Hey Girl, I’m Stanika.

I’m a wife, mommy, blogger & a big dreamer with a heart for creating. In 2018, I took a leap of faith and withdrew from college to pursue my dream of building a media company & content creation.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

I don’t have everything figured out & truthfully, I don’t want to pretend that I do. I’m simply growing, creating, trusting God and bringing you along for the ride. Think of me as your internet homegirl- the one who’s always down for a good convo, a cute outfit and reminder that you can keep going.

A Little piece of my story

I’m Building the Life I Used to Only Dream About.

For a long time, I knew I wanted something of my own – a space where I could create, write, share what I love & build something meaningful & impactful. I’ve had the vision for years, but getting here hasn’t been a straight line. There have been pauses, restarts, fear, lessons & plenty of moments where I had to remind myself why I started in the first place.

Now, I’ve made the decision to build anyway. Not because everything is perfect or because I have every step figured out, but because I finally understand that I don’t have to wait until become some future version of myself to start creating the life I want. You’re getting to see the journey while I’m actually living it— & maybe somewhere along the way, it’ll encourage you to keep going after yours too.

Trust God, Start Where You Are and Keep Going!– Stanika Lenae

Before you go…

I hope you stay awhile.

If there’s one thing I hope you take from this little corner of mine, it’s that life doesn’t have to look perfect to still be beautiful. I’m learning to appreciate where I am while I am continuing to make room for everything I’m praying, working and dreaming toward.

This space is where I get to share that journey — the things I love and the conversations I think we should be having.

And while you may have come here to learn a little more about me, I hope you leave feeling encouraged about you, too. There’s room to grow, change, start over, dream bigger and enjoy yourself through it.

with love, Stanika
