Let’s talk about purpose. After years of coaching Christian women, I’ve seen a pattern. So many of us are chasing purpose, but still feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure. And the root of that struggle is we’ve been living with a definition of purpose that came from culture, not from God. And that misunderstanding? It keeps […]

Whose Expectations Are You Living For?
Let me ask you something. When you woke up this morning, whose voice did you hear first? Was it the still small voice of God reminding you of who He created you to be? Or was it the noise of the world telling you that you are not enough, that you need to do more, […]
5 Characteristics of a Purpose-Aligned Woman (And How to Know If You’re One of Them)
Purpose Defined: What it is, and What it Isn’t Let’s start by clearing something up. Purpose is not your career. It’s not something someone created for you. It doesn’t change with the seasons, and it was never just about you. Your purpose is not what you do, it’s who you are. You can’t turn it […]
How Big Is Your But?
“He didn’t want me, but…” “My business isn’t making as much money as I need, but…” “I’m going to have to cancel my live event, but…” “I lost my job, but…” “I didn’t get the promotion I worked so hard for, but…” “I thought I would have started my business by now, but…” If we’re […]
Live The Story God Wrote
I was coming back from the beach a few days ago, minding my business, when I pulled up to a red light. Nothing special about the moment. Until I looked up. Right in front of me was a Winnebago, and on the back of it was a simple bumper sticker that read: “Live a Great […]
When Life Feels Gray
There is a particular kind of exhaustion that doesn’t just affect your body. It affects your spirit. You can still get up, go to work, handle responsibilities, show up for family, even serve in ministry… but inside, you feel disconnected. Flat. Uninspired. Like you’re just moving through the day without any real delight. And if […]
From Crisis to Calling
The Chinese character for crisis is formed by combining two words: danger and opportunity. Isn’t that something? Every crisis holds the potential for both tragedy and transformation, a moment that can either break us or become the very place where God builds something beautiful. You may not always be able to control what’s happening around […]
Your Assignment May Change, But Your Purpose Never Will
I thought I had my life all figured out. Since I was twelve years old, all I ever wanted to do was be an attorney — and my dream came true. But after years of hard work as a trial attorney (and later as a judge), I was able to take early retirement at fifty […]
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. […]
Don’t Abandon Your Vision!
When God plants a vision in your heart, it’s rarely something small. It stretches you. Challenges you. Grows you. And, if we’re honest, it can overwhelm you. But here’s the beautiful truth: if God gave you the vision, He will also equip you to fulfill it. Nehemiah is one of the most powerful examples in […]
