LIVE. LOVE. RISE.

Hi, I'm Shandi!
Dear Sisters,
There’s a moment in every woman’s life when she’s called to rise—to leave behind the pain, the doubt, and the fear, and step fully into the light of her own truth. For me, that moment came when I realized I had spent too long living in the shadows—a prison even, dimming my light to fit into a world that was never meant to define me. And to be honest held me captive in a constant betrayal of myself, of my heart.
The song “Stand in the Light” became more than just music to me—it became a guide, a reminder that I hold the power to rewrite my story. Every lyric felt like a whisper from my soul, urging me to rise, to fight, to heal. It reminded me that I didn’t need a cape or a crown to be strong. My strength was already within me—in my scars, my resilience, and my capacity to love and to be loved. First truly loving myself and healing the wounds that kept me in prison.
“Stand in the light, let the world see,
The fire inside, who you’re meant to be.”
These words carried me through my darkest days, and they continue to inspire me. They taught me that becoming my own version of Wonder Woman isn’t about perfection; it’s about embracing my imperfections, owning my story, and walking boldly in the direction of my dreams.
To every woman reading this: You have that same fire inside you. It’s been there all along, waiting for you to uncover it. Your journey may not look like mine, and that’s okay. The path to becoming your own Wonder Woman is as unique as you are. But one thing is universal—your light, your truth, and your love are powerful enough to change everything.
Let this song be a reminder that you don’t need to wait for anyone to save you. You are the hero of your story. So rise, stand tall, and step into the light. You are worthy, you are strong, and you are unstoppable.
With love and strength,
Shandi

You Are The Light

The Journey of Healing and Standing in Your Truth and Light
The First Step: A Spark Inside Begins to Rise
“A spark inside begins to rise,
A flame of hope that never dies.”
Healing often starts in the quiet moments when you decide to believe in something greater: a better future, a truer self, or the whisper of God’s plan for your life. This is the spark—the realization that you are worthy of more.
• Milestone: Acknowledging your pain and choosing to move forward.
• Action: Begin a practice of gratitude or journaling, reflecting on small victories and signs of hope.
The Second Step: Through the Storm, Through the Fight
“Through the storm, through the fight,
She stands in her own light.”
Healing is not without its challenges. There will be storms of self-doubt, moments when the past whispers louder than your dreams. But this is where resilience is built—when you stand tall, even if you tremble, stumble and fall.
• Milestone: Learning to say “no” to what no longer serves you and “yes” to your growth.
• Action: Set boundaries with toxic relationships or habits that dim your light.
The Third Step: Beauty Blooms from Scars and Pain
“Her beauty blooms from scars and pain,
Each battle fought, each drop of rain.”
Your scars are not a sign of weakness but proof of your strength. Each challenge you’ve faced has shaped you into a woman of depth, compassion, and courage. The world needs this version of you—the one who has walked through fire and emerged radiant.
• Milestone: Embracing your past as part of your story, not a definition of your worth.
• Action: Practice self-compassion. Look in the mirror and speak words of love and forgiveness to yourself.
The Fourth Step: A Voice, a Song, a Rising Tide
“Her voice a song, a steady guide,
A river strong, a rising tide.”
As you heal, your voice will strengthen. You’ll realize that your story isn’t just for you—it’s a light for others who walk similar paths. When you stand in your truth, you give permission for others to do the same.
• Milestone: Sharing your story or wisdom to uplift others.
• Action: Join a community of like-minded women or mentor someone who needs guidance.
The Fifth Step: From Ashes, Love is Reborn
“Lift the broken, heal the torn,
From ashes, love is reborn.”
True healing brings you back to love—not just romantic love, but love for yourself, your life, and the people who uplift you. It’s the moment you realize that God has been guiding you toward this renewal all along.
• Milestone: Rebuilding relationships rooted in mutual respect, trust, and joy.
• Action: Focus on deepening your connection with God or a higher power, leaning into prayer, meditation, or acts of service.
The Final Step: You Are the Hero, You Are the Light
“You are the hero; you are the light.”
At the end of this journey, you’ll stand in your truth, realizing that the light you sought was within you all along. You are stronger than you ever imagined, and your life now reflects the woman you were always meant to be.
• Milestone: Living authentically, boldly, and unapologetically in your truth.
• Action: Celebrate yourself—your growth, your strength, your light.
Your Call to Action
The journey of healing is not a straight path, but it is a sacred one. Every step you take is a step toward becoming the woman God intended you to be—a Wonder Woman, soft yet strong, carrying the light that transforms the world.
Stand in the light. Embrace your truth. You are the hero of your story, and your light is unstoppable and can never be dimmed for you are the light.
