According to her, she took a break from social media and everything, just to be God alone.
She said:
“THE WHOLE JOURNEY WASN’T EASY, WHILE ON THE RETREAT, IT WAS A LOT OF WORK, AT SOME POINT, I WAS TIRED AND WANTED TO RUN AWAY, IT WAS OVERWHELMING…THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISE MADE ME KNOW IT WAS TIME BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT WITHOUT GOD.
