7 Inspirational Women to follow on Instagram

Social media isn’t bad when you follow people that lift your spirits..

I often say that I have a love- hate relationship with social media, only because I too used to fall in the rabbit hole of comparing my life to someone else’s. Comparing my beginning to their end, or comparing my middle to their middle. But this past year, I began to feel differently about social media. Instagram being one of my favorite social media platforms, I started to take suggestions on positive women to follow on the gram, some I found on my own, others people had to point out to me. However I arrived to their pages… I arrived.. and I was so glad I did..

These women are honest about their journeys and they are extremely encouraging, each one gives me life in a different way. I have heard Myleik, Sarah Jakes Roberts and MrsKevonstage speak in Memphis and I left forever changed…

Outside of my daily devotionals nothing inspires me more than to feel like I am not alone in my struggles and the goals that I have set for myself. We all need some form of encouragement throughout the day..and not just encouragement but someone who will pull your card and give you a dose of honesty and strength..that’s what I often pull from these women, encouragement, honesty, energy and strength…sometimes we just need to be reminded that we are capable to achieve anything we set our minds to..

Check out these Fearless Women if you don’t already follow them..you should definitely start:

@HannahBronfman

Hannah is an author, DJ , and Founder of HBFit, a central source of the latest news on health,beauty and fitness tips. She is the co- founder of Beautified, an app that serves as a way for people to book last minute beauty appointments through a selected group of salons and spas. She also serves as an Adidas Ambassador.This woman is busy! I love watching her fitness journey as she promotes healthy eating and jumps from one workout studio to the next. She inspires me to live the healthiest life possible covering mental and physical health.

@RachaelAdams

Rachel Adams is an olympic gold medalist, she plays for the USA Women’s National volleyball team. She uses her platform to inspire, and encourage young women and girls. She is the founder and creator of an online shop called “ Journey Strength” where you will find an inspiring blog of women sharing their truth as well as a line of products with an encouraging word to get you through any and every goal. I personally follow @journeystrength on instagram and every quote is on time and uplifting.

 @StaceyFlowers

Stacey is the guru for goal- setting in my opinion especially when it comes to budgeting. That was how she was introduced to me when I had issues with setting goals. She is an entrepreneur/ public speaker who is dedicated to helping people  unleash their God-given potential to influence the word for the better. Her energy is contagious and I love watching her live video feeds. She always comes with a positive word to get you on track and focused.

@SophaRush

Founder of the @Livedeeplyrooted blog which consists of encouraging, heart-felt daily prayers. She is a wife, mother, and minister and ray of light encouraging you daily to live your best through the promises of God. Join her live deeply rooted challenge! It will change your life.

@SarahJakesRoberts

Sarah is a pastor, and author, wife and mother. She is also the daughter of T.D. Jakes. She came to Memphis recently for her Woman in the Wild Tour and I tell people all the time, I will never be the same after hearing her message. There is only one word I can think of to describe her and that is “anointed”. She is young, relatable, and funny as she puts her own spin on the ministry. I read her first book “Lost and Found”  and its been me and Sarah as my best friend in my head ever since.  Also, check out her Women Evolve podcast, it will be worth your time.

@MrsKevonstage

I adore Melissa because she is a wife, mother and motivational speaker. She is a strong champion for marriage and I relate to her so much when she talks about some of the realities of marriage and stopping the cycle of being a people pleaser. My husband and I are huge fans of “The Lovehourpodcast” she has with her husband, comedian @Kevonstage. They came to Memphis recently and we left the building even bigger fans than before. I also recommend joining her bookclub, “Lissa’s List Bookclub” on facebook.

@Myleik

Myleik is the Creator of Curlbox, a monthly subscription service of new hair product samples delivered to your door.  I was already a follower prior to hearing Myleik speak in Memphis. However, I was completely impressed with her confidence, swagger and her ability to connect with the audience on building your own brand. She is also one of the women that inspired me to get back to my reading list. She recently posted a summer reading showcase and I had to screenshot it for myself because I want to read every book she suggested. I also highly recommend her #Mytaughtyou podcast.
