I wish someone had told me this when I started dating.

🔒 Many people get stuck in relationships that hold them back, drain their resources, and even harm them because they believe that leaving is not an option. They search for proof of infidelity or abuse because they feel that is the only justifiable end to a relationship. They pour time, energy, money, and more into trying to fix a relationship that is simply misaligned. And in those efforts, both parties become bitter, resentful, and start breaking down little pieces of themselves in an effort to “fit”.

🔑 But what is I told you that you don’t have to fix every relationship?
Consider this—
• Sometimes you hold different values
• Sometimes you are working toward different goals
• Sometimes you have wildly different communication and attachment styles
• Maybe you have vastly different backgrounds and approaches to life
• Perhaps one is a major introvert and the other is wildly extroverted
• Maybe one of you is ready to move forward to marriage, kids, or cohabiting and the other isn’t.

🔐 There are many morally neutral conflicts that may lead to ending relationships, but only if you give yourself permission to leave. Far too many young daters believe that ending a relationship is failure, abandonment, or rejection when it is truly a sign of strength and commitment to values.

🤝 If you are ready to learn to recognize unhealthy patterns and confidently, peacefully end unhealthy or misaligned relationships, DM me!

Tell me if you’ve been here:

You’re working really hard towards a goal. Progress is slow and inconsistent but your work is not.

As you work in silence, others come by and question your progress. They question your motivation. They question— even insult— your character.

What happens to your focus, your determination, your drive?

I can tell you, from my own experiences, you will slowly lose motivation and energy to keep working at it. Not only that, but you lose hope to ever succeed.

Our programs aim to bring focus and empowerment to clients. There is no room for shame when you are surrounded by supporters who are confident in your abilities and invested in your growth!

This is also one reason (of many) that it’s so hard to work your way out of poverty.

In WV, the average home costs around $200k-250k. Even if you get a great mortgage option that only requires a 3% down payment, that is $6,000.

“So don’t buy an average home. Live within your means,” they say. Occasionally, you can find a GREAT deal on a small home for about $100,000, but we’ll say $60k is the bare minimum. At that cost, you need at least $1800. It’s common for mortgage companies to expect 3 months of mortgage payments in the bank for low income buyers as well. That means you may need $3600 in savings to purchase a home.

When we are aware and honest about our current system, it is easy to see why generations of families get stuck relying on a system that does not let them save, build, or work themselves out of poverty.

Our program teaches families to invest in assets that can be passed from generation to generation and offers skills and resources that will help them continue to grow and thrive, and then encourages each family to give back to their community once they have achieved their own goals.

Homeownership doesn’t start with a realtor. It starts with confidence, clarity, and resilience. That’s where we begin.

At On the Rock Alliance, we believe that financial stability and long-term success are built on the foundation of emotional skills. Before someone can buy a home, they need the tools to build a stable life—tools like:

✨ Emotional regulation – learning how to manage stress, frustration, and big emotions before they spiral.
✨ Conflict resolution – handling disagreements without destroying relationships.
✨ Setting boundaries – protecting time, energy, and resources in healthy ways.
✨ Communication skills – expressing needs clearly and listening with empathy.
✨ Radical acceptance & accountability – navigating life’s challenges without getting stuck in blame or shame.
✨ Asking for help – building a strong network of support.

These skills prevent burnout, reduce conflict, and create stronger families, workplaces, and communities.

💡 That’s why our workshops aren’t “soft skills”—they’re survival skills. They’re what make stability, career growth, and homeownership possible.

If your school, workplace, church, or community group is ready to invest in the kind of education that changes lives for generations, let’s talk. We’re booking workshops now.

We cannot just say “there aren’t enough houses” or “they need to work more and harder so they can afford houses”.

We have to dig deeper, figure out why these problems exist, and fix them. The housing crisis isn’t a housing problem. It is a systematic problem and a problem with humanity.

Back in 2018, I was struggling myself and came across this research. It planted an idea in my heart that I’ve worked diligently toward since then.

Since posting this, I have volunteered and worked with many programs to help people with housing, recovery, interpersonal violence, and more. Ive earned my degree and met people who have the passion and compassion to carry out this mission and I’m excited to see how it grows!

“This is awesome info … that is exactly why I want to open the business I dream of someday, a shelter and community center that not only provides a home and human connection, but also teaches essential life skills and responsibilities in a context that people are held accountable and encouraged to their own personal goals. ”
