She’s Back.

NOT STARTING OVER, JUST STARTING AGAIN ...

Hey friend,

Some of you might remember I tried to start this back in October. I was so excited to write the first letter and then I found out I was pregnant two weeks later and everything got quiet again. I don’t think that was an accident. I think God let me plant the seed and then said “not yet.”

Well, it’s time now.

I’ve been sitting with this letter for a while now. Not because I didn’t know what to say — but because I wanted to make sure I was actually ready to say it.

💌 MUVA Mail is back.

But this time around, she’s a little different and honestly, so am I.

If you’ve been here before, you might remember this as a space about marketing — strategies, behind-the-scenes of building a business, the hustle of balancing ambition with being a wife and mom. And for a season, that was my focus.

But that season is over.

Right now I’m a wife, a mom to one with another on the way, and a woman in the middle of what I can only describe as a holy unraveling. My business is on pause. I’m not focused on climbing any ladders. I’ve realized that I don’t want a big team or a brand that requires me to be “on” around the clock. I want slower mornings. I want to be present at my kids’ school. I want to handle the ups and downs of this pregnancy without guilt for taking care of myself when I need it.

I to some I know that might sound like I’m giving up. But the truth is that it feels like I’m finally waking up.

I’ve spent the last 7 years building something that looked impressive from the outside but left me measuring my worth by my output. And quietly, slowly, God has been undoing that in me. Teaching me to open my Bible before I open my laptop. Teaching me to stop and actually notice the life He’s given me — the beauty in it, the grace in it, the enough-ness of it.

I’m learning to do things because I love them. Not because they can make me money or grow my audience.

If you don’t have things that you do for the simple sake of doing them because they bring you joy, you my friend have lost the plot.

Which is why MUVA Mail has to be different now.

A weekly letter for the MUVAs who are holding it all together, figuring it out, and refusing to lose themselves in the process. The wives and mothers trying to find balance in real time. The women at the crossroads of unlearning everything they were told success looks like to build what they actually want instead.

My goal is to use this space to build real community while sharing the lessons I’m learning and the things bringing me joy along the way. I don’t have it all figured it out (if anything at all) and I won’t pretend that I do, but I will commit to being as transparent and vulnerable as I can while I find my way in this new season my life.

If that’s your vibe and you want to go deeper, upgrade your subscription and join our private chat. A space created just for the women who are on this same journey and want to commune over books, God’s word, and life lessons in a place that feels a little more like a living room than the internet.

This season is honestly a little messy and filled with so much uncertainty. But I believe that when I look back, I’ll see it all beautifully woven together. And I’d love for you to be here for it.

Welcome back to MUVA Mail.

With love,
Brianca

This Week’s Theme: Thank God for the Crushing

This week’s study hit differently mainly because of the season I’m in right now. “Thank God for the crushing” is not a phrase that comes naturally when you’re in the middle of it — but each day of this study has reminded me of God’s faithfulness even when the challenge I was facing seemed insurmountable. I’m realizing (very slowly I might add) that the crushing isn’t punishment. It’s God pruning, preparing, or propelling me.

His word says:

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

And as I reflect on my life I can see this manifested. His track record is undefeated and that is what is helping me to navigate the crushing as gracefully as possible.

BTW – I’m studying through “The Bible in 52 Weeks: A Yearlong Bible Study for Women by Dr. Kimberly Moore” and it has been one of the most amazing things I’ve added to my daily routine.

What I’m into this week — the books, the shows, the hobbies, the things bringing me joy right now.

📺 Watching - Right now, I’m waiting on part 2 of the new Bridgerton season to release and I am binge watching All American: Homecoming.

📚 Doing - I am committed to cutting down my doom scrolling so I’ve actually been spending more time coloring and I love it. I grabbed an anti-stress coloring book and some adult markers and color while I watch TV to prevent the insane urge to waste hours of my life on Tiktok.

🧡 Loving - For the last 4 months I have been sick, ugly, and just not really feeling like myself. The one thing that has brought me joy has been getting dressed up and doing my makeup – I’m talking FULL beat. So I bought a new vanity and led Makeup mirror from Wayfair so that I can add doing my makeup to my daily routine.
