If you are caring for everyone else while trying to give your own life attention, begin with what you need today. Read my story to understand who I am and why I built this space.

Meet Malisha
I’m Malisha Womack.
I’m a mother of three, an Army veteran and the founder of The Second Chapter.
I created The Second Chapter from my experience as a mother, a veteran and a woman learning to care for her own life while caring for others. Faith shapes what I share about money, time, relationships and the choices I am responsible for making.
I am still practicing what I share. Here, I explain why I built this space and what stewardship, peace and accountability mean in everyday life. The free A Year From Now reflection gives you a way to look at your own patterns and choose a next step.
The Movement
Learning to put God first in real life.
The Movement explains stewardship, peace, accountability and HER, the woman you intend to be through the decisions you practice. Faith and intentionality connect these foundations. You will find examples of reviewing spending, setting a boundary around your time and checking whether you kept a commitment. This is reading you can apply to your own circumstances, not a coaching or membership sign-up.
A Year From Now
Pray, review your year and make a plan.
The free reflection contains nine prompts and space to write by hand. Allow about an hour, use the printable pages or a notebook, and finish with one priority, one manageable action, a start date, a measure and a check-in date. Your answers stay with you. Opening the exercise does not join the program waitlist.
Step 01
Pray and review your year
Give thanks, name what has been difficult and look at one real pattern in your spending, time or commitments. Use a specific moment to understand what happened.
Step 02
Choose one stewardship priority
Choose one financial or personal area you want to care for better. It could be reviewing bills, protecting time to rest or following through on a commitment.
Step 03
Plan one manageable action
Write down what you will do, when you will start, what will count as completion and when you will check in. Keep your plan with your reflection and return to it on that date.
