The marketing landscape is changing, and to be honest, I've never been great at it. I have fun on social media...sometimes. Still, with everything changing so rapidly, I don't want to solely rely on social media to build my mentorship community or my author/book sales. This fall, I'm going to set myself up to do … Continue reading Creative Marketing When I Don’t Want to Rely on Social Media

From Therapist to Life Coach: Why I Switched and What’s Next?
Honestly, I’ve been pretty quiet around here the last 6-9 months. We made a big cross-country move, and I was trying to adjust. I was also trying to find my voice, letting the fear/insecurity take over. I wasn’t completely down for the count during that time. I also released a 31 day guided journal and … Continue reading From Therapist to Life Coach: Why I Switched and What’s Next?

Which is great, because college age students happen to be one of my favorites to work with, in life and in ministry. Tuesday night, we were at a … Continue reading Comparison

God has awakened in me a restless & wandering heart. A heart that desires to see a passion for Him awaken among the nation's youth.

Sometimes, I feel anything but... On the days when I am so low (which has not occurred in quite a while) or so anxious I can barely get out of bed (this one is a little more prevalent).
