I love the ocean and the conversations that make me laugh. I am a Christian woman who believes in the power of prayer! I am passionate about assisting women to be their authentic selves. I want to see women healed of the words and experiences that have caused them to live life through their wounds instead of walking into the fullness of their purpose.

God has given me gifts of encouragement and prayer. It is what brings me joy and drives me to lift women in this way.
If you could change one thing about your industry, what would it be and why?
I don’t know that it’s so much of a change in the industry, but I would love to see people be brave enough to heal. There is so much fear that holds people back and keeps them from thriving. If I could change that I know that there would be so much more mental and emotional freedom.
Tell us about a pivotal moment in your life that brought you to where you are today.
This may be the case for a lot of people, but becoming a mother and then becoming a grandmother shifted my focus. I realized as a mother that I had to be much more selfless. There was a responsibility that I felt to shape and nurture which meant that I had to get out of my way. As a grandmother, I was reminded that I have a legacy. This transition in my life made me think, and it compels me today to reach for greater. I want to be an example and leave a legacy that will encourage my family long after I am gone.
