I was once a girl who didn't want to live anymore, but by God's grace and grit, I am now a woman who can't wait to get out of bed. And I believe you can overcome anything!

My life calling and passion is to help girls and women know their God-given value and live the flourishing lives they were created for — to thrive in body, brain, mind, and spirit. I aim to do this through the words I write and speak. I love coaching girls and women and helping them step into becoming the most fully alive versions of themselves. 

I started Wonderfully Made (wonderfullymade.org) when I was twenty, after soaking in the soul-soothing truths about my value and identity found in Psalm 139, and I was called to share the best news for our souls (the Gospel) with every girl and woman. At the age of 18, I experienced severe depression, which led me to be hospitalized, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me because it led me to Christ and changed me forever.

My dream day includes catching the sunrise, reading, writing, surfing, trail running, swimming with dolphins, and being tackled by a dozen Golden Retriever puppies on the sand as the sun sets over the Pacific. 

My husband and I have had the honor of mentoring over 1,000 kids together throughout nineteen years of marriage. We love adventuring up and down the California Coast with our Golden Retriever Gidget, aka our angel in fur.  I hope all I do encourages and inspires you. I hope you stay a while. Send me a note. I'd love to hear from you!
