My Story

Jesus, creativity, leadership, design, business, and more are the DNA of who I am.   All that is within me to do is an overwhelming mix of joy and frustration.  Often I say to God and to my husband, “there isn’t enough life left in me to accomplish all that’s in my heart to do!”
I was born in the mountains of Western North Carolina in 1975. I was privileged to grow up in the 80’s and 90’s which was by far the coolest era!  I am still currently living in the same town I grew up in, on the same road, but not in the same home. I did however leave the area for an 8 year season, but found my way back to these beautiful mountains.
I am a woman of God in my second marriage to the most wonderful man in the world, a mom to 2 sons and 1 daughter-n-law,  a stepmom to amazing son and daughter, a boss to amazing employees, a Noni to my grandson, a friend to many but in love with only a few, a giver and encourager, a teacher by heart, and a prayer warrior. I am all of these things and more by the Grace of God. I am proud of who He has made me to be. I mess up in all these areas often, but I am not a failure in any of them. I am not pretending to be perfect because there’s none such as that. However, I am real and I love it.
I am passionate about helping people get beyond where they are in marriage, life, self, faith, and honestly any area if I can.  I love being involved in the lives of those in addiction recovery and transition back into life successfully. I also love using my own experience to help second marriage and blended families  become the best home environment they can become.
My personal goals for the rest of this life that I’m blessed to live, are to be the funniest God chaser the world has ever seen, setting the captives free,  my future grandchildren’s favorite person, a smoking hot wife to my husband, a multi-business owner, and a restorer of broken foundations in people’s lives.
Ultimately, if I can help one person or one couple at a time get free from anything holding them back from their destiny, then I am making the world we live in a better place.
I will loosely share my education and certificate training so that I can prove just how imperfect and real I am. After I barely graduated high school, I married someone in the military and moved to California, where I waited tables for the next 8 years. I had a blast by the way, one of the most fun jobs I’ve ever done.
At 28 I went to a community college and graduated with a 2 year degree, transferring into a 4 year university as a junior majoring in social work with a minor in religion. Midway through my last year I went through a divorce having to leave school to work more than full time to care for my 2 boys. That being said, I never finished. Later, after I met my husband, we attended a bible college training for a year and graduated. Then we graduated from a year-long Christian Leadership school. I have worked and volunteered teaching, counseling, and doing group sessions at a faith based residential rehab for women for more than 15 years. Clint and I have counseled/coached 100's of  hours for church members, helping them in many streams of their lives. We also are certified marriage mediator's through Jimmy Evans XO Marriage Today, as well as certified coaches with Connection Codes. 
I share all this to say, that although I am extremely humbled by my learning opportunities and I have learned so much,  none of those things have made me who I am. What has made me and what drives my passion are my mistakes, my weaknesses, and all my life experiences….. not my education.
