing up unprepared and still being enough

• Creator event reflections & imposter syndrome

• Saying “yes” to God even when you feel behind

• Encouragement to prioritize purpose again

🙏🏾 Takeaway Statement:

God’s preparation in your smaller assignments will be the saving of you in your bigger assessments. You’re not behind—you’re being built.

What starts as a conversation about unmet expectations turns into a deeper look at divine protection, redirection, and the discomfort of delay. When God says “not yet,” it’s not always about punishment—it’s often preparation.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt frustrated with where they are, questioned if they’ve missed it, or wondered why God seems to be blessing everyone else but them.

It’s a reminder: just because it’s delayed doesn’t mean it’s denied. Don’t rush the process—there’s purpose in the pause.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Redirection is often protection—God blocks what you can’t see.

• Delay doesn’t mean denial. It might mean development.

• Sometimes God closes doors that you think make sense to open—because His view is bigger.

• Impatience can lead to idols. Surrender leads to peace.

• You are not behind. You’re being positioned.

📖 Scripture References:

• Isaiah 55:8-9 — “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways…” → God’s strategy won’t always feel logical. Trust Him anyway.

• Jeremiah 29:11 — “I know the plans I have for you…” → Even in the pause, the plan is good.

🎧 Thanks for tuning in to Don’t Hit Snooze. Keep waiting well. Keep trusting deep. And remember: what God starts, He finishes—on time, every time.

It’s not about the mic—it’s about the muzzle the enemy tries to place over our mouths through fear, insecurity, and imposter syndrome.

By the power of the Holy Spirit, you can break free. You can speak boldly. You can obey God—even when you’re scared.

This episode is a reminder that your voice is needed, and your obedience matters. Confidence doesn’t always come first—obedience does.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Obedience often comes before confidence.

• Fear is not from God—and it doesn’t get to dictate your calling.

• Your testimony has power to break strongholds—for you and for others.

• If you wait until you feel ready, you may never move.
