My story could be very similar to yours in the sense that I have overcome a lot of obstacles in order to get where I am today. I had depression from a very young age and saw countless psychiatrists and psychologists and went to family therapy to no avail. During my teen years I ended up trying to numb my life with drugs, alcohol and relationships. I had my first child at 19 and my second at 21. I was married and divorced by the time I was 22. I got remarried and shortly after, widowed due to him losing a battle to cancer. It was during this time that I accepted Christ as my savior and began seeing the world differently. I began to see that we are part of something bigger than us and we do have a purpose, there is a reason we are here. Once you align with God’s known will for your life and discover His hidden will for your life, then you can truly make massive positive movement in your life as well as be the blessing to others we are called to be.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11

I spent the next few years growing my walk with the Lord and became one of the adult leaders in the youth group.  After being alone for several years I met my now husband of 19 years, Ken. We added 3 more children to the family and have had a lot of ups and downs during the 20 years we have been together. 

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. -Psalm 37:4

I ended up in 2008 becoming very overweight and quite depressed. I stayed in this state for so many years that it felt like another lifetime. My skin physically hurt to live in and that is when I knew enough was enough and I needed to make some very massive changes otherwise I wasn’t going to survive.

The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. -Proverbs 19:8

My transformation started off like a lot of people, with wanting to lose the weight and thinking that if I could just lose this 50 pounds I would be happy. Well I lost the weight but still something was missing. This is when I began my personal development and mind growth journey. It was then and only then that I was able to truly begin to leave my old habits behind and start to look towards the future. When God placed the call on my life to coach and mentor other women that were struggling with the “Why isn't this working?” question, I began training and seeking wisdom so I could be the best Christian Wellness Coach and Mentor I could be.

I knew that if I could help other women conquer their mindset, then they could tackle any obstacle in their way and become the best version of themselves that God is calling them to be. You see, our mindset will literally make or break anything you set out to achieve: being a good wife, mom, homemaker, weight loss, getting healthy, starting a home based business, etc. Literally anything you try can be a complete failure or complete success depending on your mindset!
