At Soy & Lee, you’ll find thoughtfully chosen clothing pieces along with a few accessories like handbags, jewelry, and the occasional pair of shoes—everything designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self.

But more than anything, this boutique is about lifting women up. I share a lot of my faith journey along the way, because I truly believe in creating a space that encourages, inspires, and reminds you of your worth.

“Let your light shine before others…” – Matthew 5:16 ✨

Thank you for being here. It truly means more than you know.

Hi friends—this is the heart of how Soy & Lee came to be. At first, the boutique was something I did on the side while working full time as a banker. I was on a fantastic career path, and honestly, it was a big part of who I was. But for a few years, I felt this stirring… like God was nudging me toward something new, something I couldn’t quite name yet. I was being called, but I didn’t know to or for what.

I prayed and prayed for clarity when finally deciding to go full time with Soy & Lee. I told God, “If I’m supposed to do this, You’re going to have to put it right in front of my face.” And He did—so clearly that I still get emotional thinking about it.

In early 2023, I went to a two-day women’s Christian conference at my church. I almost didn’t go because I was overwhelmed and behind on boutique work, but something in me said, “Go.” And that decision changed everything. On the second day of the conference, my mom was unexpectedly unable to attend, so I got placed at a different table—next to a woman who would unknowingly become part of my story.

During that entire conference, I was an emotional mess… felt very touched, heard, like some of the messages were piercing through my heart that was lost in searching for my answer. The last speaker of the day was a lady named Christine Caine. Her message was my favorite of the day, and I turned to the girl I was sitting next to letting her know that was my favorite speaker of the day and randomly blurted out, “I wonder if she has a podcast or a book or something.” The conference ended.

The next day was Sunday, and I ended up missing church. My parents also attend the same church, and even though my dad was sick, my mom still went. The girl I sat next to at the conference found my mom and gave her a book and said, “Make sure Brooke gets this.”

My mom came to our house and delivered the book. It was a book by Christine Caine—the same speaker whose message had touched me so deeply at the conference.

I went downstairs to take a bath—another rare moment when you have little kids at home. I opened the book to begin reading and realized it was a daily devotional. I opened to today’s date, March 26th: Your Defining Moment. The devotional talked about coming to a crossroads, about changing jobs, about choosing purpose over comfort, about making a decision that could impact others for eternity. It was every single thing I had been wrestling with.

I sat there in the bath, bawling. I handed the book to my husband, and after he read it, he looked at me and said, “Wow Brooke, if anyone is of faith, how could you not believe this message is directly from God?”

It was the exact message I had been praying for—placed directly in front of my face.

I quit my banking career the next day.

You see, there were too many factors at play for me to read that direct message on that exact day:

1. I almost didn’t go to that conference.
2. My mom last minute couldn’t go on the second day, so I got sat next to a girl who God very much used in this story.
3. I told her how much Christine Caine’s message resonated with me.
4. I didn’t go to church the next day.
5. My mom went, even though my dad was sick. The girl gave the book to my mom.
6. My mom showed up the same day to give me the book, saying the girl wanted me to have it.
7. I took a bath, actually took a moment for myself, opened the book, and read the message on Sunday, March 26th.

You see friends, if my mom would have waited one day to give me that book, it would have been Monday the 27th… and I WOULD HAVE MISSED THE MESSAGE.

His timing isn’t always fast, and it isn’t always easy—but it is always perfect. Sometimes we don’t understand the waiting, the stirring, or the in-between seasons until we look back and see how every detail was woven together with purpose. This journey taught me that when we slow down, trust Him, and stay patient, He reveals things in ways we could never orchestrate ourselves.

Soy & Lee became my full-time calling—not just a boutique, but a place to shine God’s light. Yes, we sell clothes. But the heart of this business is connection, encouragement, and faith.

It’s about helping women feel seen, loved, and uplifted. It’s about reminding you that God is in the details, and His timing is perfect.

I truly believe the best is yet to come.
