Who am I?

Peace, I’m Ciarra. I am a child of God and I have faith beyond reason. I’ve shifted from leaning on faith to standing on it. Some know me as doula, breastfeeding specialist, yoga teacher and so on. My favorite titles are wife & mother to two beautiful Black boys. I’m the mom of That Family on the Go, where we’re raising globally-minded sons, building a life rooted in love, wellness, and freedom—and doing it God’s way.

This space is for those who crave something deeper than balance—who know life moves in waves. Ebb and flow, knowing that with God, we can navigate anything. Finding the rhythm between travel and stillness, chaos and calm, doing and being. Whether I’m making herbal remedies, schooling the kids on the go, running late on dinner (happens way more often than I thought it would), or catching a moment of peace in the madness, I’m sharing it all with heart and honesty.

Beyond Reason is all about that space you find yourself in where you know everything is as it should be even as it seems to be falling apart. It’s the unshakable, unwavering faith that you have in God to work it out. Better than that, it’s the knowing deep in your heart that it is already done. Here, I hope you find resonance and kinship and maybe even a little inspiration to shift your perspective. And, I hope you subscribe!

Subscribers can look forward to a monthly love letter called Rooted & Rising along with thoughtful posts about life, love and parenting. Paid subscribers will find audio versions of written posts with commentary for a more intimate experience, as well as full access to Nobody Has the Answers - a podcast where I ask the big questions and share bold truths.

In the current season of Nobody Has the Answers, we are diving deep into everyone’s favorite topic with The Truth About Love. These episodes are free at the moment and can be enjoyed on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, as well.

You will also find Hear the Word - a video series of me reading the bible. This will always be free and is available on YouTube, as well.

34 Years, 34 Lessons is a limited series of the life lessons that have shaped who I’ve become. These are for my paid subscribers, though you will find a few free posts sprinkled in there.

I send out an email each time I make a new posts. If that’s too much for you or you only want to be notified about a specific section, update your notification settings on Substack and problem solved!

If you’re a Black woman navigating motherhood, partnership, and purposeful living—and you’re trying to do it with intention and joy—you’re in the right place.
