She offers mastermind classes and seminars on leadership, communication and personal growth. In addition she is a personal coach for those looking to grow emotionally, professionally or spiritually.
One of the reasons she is so passionate about helping you move beyond your obstacles to find hope is because she knows what it’s like to feel hopeless. She is a survivor of both breast cancer and childhood sexual abuse. She understands what it’s like to feel stuck and what it takes to overcome those obstacles. In order to move beyond her obstacles she had to shift her focus. Praising God was the key to that shift. As she learned to lift her focus, her attitude became more positive and confident hope was the end result. Friend, Jesus is the Hope Giver. He said, “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:35). He is able to bring hope out of the darkest horror. Experience Him as your Hope Giver. If your life circumstances feel dark right now, ask Jesus to come close. Praise God by faith that He loves you and cares about you.
