For more than 20 years, you may have known me for faith and fitness.
But looking back, I can see God was using every part of that journey to prepare me for what I’m doing today.
He took me from tired, overweight, and out of shape to a fitness champion, cover model, bestselling author, and podcaster.
But the greatest transformation wasn’t my body.
It was learning to trust God with my yes.
I felt old at 30. I feel young at 57.
And I believe if God put something in you, it is not too late to become the woman He’s calling you to be.
Here’s a look at what God has done with my yes.
After walking this path with thousands of women, I know this: we don’t need more worldly answers. We need God’s truth for the real life we’re living.
That is my mission. That is my calling.
God has given me a heart for taking what His Word says and helping women apply it to the moments that actually make up our lives. The questions we can’t answer. The decisions we don’t know how to make. The thoughts we can’t seem to quiet. The seasons we never saw coming.
I’m grateful for every door God has opened, from magazine covers and bestselling books to The 700 Club, Jesus Calling, and millions of podcast downloads. But the platform was never the purpose.
The purpose has always been pointing women back to Him.
And that’s why today, everything I do comes back to one simple message:
Whatever you’re facing, go to God first.
Beyond the books, courses, and the podcast, I am a woman who deeply loves her family.
My dad’s health issues were the catalyst that first made me get serious about my own well-being, and as the oldest of five, I learned early that God and family are the foundation of everything.
Twenty-seven years ago, I met my husband and his two sons—who are as much mine as if I had them myself.
Since then, God has blessed us with our beautiful daughter and two precious grandchildren.
They are my daily reminder that life isn't about platform; it’s about purpose. Whether I’m at my desk or enjoying time with my family, my mission remains the same: to live God’s way and help you do the same.
There is a saying that the best person to help someone is the person who has already been where they are.
I believe God has uniquely positioned me to help you — because I have been through so much and I carry a deep empathy for women who grew up in abuse, who have struggled with identity, confidence, and body image, and who are trying to go for the dreams God has placed in their hearts.
You are not too old and it isn't too late.
Remember whatever you're facing, Go To God First!
My podcast is a great place to start.
