It’s an honor to speak with you today. Why don’t you give us some details about you and your story? How did you get to where you are today?
My story is truly a testimony of transformation—from tragedy to trailblazer. Life took a drastic turn when I became the victim of a devastating hit-and-run accident, an experience that left me physically broken but eventually spiritually awakened. That moment forced me on a long three-year mending physical process that ultimately set me on a path of deep self-discovery, healing, and divine purpose.
It was in my darkest hours that I leaned into my faith like never before. The Word of God became my anchor, my compass, and my lifeline. Through prayer, healing, and embracing my faith, I realized that every painful chapter had prepared me to empower other women to rise—from darkness to light, confusion to clarity, from pain to purpose, from hiding to shining.
Today, I stand as an authentic Transformation Speaker, Clarity and Book Coach, Best-Selling Author, Marketplace Mentor, and Spiritual Strategist. My mission is crystal clear—to empower women to get diamond clear about who they are, embrace their brilliance, and unapologetically shine in their divine genius zone. Every scar, every setback, and every comeback has equipped me to coach, uplift, and activate women to boldly step into their ordained purpose.
I’m sure your success has not come easily. What challenges have you had to overcome along the way?
Success, for me, has been birthed through fire—refined in the furnace of personal pain, major setbacks, and miraculous breakthroughs. From experiencing the deep sting of personal rejection and family abandonment to walking through the heartbreak of divorce, I’ve endured layers of loss that could have easily broken my spirit. Add to that the cutthroat environments of corporate spaces where jealousy and competition often overshadow collaboration, and you have a recipe for bitterness or burnout.
But instead of allowing those experiences to define me, I made a conscious decision to let them refine me. There were seasons of deep depression, moments where I questioned my worth, my voice, and my very existence. Yet, even when I felt invisible or overlooked, God saw me. His Word became my healing balm, my blueprint for reinvention, and my roadmap for recovery. I discovered a well of resilience I never knew existed.
The hit-and-run accident was a literal and symbolic collision that forced me to stop running from my true calling. Through pain, God revealed His purpose. Through rejection, He unlocked redirection. Every ‘no’ from man became a divine setup for God’s ‘yes.’ These challenges didn’t just shape me—they elevated me into a bold, unapologetic, and purpose-driven woman who now stands as a beacon of hope for other women who are navigating their own storms.
Let’s talk about the work you do. What do you specialize in and why should someone work with you over the competition?
At my core, I’m a Transformation Strategist, which leads to Speaking and Consulting, Clarity and Book Coaching services. I love to support women to get diamond clear about their purpose, unlock their brilliance, and confidently shine in their greatness.
I am a Certified Life Coach, but I don’t just coach from theory—I coach from experience. I’ve endured the test of time in a successful public administration and healthcare management professional career. An award-winning entrepreneur and best-selling author, I have been featured in multiple national magazines and special book projects. What a joy it is to be living my best life as I passionately serve and support women to live in their genius zone.
But it comes from the deep resilience anchored by my faith. After walking through the fire of personal storms of rejection, loss, abandonment, and divorce, I can affirm that my deep well of conviction and resilience, anchored in my unshakeable faith, is my superpower that enabled me to rebuild and transform my life with intentional clarity, confidence, strategy, and love. That’s what sets me apart. I know what it’s like to feel ashamed, lonely, and lost in the wilderness, stuck in survival mode, or unsure how to translate your calling into something impactful and profitable.
Women choose to work with me because I see what’s inside of them—even when they can’t see it themselves. I create a safe space where women can uncover their voice, craft their unique message, write their transformational books, and build their legacy with confidence. And I bring my full self—faith, strategy, and a touch of prophetic insight—to every coaching session, every stage I stand on, and every program I lead.
If you want cookie-cutter coaching, I’m not your girl. But if you’re ready for heart-centered inspiration, transformation-driven results, and spiritually-aligned guidance that calls you higher, then I’m your coach, your guest speaker, and your strategic partner in purpose.
What’s your best piece of advice for readers who desire to find success in their life?
Get clear, get confident, and get moving. Clarity is the foundation for everything because if you don’t know who you are and what you’re called to do, you’ll keep spinning your wheels, chasing what looks good instead of pursuing what’s divinely yours.
But clarity alone isn’t enough. You have to believe in yourself. Confidence is the fuel that keeps you going when doors close, friends fall away, or doubt tries to creep in. Once you’ve got clarity and confidence, the only thing left is to take action. Even small, imperfect steps will move you closer to your vision.
And here’s the most important part: Stay connected to God through it all. Your gifts, your business, your platform—it’s all part of your divine assignment. So build with God, not apart from Him. When you keep Him at the center, success isn’t just possible; it’s inevitable.
Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?
For me, success isn’t about titles, trophies, or even the size of my bank account. Success is the courage to continue and create a lasting impact and legacy. It’s knowing that my story, my voice, and my obedience to my calling have inspired someone else to believe again, dream again, and move boldly toward their purpose.
Success looks like influence, impact, and legacy. It’s raising up other women to walk in clarity and confidence, to write their own books, build their own brands, and create wealth that flows into the next generation. Success is watching my spiritual daughters, coaching clients, and mentees become trailblazers in their own right.
