I’ll start from the beginning….
In 2019, God gave me a clear word that 2020 would be my exodus (exit) year. Y’all know I love the story of the Israelites. It’s probably my favorite story in the bible. Well like most of us when the pandemic began, I didn’t see how that word would come to fruition because we were all stuck at home.
Like many, 2020 was not easy. In September, my uncle/God Father passed away unexpectedly. Even though his death was unexpected, I had peace. My uncle lived his life to the fullest. His favorite saying was “ I’m doing me.” He was so courageous. He accomplished everything that he desired. After his passing, I could continuously, hear him say, ‘Ciera, do you.” Little did I know, his voice was setting me free. That’s when my exodus began.
If you’re not familiar with the story of the Israelites, God freed the Israelites from the hand of pharaoh and allowed them to exit slavery and begin their journey to Canaan (the promised land). In order for the Israelites to escape slavery and journey to the promise land (crossing the red sea), they had to first believe they could.
At the end of last year, God freed me from old thinking patterns and people. I began to realize how much my beliefs were holding me back. I realized that there were many things in my life that I desired but honestly, I didn’t believe I could achieve them. I believed everyone else could be blessed with the miraculous but not Ciera. God checked me. I could. I can. I will. I am.
I started to believe.
As things internally started to shift last year, I began to realize that I was holding on to things that no longer served me. A release needed to happen. One of those things was Faith and Finance. Over the years, people have come to know me as a financial coach. However, there are so many parts of me that I have yet to fully cultivate. When God created me, He packed this slim frame with a whole lot of creativity. When I started Faith and Finance it was most definitely God. Yet, for the last two years, He’s been nudging me to step out in faith and stop worrying about what people may say or think. At the end of last year, I did that and I’m so glad that I did.
Last year, I had the idea to begin a Faith and Finance Membership Group because One on One coaching was no longer feasible. I couldn’t devote the time and attention to my clients that they deserved, excel in corporate america and have an active personal life.
If you’re new to my world, I have a flex schedule that allows me to be off every other Friday (unless duty calls. I will discuss my corporate career in another blog post in the future). On one of those Friday’s, I spent the day working on Faith and Finance and praying over the membership group idea. By the end of the day, God had shifted things. He told me that there would be no Faith and Finance Membership Group and that there would be no more Faith and Finance.
Wait. What? Yes, there would be no more Faith and Finance.
So, my question was, “So what are we doing then?” God answered by reminding me of all of the things I love. Faith, Financial Literacy, Fashion, Fitness and Food. I love traveling too but that doesn’t start with and F. lol He then reminded me that I purchased two domains last year ( Cieranichole.com and cierawilson.com).
Remember I said, God put a lot in this slim frame? Well for the last two years I’ve been wanting to do the following:
-Start a YT channel
-Share my affordable Fashion finds
-Share organization tips/tricks
-Share Home Decor Finds
-Document my fitness journey
-Share new/fav restaurants
-Help other women start their businesses
-Annnnnd still share my faith and help others increase their savings and decrease debt.
God said do it all. I created Ciera Nichole to do all of that. So as a result, I’m doing me. All of ME. Say goodbye to Faith and Finance and HELLO to Ciera Nichole. I will share more of my lifestyle and inspire you to feel good from the inside out. Thank you for being on this journey as I create the life of my dreams.
