I am called to be an encouraging champion, compelling individuals, families, cultures, and organizations to live authentically and purposefully. Through Spiritual Direction, coaching, and Enneagram-informed insight, I partner with others to make this a reality, as they deepen their relationship with God, grow in self-awareness, strengthen their relationships, and discern God's unique invitation for this season of their lives.

Being someone with what seemed to be endless energy, each day would begin with a mental, or better yet, written list of all that needed to be accomplished. I always knew how much I could get done, almost down to the minute. I considered myself to a Time Management Master.
The outcome of our willingly (and even knowingly) subjecting ourselves to everyone’s polished persona and comparing our lives with their pics (most of which have been altered or filtered), has resulted in nothing less than GRAND THEFT, stealing our confidence, self-respect, uniqueness, healthy body image, focus, and peace.
