Dr. Sheena Howard is reminding the world what it means to “survive the gap.”
In a candid Instagram post, the award-winning author and entrepreneur revealed how she transformed her life from survival mode to success — a journey that has now gone viral for its raw honesty and inspiration.
Howard shared that eight years ago she was escaping an abusive relationship, sleeping on her mother’s couch, raising an infant, and facing more than $60,000 in debt.
Fast forward less than a decade, and her reality looks drastically different.
Today, she is debt-free, runs a $250,000-a-year storytelling company, and has her books stocked on shelves at Barnes & Noble.
Her work has even been showcased on a Times Square billboard in New York City, a symbol of how far she’s come.
Her message is simple but thought-provoking: “You must survive the gap between where you are and where you’re trying to go. Survive the gap.”
Howard’s journey has struck a chord with readers and followers online, offering a blueprint of resilience, entrepreneurship, and self-belief.
