Meet Kayla Reese | Ministry Leader & Therapist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Kayla Reese and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kayla, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
I had to develop a habit of having self-discipline and self-control. I was so comfortable with others managing my life that I moved from their acceptance and move to independency. In order or me to have more I have to control the life and manage the dysfunction and turn it into destiny.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Daily I work with people and families. My goal is to transform the life one person moment by moment. I go into homes and perform therapy sessions to create life tools to build healthy lives.

What sets me apart is, I use my own fears, struggles, disabilities, that I have overcome. Staying consistent in the process and lifetime communication with people. I understand that you leave a lifetime impression when you reach out after the healing has taken place. People always feel dropped even after they are healed. they don’t always know that you are available for their future. So I’m here for their future but I create a space and a place for them.

I am most proud when I see that work that we put into helping and healing turns into a beautiful garden. The lives that are changed and freed from bondage, brokenness, lies, grief, deception,etc.

I got to where I am by constantly reminding myself of what I wanted to do in life, I believed there was a ME before the people trusted me. I learned that I needed help before I could help the people. I studied, researched, created my life templates and outlines for my life. Then I built my own expression of how healing should be according to my own process. It was not easy, There were times I didn’t feel like doing anything. I had selfish days,weeks, months, years. There were times when I didn’t have enough to get through to the next day. I didn’t have a place to live, I had no food for my daughter. Consistency and Faith even when it doesn’t look promising got me to this place. I remember one day I was trying to build my business and I didn’t know where to start. I remember crying saying “no one wants to help. Everybody wants thousands of dollars to help.” I said “when i make it big, I’m going to help the people that really want help because it’s every man for themselves and God for us all”

Even in this place, I’m not at the peak of my life but I’m headed in the right direction. Several lessons I learned, One most valuable to me is everybody isn’t your favorite person although they say it. I learned to put people in folding chairs(lol) Folding chairs are easy to move right, so when i lowered my expectations in people it wasn’t easy for them to hurt me. So in my mind I’ve placed them in a folding chair so when they show me they can’t handle where I have placed them I mentally remove them and treat them accordingly. I am such a free heart and I’m a forgiving person. I had to learn just because I remove them doesn’t mean you understand my life. So I place people back at the place they understand me.

I want the world to know, It is ok to go after your dreams. Not everyone is for you and not everyone believes in what you are doing. You are so unique and strategically formed. What and who you are someone is waiting for you to come out of your brokenness, hear your story and you teach them how to get over it. The greatest lesson is to be free from people. My brand is for the broken, misused, mishandled, lost, rejected people and resuscitate them to the rightful place. Take their dreams and turn them into reality.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My best friends know I am the life of the party. I do this all the time, call them up and say lets do this or that. Take a mini frien-cay….. (Friend Vacation). We love the beach, so gather your things girl and let go get a tan. While we out let’s stop by every Walmart we see. Better yet, lets do a little shopping. We typically get one expensive thing but not from Walmart for some luxury store (lol). We always end the night with laughter, games, and sharing old memories. Times when I used to drink and get drunk. How I used to act in public. ” Lord thank you for deliverance”

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have 4 friends and a leader in my life that has pushed me into the place of where I am. Holding me accountable the place I was and is in and the place of where I am going. I woke up one day after spending time with God and myself. I heard, “you can’t go to nations if your mindset is stuck in the community.” That one statement push me into my NOW.
