Authentically Gretta: All Things Beauty & Inspiration
Mission
Established in 2023, Authentically Gretta is a platform designed to empower and inspire others to embrace their unique identity in Christ, as they discover their innate creativity and God-Given purpose.
Welcome!
Have you ever felt like you were purposed for more... like there was a missing piece to your story? Hello, I am Gretta Smith, a Child of God, a Devoted Wife, and Mother. This platform is all about sharing transformational inspiration and empowerment, for the purpose of helping others activate their God-Given purpose in Christ.
My God-Given purpose was activated two years after resigning my full-time career of 15 years in 2021, to join in our family business full-time. In 2023, "Authentically Gretta" was established. I also wrote my first poem, "Authentically Me," published in 2024. This platform is a testament to what God can do when we are obedient to His Will. God equipped me to become uncomfortable with the familiar (familiar mindset, familiar environment, familiar expections, etc.) for this moment, preparing me to walk in my calling,
There's a calling within each of us. We sometimes forget who God tells us we are; oftentimes, tuning into what the world tells us we are not. According to God's Word, we are a chosen one, handpicked by God. Jeremiah 1:5 states, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb, I santified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet to the nations." While this verse was referring to the divine calling and preordained purpose of the prophet Jeremiah, this is a reminder that through Christ, we are set apart for a greater calling.
If you are ready to activate your purpose, please join me on this journey!

The 3 pillars
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is foundational to personal growth and transformation. When you are self-aware, you become more intentional in how you live, lead, and grow. Self-awareness is where change begins, because you can’t change what you are unwilling to acknowledge. Self-awareness empowers you to make conscious choices aligned with your authentic self, boosting confidence and helping you break through limiting beliefs about yourself.
Personal Growth & Development
Personal Growth is the lifelong process of evolving into the best version of yourself, and who you desire to become. Your mindset, confidence, and skills are expanded through continuous learning and self-improvement to enhance your gift. Embracing personal development pushes you beyond your comfort zone and builds resilience and adaptability. It is the engine of transformation, turning your goals into realities. It’s all about who you become in the process.
Implementation
Implementation is the pillar of action—this is where you put your plans, insights, and goals into practice by moving forward. Implementations bridges the gap between knowing what to do and doing it. The key is to take consistent, focused action. This builds momentum and will turn your vision into a reality. It’s about progress, not perfection. When you move forward in your purpose, you stop hoping for change and start living it.
