God created each of us with this distinctive life message to share. But sometimes the noise of this world drowns out our messages. These busy days of chasing children and managing our homes, the expectations of employers, the voices of friends, family, or negative influences, it all tends to cast doubts on our worth.
I’ve lived this. For years I believed the lie that my words didn’t matter, that I didn’t matter. I was stuck in this emotional pit–couldn’t go forward, but couldn’t go back. I spent way too many years in that in-between, stalled-out in that empty, lonely space. With this overwhelming burden of responsibility and a broken-down support system, there was no time to even consider that my story could make a difference.
I imagine that must really hurt God’s heart when we believe what we have to say isn’t important or valued.
I wonder what would happen if we all just took off our life-is-just-fine masks and we spoke our truths. What would it feel like if we no longer had to compartmentalize our lives–if the life on the outside could actually line up with the person on the inside.
That’s what our coaching experiences are all about, introducing hope. In this place, in this experience, encouragers find their own encouragement, inspiration, and healing conversations.
We don’t know how powerful our story is, until we share it.
~Jeff Goins
Are you ready to be focused forward {by your goals and dreams} rather than pushed back {by your doubts and fears}? Together, we’ll take a look at where you are today, where you want to go tomorrow, and what you need to do now to get there. {Because you have to understand where you are and learn what you need to do in order to choose where you land.} While I will challenge your self-awareness, I offer an environment that breeds positive change.We’ll create a plan and I’ll cheer you on while holding you accountable.
Through teaching sessions, group exercises, and interactive activities, you’ll learn how to:
- Open your heart and be honest with yourself.
- Identify toxic beliefs that twist your thinking.
- Pull down mental traps and strip away their false sense of power.
- Connect within healthy community for accountability and growth.
- Move beyond lingering hurts.
- Uncover and listen to your true voice.
- Reclaim stalled dreams and the passion of your heart.
- Tell your story and make your life count.

Write Where It Hurts: Writing as a Healing Tool
Audio sample (2 minutes) here: Write Where It Hurts Workshop
Many women use journaling as a form of self-therapy, but it often amounts to little more than unburdening. Without divine intervention, journaling in itself doesn’t usually lead to a genuine healing connection. Write Where It Hurts gives women a practical technique. They learn to use expressive writing together with biblical truth to reconcile painful experiences with God’s purpose for their lives. This workshop offers simple, yet transformative writing exercises in a safe and supportive environment.
Memories are powerful. Negative memories, toxic. Repressed trauma and emotional grief deeply affect a woman’s heart, relationships, and life. Write Where It Hurts grants women the much-needed permission to sift through our life experiences for the deeper meaning. The workshops are designed for any woman, regardless of writing experience.
Participants learn to:
- release the stories of a painful past
- move beyond deep-rooted hurts
- uncover faulty thinking
- grasp the comfort of the sovereignty of God
- make changes that last
A Purpose for My Pain: Healing Begins at Perspective
Like the disciples who asked Jesus about a man blind from birth, sometimes we need to blame someone for the pain in our lives. But we have the wrong question. Rather than, “Why me?” we need to ask, “What’s next?” This workshop, with writing exercises, challenges women to reengage life from a divine perspective. God can use all things for good–even pain and suffering. Women learn how their lives are providentially connected with others and how to invest in the lives of other hurting women.
Participants learn to:
- examine life experiences from a new perspective
- develop the ability to see God working in your life
- focus on what matters
- transform pain into life-defining purpose
- make a difference in life
