Is This All, God?
I remember sitting in my office one afternoon, staring out the window. From the outside looking in, I had it all together: a rewarding career, wonderful friends, a loving family, and a church community that meant the world to me. My life looked picture-perfect. And yet, deep inside, there was an ache, a restlessness that […]
Fear Is Too Expensive
I recently had the privilege of walking alongside one of my clients, Valerie, as she uncovered her God-given calling. Valerie had long sensed there was more to her life than the path she was walking. She felt a tug deep within her spirit, a whisper from God inviting her to step into a new assignment. […]
When Waiting Isn’t Holy
My friend Shay has a heart of gold and a calling that’s crystal clear. For the past year, she’s talked about starting a coaching business for moms of toddlers – women like her, who are trying to navigate nap times, snack rotations, and soul fatigue. Every time we talk, her eyes light up when she […]
Your Calling Isn’t Meant To Look Like Theirs
Have you ever looked at another woman walking boldly in her calling and thought, “I must be doing it wrong”?

What If You Said Yes?
In her bestselling memoir Year of Yes, television powerhouse Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, reveals how a single question from her sister unleashed a year of transformation. At the height of her career, Rhimes was a self-confessed “no-sayer,” shying away from invitations to parties, new speaking gigs, even candid conversations. Then one […]
God Called You Anyway
Somewhere along the way, you decided that God couldn’t possibly use you. Not after the choices you made. Not after the detour your life took. Not after the divorce… the addiction… the abortion… the shame. You look at your past and disqualify yourself from the very thing God already called you to do. But here’s […]
From People-Pleasing To Purpose
Have you ever put your dreams on the back burner because you didn’t want to disappoint others? You say “yes” when your heart is screaming “no.” You prioritize everyone else’s needs, convinced that making others happy is the right thing to do. But deep down, you feel the weight of frustration, exhaustion, and the nagging […]
Scared? Take the Leap Anyway
I remember a conversation I had with a friend several years ago. We were both dreaming out loud, sharing the goals we wanted to accomplish in our lives. As we advised each other on the best steps to take, she shared something that has stuck with me ever since. She said, “Someone once told me, […]
