I’m excited for you to join me in this journey of finding freedom and purpose within your faith and life struggles! I wouldn’t be here to help you if I didn’t, first, go through the crazy adventure to discover who I was created to be. It wasn’t easy, as I had many thoughts of self doubt and feelings of inadequacy. It’s taken me years to become who I am today, and I’m still a work in progress!
Eight years ago, my life came to a screeching halt. I had a successful hair business consisting of clients I had served for over a decade. I was extremely passionate about my career, but I knew that door was coming to a close. I couldn’t physically work the long hours with the neck issues that had me in constant pain. I knew it was only a matter of time. The only problem was… there was nothing I loved more than walking with my clients through their seasons of life, offering a listening ear or an encouraging word, knowing that I made a difference in their life both physically and emotionally.
So I’m sure you’re ready for the “screeching halt” part of the story!? Here it is… My husband, Paul, and I had one bad night that led me to file for separation and move to Arizona with my parents. Talk about a “dry” season! Ugh, and yes it was in the summer…four long, hot, weary months in the desert! What happened in those months prepared me for God’s new plan for my life. As my chaotic life stopped moving dead in its tracks, my eyes started to open. Layers upon layers of gunk that I had built up were slowly being dealt with and removed. And yes it was messy! Through the tears, counseling, and following through with the hard task of working on myself, I found a freedom I had never experienced before. As I worked through the pieces, I started to see my life in a new kind of way, not just my label of cosmetologist. I had previously and unconsciously neglected my other roles… wife and mom. After digging in and working through the hard stuff, Paul and I were reunited just after our 12 year wedding anniversary.
That next season I got to learn what it looked like to serve my husband and my son. I may have had to work through the pride of not being successful financially, but I saw how important it was to “just be” and to be present in the lives of those closest to me. We enjoyed cooking together and went on adventurous hikes as a family. I started writing, something I enjoyed doing when I was younger (before all those gunky layers.) Now that I saw life in a new light, I not only freely wrote, but also took pictures with my talented husband, who has taught me his long time photography skills. I have enjoyed intertwining them, adding a picture for each devotion in my book, “Captivating Creation: Seasons.” (Click on the link below to learn more about the book study I created just for YOU.)
My serving season inspired me to want MORE. I decided to go back to school, so I could become a life coach to fulfill my purpose of helping women thrive. As I started the process, I went through a deep discovery of who I was purposed to be. I had already ventured to the pit of my well of messiness during Paul and my separation, so this was a much different process. I was ready and willing to move forward to live out the best version of myself so the one life I had been given wasn’t wasted, but had an insane amount of worth.
