About

For years as a corporate employee and then entrepreneur, I was a chronic overachiever who majored in “grinding” and held an honorary degree from Team No Sleep University. I knew how to deliver results, but it came with a cost I couldn’t keep paying.

A series of radical encounters with the Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit turned my life and leadership inside out. I discovered what it meant to partner with God—not just believe in Him—and began learning how to work by the power (and at the pace) of His grace.

That revelation changed everything. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to help others exchange grind for grace so they can create lives, businesses, and cultures that truly flourish. While my story is rooted in faith, my work serves a wide range of leaders and organizations, whether they follow Jesus or are simply open to building cultures marked by clarity, peace, purpose, and sustainable success.

Some fun facts about me:

• I’ve been with my husband Phil since the age of 16, and we’ve been married for 26 years
• I’m the mother of 3 daughters from 3 different generations (they are 7 and 9 years apart!)
• I’m a rare native Floridian who still lives in Florida (in the Fort Lauderdale area)
• I have a healthy addiction to sunshine, water, and majestic mountain views
• Cape Town, South Africa, is my second home, and I dream of periodic 3-month long stays there (I frequently visit through the work of our foundation)
• I serve as the Executive Advisor for the company (Kingdom Driven LLC) I founded and previously served as CEO – my husband is the current CEO!
• My Top 5 Clifton Strengths are: Relator, Activator, Communication, Connectedness, and Strategic
