Life has a way of forcing us to pause—whether through unexpected challenges, uncertainty, or a deep longing for change. From Pause to Purpose was birthed from my own season of pause, a time when I felt stuck, unsure of my next steps, and searching for clarity. But in that stillness, I found something greater—an opportunity to reflect, grow, and realign with my true purpose.

During this journey, my mentor played an instrumental role. Her godly wisdom, encouragement, prayers, biblical teaching and mentoring with unwavering support helped me navigate the discomfort of waiting, teaching me that a pause isn’t a sign of failure—it’s an invitation to prepare for what’s next. Mrs Rakaseta’s guidance gave me the courage to embrace this season instead of resisting it, helping me transform what felt like a standstill into a launching pad for growth.

Recognizing the power of my own pause, I was inspired to create this eBook as a resource for others who may be in a similar place. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to feel like life is on hold, but I also know that this space holds incredible potential. From Pause to Purpose is a guide to help you make the most of your waiting season—turning it into a time of discovery, preparation, and intentional action.

Having my mentor write the foreword for this book is a full-circle moment. Her time, effort and dedication mentoring me, alongside her insightful leadership and her covering over my life – is woven into every page. Therefore, I am deeply honored to share her words with you. I hope this book serves as a beacon of hope and direction for those who need it most.

Stay tuned for the launch of my ebook soon.

Leaning on Jesus,
