Speaking and Workshops Include:
Overcoming Hard Seasons with Grit and Grace
Life has a way of knocking us down when we least expect it. The diagnosis, the betrayal, the loss—it all feels like too much. But here’s the thing: hard seasons don’t mean God has abandoned us. They are where He refines us. When everything feels like it’s falling apart, God is actually rebuilding. It’s in the fire that we find out what we’re truly made of—grit, grace, and a whole lot of Jesus.
Motherhood, Marriage & Faith
No one tells you how many times you’ll pray for patience before noon or how messy love looks when it’s lived out daily. Marriage and motherhood are holy ground—but sometimes, they feel more like battlegrounds. The good news? We don’t have to do it alone. God meets us in the chaos of laundry piles and late-night worries, reminding us that our role isn’t just to serve—it’s to reflect His love in the most ordinary moments.
Finding Your Identity in Christ
The world is loud about who we should be—thinner, prettier, more successful, more put-together. But when we chase after the world’s version of success, we lose sight of the truth: we were already chosen, already loved, already enough. Our identity isn’t found in our achievements or failures, but in the One who calls us His. When we stop striving for approval and start standing in His grace, we finally live free.
Mental Health & Faith
Being a Christian doesn’t make us immune to anxiety, depression, or exhaustion. Sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is admit we’re struggling. God isn’t afraid of our brokenness—He meets us there. Scripture is filled with people who battled despair, yet God didn’t leave them there. He offers peace in the storm, healing in the hurt, and strength when we have nothing left. Faith and mental health aren’t opposites—they’re a journey we walk with Him, one step at a time.
Living Boldly & Unapologetically for Christ
Fear whispers that we should stay small, stay quiet, stay comfortable. But we weren’t made for small. We were made to shine. Living boldly for Christ doesn’t mean we have all the answers—it means we trust Him enough to take the next step, even when it’s scary. When we stop apologizing for our faith and start walking in the confidence of who He is, we step into the life we were meant to live—fearless, free, and on fire for His glory.
Journaling Your Way Closer to God – Finding Clarity, Healing, and Connection Through Writing
