She is passionate about people seizing their destiny rather than accepting the fate life has handed to them. In 2020, she started on a journey to serve professionals who wanted more but felt stuck. These were achievers with accolades to their names but knew they weren’t living up to their fullest potential. They excelled in one or two areas but struggled in their personal lives, not knowing how to get from where they were to where they knew they were meant to be. Working on internal congruence, my clients flourished. They become entrepreneurs or got promoted with raises. They got healed. They got married. They began to lead in ways they never dared to before. She continues to hone this craft and serve these people. The mission is 1 million Kingdom homes by 2035.
