Some times you meet people, and they tell you your story and you can hardly believe it. How can they be real people, people you actually are speaking with, not someone in the movies. This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing that someone - Sunday Burquest, a survivor in many ways.
Sunday's story starts well before she survived two truly life-changing experiences. She was a busy mom of four working alongside her husband in his ministry work. That all changed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. This came shortly after her husband almost died and several close family members had passed away, so it was a very dark time for her and led to depression and anxiety. Her son encouraged her to do her own thing and move forward, something which she had thought about for years. But it had never been the right time, she was worried about money and frankly if she could succeed. Sound familiar? I think many of us wanting to go out on our own grapple with similar inner voices.
So after surviving breast cancer, she applied for and earned a spot on the well-known Survivor show. This helped her with the confidence to continue what she had been dreaming of doing, and she started her business, Grit Girl, in order to reach women with an empowering message to help them discover their God-given grit. She loves that her business has helped her get outside of her comfort zone while discovering new skills, new sides of who she is. Like many mompreneurs, she still faces struggles and challenges including isolation and time management. Nonetheless, the benefits of pursuing her passion definitely have been worth it.
Sunday started Grit Girl because she knew she had a message she wanted to share and speaking, writing and hosting events is the best way for her to spread this message and inspire other women with hope.
