Called, Then Equipped: Trusting God Through Setbacks and Setups

In 2022, I thought I had my path figured out. My vision was clear: build a team of personal trainers, expand 2BEpic Fitness and Nutrition, and create lasting impact. But God had a different plan—one I never saw coming but was designed for my growth.

Through financial setbacks and heartbreak, I learned that what seemed like a breakdown was actually a divine setup. God redirected me toward real estate investing, partnerships, and opportunities that aligned with my true calling. He reminded me that I was already equipped to lead—not just in fitness, but in all areas of life.

Faith Like a Mustard Seed

I carry a mustard seed as a reminder that faith doesn’t have to be big—it just has to be present. Even in uncertainty, God is at work, orchestrating every step.

Not Everyone Can Go With You

Growth requires letting go. If people naturally exit your life, trust the process. God is refining your path, protecting your journey, and preparing you for what’s ahead.

Will You Trust Him?

If you feel unequipped or overwhelmed, know this: God calls before He equips. Your struggles are not a mistake—they are preparation. The question is, will you surrender the pen and let Him write your story?

Jodi "Lady J" Watkins

I am a woman of faith, a leader, a mentor, and a lifelong student of growth. My journey has been filled with challenges, mistakes, and lessons that have shaped me into who I am today. While I cannot change my past, I can use it as fuel to empower others, create awareness, and help people break through the barriers holding them back.

I believe in the power of transformation—mentally, physically, and spiritually. Healing is a process, and true change happens when we surround ourselves with the right people and open ourselves up to the journey. Through my work as an author, speaker, and wellness coach, I share my story to inspire others to reclaim their lives, step into their greatness, and embrace the calling God has placed on them.

Writing has been one of my most powerful healing tools, and I now use this gift to help others find their voice, rewrite their narratives, and move forward with clarity and confidence. My passion is to collaborate with like-minded individuals who are ready to make an impact and create a better future for the next generation.

If you or someone you know is ready to take the next step in their journey, let’s connect. Together, we can do more, reach more, and change more lives.
