I’ve been the woman who keeps going for as long as I can remember.

Responsibility shaped me early. Being capable, dependable, and useful became how I learned to measure my value. Those beliefs followed me into adulthood—and into ministry—where I spent years as a coach, counselor, speaker, pastor’s wife, and pastor, walking alongside faithful, exhausted women.

From the outside, my life looked full and meaningful.
Inside, I was running on empty.

I was caring for a newborn, grieving the loss of my mother, parenting two children with special needs, and counseling others through their own life challenges—all at once. Every role felt important. God-given. Necessary.

Until I reached a breaking point.

I had nothing left to give—but too many people depended on me to stop.

What I eventually had to face was this: I wasn’t just burned out. I had learned to define my worth by what I did, how much I carried, and how needed I was. And no amount of effort could fix that.

The real work wasn’t doing less.
It was learning to believe—deeply—that my value was secure because I was God’s.

As I began making decisions from that truth instead of from obligation, things started to shift. I released responsibilities that were never mine alone. Peace returned. Clarity followed. Confidence grew—rooted in alignment and trust rather than performance.

That foundation was tested years later during a cancer diagnosis. It was one of the hardest seasons of my life, yet I walked through it grounded, peaceful, and deeply reliant on God. That season confirmed what I already knew: transformation is possible, even when life is hard.

Today, this lived experience shapes how I coach.

My work is grounded in Scripture and built on biblical truth. Faith isn’t an add-on—it’s the foundation. I help women untangle worth from performance, discern what God is actually asking of them, and live faithfully without carrying what was never theirs to hold, so they can “have life, and have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10b, NKJV)

I share my story because I understand this struggle personally.
I know what it’s like to be burned out by a life you once prayed for.

And I know there is a way back.

And on a more personal note:
