DARE Woman,
Welcome!!!
You did not arrive here by accident.
DARE Woman Network was birthed from a burden—a passionate burden—to help women rise above the limitations that often keep us from taking our rightful place in Christ. It was formed from lived experience, quiet battles, hard lessons, and the deep conviction that a woman is never finished—she is always becoming.
I have journeyed through seasons marked by fear, guilt, regret, lost confidence, overwhelm, cultural expectations, internal struggles, spiritual fatigue, past mistakes, and self-doubt. These are not abstract ideas to me; they are familiar places I have had to grow through.
As women—homemakers, professionals, business owners, students, leaders, mothers, wives, and ministry gifts—we carry much. We juggle roles that pull on our time, stretch our emotions, and sometimes blur our identity. In doing so, we can forget who we are.
We forget that we are powerhouses.
We forget that heaven recognizes our voice.
We forget that our story carries weight.
We forget that our place in Christ is secure, reserved, and unshakeable.
DARE Woman exists to remind you.
Your place is at the top—not above others, but above the limitations that once held you bound. Your vision is not gone. Your zeal is not lost. Your fire is not extinguished.
It may be resting.
It may be hidden.
It may be waiting.
But it is still there—ready to be revived, rediscovered, and fanned back to life.
As we step into 2026, I want you to know this:
This year is not about perfection.
It is not about proving anything.
It is about showing up, standing firm, and rising intentionally.
2026 is an invitation to grow deeper in faith, clearer in identity, stronger in responsibility, and bolder in purpose. It is a year to release shame, confront limitations, and dare for more—not recklessly, but courageously and wisely.
Through this newsletter, I will be sharing reflections from my personal journey through different seasons of life—lessons learned, faith refined, and growth embraced. My hope is that as you read, you will find encouragement to rise above struggles and limitations, despite past mistakes or poor choices, and step confidently into who you are becoming.
You are not disqualified.
You are not behind.
You are not done.
Welcome to DARE Woman.
Welcome to a year of rising.
Welcome to 2026.
With purpose and faith,
Nkonye Odozi
Founder, DARE Woman Network
