Today, we’re diving into a word that’s been making waves lately—DeLulu. You may have heard it, but what does it really mean? And how does it connect to manifesting your dreams?

After watching a talk show where guests shared how embracing the DeLulu mindset helped them achieve their goals, I started wondering, could this just be faith in action?

💡 In this episode, we explore:
✅ What DeLulu means and how it’s being used to manifest dreams
✅ The connection between DeLulu and faith, and how both require belief in the unseen
✅ Real-life stories of individuals who used this mindset to land their dream job, meet their ideal partner, and build their savings
✅ How unwavering belief—whether in faith or the DeLulu mindset—can push you past doubts, setbacks, and critics

📖 Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” So is DeLulu just another way of saying we believe in something before it happens?

No matter where you stand—whether you’re walking by faith or embracing DeLulu—one thing is clear: believing in yourself and your vision is a powerful force for change.

✨ Your Takeaway:

• Keep believing in your dreams, even when no one else does
• Push past the critics, the setbacks, and the doubts
• Stay intentional in your journey—because your belief is what will carry you through

I’m rooting for you! Keep dreaming big, stay encouraged, and as always, be intentional.
