If you had looked at my life growing up,

you would have never guessed that one day I'd be standing in a home like this,

let alone owning it.

The truth is, I shouldn't be here.

Based on my childhood, my trauma,

and the darkest moments of my life,

the more logical ending would have been one of despair.

If it weren't for God's intervention,

I probably wouldn't even be alive to tell this story.

I'd probably be dead.

So, let's set the record straight.

No, I did not buy a 1.5 million dollar house all on my own,

and I'm not here to sell you a fantasy of overnight success.

What I am here to do is show you that healing,

redemption, and true abundance are possible,

no matter where you're starting from.

Chapter 1 God Saved Me and Restored My Hope I didn't grow up with wealth.

In fact, I grew up in full survival mode,

having been raised in a rural district in Vietnam.

I lost my dad in middle school and fell into a deep depression in high school,

and for a long time,

I didn't see a way out.

I didn't believe that my life could ever feel safe, stable, or abundant.

But God wasn't done with me.

You can watch my full testimony video later in my description,

but my divine encounter with Jesus flipped my world upside down in the best way.

I wrote more about this in my book, Forever Home.

But basically, I learned that in order for someone to regain a sense of agency over their lives,

they need to witness firsthand that real change is possible.

The best way to witness this is for an attachment figure,

such as a parent or mentor,

to pull them out of survival mode to help them feel safe again.

This was exactly what God did for me.

When I was at my darkest moment and wanted nothing to do with him,

he reached out to me in a divine encounter

and immediately made me feel safe for the first time in a long time.

My circumstances didn't change overnight,

but this experience planted something in me.

Hope.

I finally believed that maybe my life didn't have to stay this way.

That shift in perspective changed everything because before I could build a better life,

I had to believe one was even possible.

Chapter 2.

I sought help for my mental health.

Faith gave me hope, but healing required action.

I knew that if I didn't deal with the trauma I had lived through,

I'd always be stuck in survival mode,

no matter how much money I made or how many church services I attended.

So I got help.

I found a Christian counselor that I trusted.

I surrounded myself with people who spoke life into me,

and I worked through the pain I had buried for years.

And here's the thing, if you don't heal,

you will recreate the same cycles of brokenness.

There aren't many things that are black and white in life,

but when it comes to trauma,

you either break the cycle or you repeat it.

There is no in-between.

I learned that the start of a truly abundant life is having a sound mind.

Building became the foundation that allowed me to build everything else.

Chapter 3 I pursued an unconventional dream.

Healing my mind allowed me to feel safe in my own skin,

and therefore confident enough to pursue an unconventional dream.

All of my life, I did what I was supposed to do.

I graduated high school, went to a good college,

got a stable 9-to-5 job, but it drained me.

I always loved home styling,

but I never thought I could make a career out of it.

Then one day, I started sharing my home decor online, just for fun.

I had no idea that what I was doing would one day replace my full-time income.

And what a full-circle moment it was

when I quit my corporate job to share parts of my cozy home for a living.

God has a way of using what we love and the gifts that he's given us for a bigger purpose.

To some people, success might look like climbing a corporate ladder.

But sometimes, the life God has for you looks nothing like what you expected.

It takes faith to pursue it anyway.

Chapter 4.

I partnered with my spouse.

My husband and I met when we were still becoming who we were meant to be.

He was chasing his dream job,

I was figuring out mine,

and we didn't have it all together.

But we supported each other through that strenuous season.

Eventually, we each achieved our career dreams,

got married, and combined our income.

Here's what I learned.

Wealth isn't just about money.

It's about who you build with.

Instead of focusing on what we lacked,

we focused on what we could build together.

And when the housing market opened up during the pandemic,

we took a leap.

So if you're single, I want to encourage you.

Focus on becoming the kind of person you'd want to build a life with.

And if you're married, remember that unity in vision and faith is worth more than any paycheck.

Chapter 5.

I reconciled with my mom.

My relationship with my mom was strained for years.

Her financial stress of being a single mother played a big role in that.

100

I had no doubt that she loved me,

101

but when people are stuck in survival mode,

102

they simply become their worst selves.

103

However, as I healed, I realized that this was my mom's first time living as well.

104

She was trying to navigate a very challenging life all on her own.

105

She didn't have her parents covering,

106

so she had no point of reference when it came to parenting me.

107

And as for me, I couldn't hold on to bitterness and expect to live in abundance.

108

So once I saved enough money from making these videos,

109

I decided to cover my mom's bills and helped her move into a beautiful apartment with gorgeous amenities.

110

I wanted her to experience peace.

111

Later that year, when the world turned upside down during the pandemic,

112

home interest rates hit a record low.

113

My husband and I pooled our savings to buy a starter home.

114

But God had bigger plans.

115

My mom, the same woman who had a strange relationship with me for decades,

116

stepped in and gave us a generous portion of her life savings,

117

not just for a starter home, but a forever home.

118

I never expected her to bless us in this way because I wanted to take care of her.

119

Instead, she helped us to buy a home that would be cherished for generations.

120

When we prioritize relationships over resentment,

121

we open ourselves to God's provision in ways we never expect.

122

Chapter 6.

123

I shared my story shamelessly.

124

The great thing about following Jesus is that you don't have to be ashamed of your past.

125

In fact, you can boast about your weaknesses because it will highlight God's goodness all the more.

126

I used my platforms to share transparently about my past addictions,

127

family trauma, and mental health struggles,

128

and that honestly led to opportunities I never could have planned,

129

including a book deal that helped pay for our home renovation.

130

Apostle Paul said, So to keep me from becoming proud,

131

I was given a thorn in my flesh,

132

a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.

133

Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.

134

Each time he said, My grace is all you need.

135

My power works best in weakness.

136

So now I'm glad to boast about my weaknesses,

137

so that the power of Christ can work through me.

138

That's why I take pleasure in my weaknesses and in the insults,

139

hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ.

140

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

141

So whenever the enemy shames you about your past and tempts you to hide it,

142

remember that in Christ's economy,

143

your weaknesses become your strength.

144

This house isn't just a home.

145

It's proof of what God could do.

146

It's a tangible reminder of how he restores,

147

redeems, and provides in ways we could never orchestrate ourselves.

148

If there's anything I want you to take away from this,

149

it's that your past does not define your future.

150

The same God who lifted me out of the pit can do the same for you.

151

The question is, will you trust him with your story?

152

If you're in a season of rebuilding,

153

I want to encourage you to start journaling through it.

154

Writing things down helped me so much in my journey and that's why I created the Abundant Life Journal.

155

It's designed to help you reflect,

156

dream, and step into the life that God has for for you.

157

You can order it through the link in my description today.

If this video resonated with you,

159

drop a comment and share your biggest takeaway.

160

I'll see you again soon.
