Q and A with Aneisha from Huntsville, Alabama
“I’ve learned that balance, healing, and success don’t come from having it all together; they come from making intentional choices, even in the middle of uncertainty.”
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: I am passionate about helping women live a life of balance.
This passion comes from my own experience of navigating multiple roles wife, mother, care giver, director, entrepreneur, and community advocate from a place of depletion and people pleasing if I’m honest.
I know firsthand how easy it is for women to pour into everyone else and still feel overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected from themselves.
Through my own journey, I learned that balance isn’t about perfection; it’s about living intentionally.
It’s about listening to yourself, acknowledging your needs, and giving yourself permission to reset without guilt.
That realization not only transformed my life, but it also became the foundation of the work I do today.
Currently, I am focused on expanding my work through coaching, workshops, and community programs that support women in prioritizing intentional self-care and sustainable balance.
I am developing resources and experiences that help women slow down, gain clarity, and create routines that support both their personal lives and leadership roles. My work centers on equipping women with practical tools such as guided reflection, journaling, and mindset shifts, so they can lead and serve from a place of wholeness rather than burnout.
I am also the creator of the Choosing Me Intentionally Journal, a guided journal designed to help women pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. The journal serves as a practical tool that encourages self-awareness, clarity, and intentional actions helping women apply balance in their everyday lives, not just during coaching sessions.
At this stage of my journey, I am deeply committed to creating spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to choose themselves intentionally, knowing that when they are balanced, everything connected to them benefits.
Q: What were your younger years like?
A: I was born in New Jersey, so I’m a city girl at heart.
I had a decent childhood, but it came with layers that shaped me early.
I am the oldest of four on my mother’s side and the baby on my father’s side, which created an interesting family dynamic.
As the oldest, I was heavily relied on by my mother to be the helper the responsible one.
With my father, I was protected and, in many ways, shielded, or at least that was the intention.
One of the most grounding influences in my life was church. I come from a family of singers and preachers, and church was a constant presence in my upbringing.
It gave me structure, faith, and a sense of belonging.
While my faith didn’t prevent every challenge, it did keep me from feeling defeated or giving up.
I was a teenage mother my faith gave me the hope and motivation I needed to strive for the best.
Knowing that I was not alone and believing that I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me became one of my greatest sources of motivation and resilience.
I began working as soon as I legally could.
At that point, I didn’t have the luxury of choice.
I was a mother, and I took that responsibility seriously.
Even while navigating adulthood at a young age, I remained a dreamer.
Deep down, I always knew I was built for something greater, even during seasons when I didn’t feel strong, capable, or confident.
Those early experiences of family responsibility, faith, motherhood, and hard work shaped my character, my work ethic, and my purpose.
They taught me perseverance, balance, and the importance of not giving up on yourself, lessons that continue to guide me in both my personal life, and the work I do today.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that your circumstances do not get to define your future.
Life can unfold in ways you never planned, and you can still rise, grow, and become everything you were created to be.
I’ve learned that balance, healing, and success don’t come from having it all together; they come from making intentional choices, even in the middle of uncertainty.
I want others to know that it’s okay to start where you are.
You don’t have to be perfect, fearless, or fully healed to move forward.
What matters is that you intentionally choose you through everything. For me, I learned that faith, self-reflection, and intentional self-care are the anchors that I needed to keep me grounded.
If there’s anything I hope people learn from my story, it’s that choosing yourself is not selfish, it’s necessary.
When you give yourself permission to listen, acknowledge, and reset, you create space for clarity, growth, and purpose.
No matter what your past or present season is, there is still more ahead of you, and you are worthy of living a balanced, fulfilled life.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: To me, feminism means honoring the strength, worth, and voice of women while allowing room for individuality, faith, and choice.
It’s about creating space for women to show up fully as themselves without having to prove, overperform, or shrink to fit someone else’s expectations.
Feminism is about empowerment and equity, not comparison or competition.
It’s about supporting women in every role they carry while recognizing that each path is valid.
It means advocating for women to have access to opportunities, resources, and support, while also encouraging them to prioritize their well-being and live intentionally.
At its core, feminism is about reminding women that they are capable, deserving, and worthy of rest, of growth, of leadership, and of a balanced life.
For me, it’s less about a label and more about the freedom for women to choose their own paths, honor their values, and thrive without guilt or apology.
