Becoming Free: My Story of Surrender, Identity, and Daily Grace

Today, I’m a Kingdom Christian Life Coach, Author, Blogger, Musician, and Freedom Facilitator. But more than any title, I’m a woman who’s been set free by God’s grace, and I now walk daily in the identity He gave me, not the labels I once lived under.

My journey hasn’t been easy.
For most of my life, I chased approval through performance, quietly breaking under the weight of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and pain I didn’t know how to name.

In 2019, everything began to shift.

I experienced a breakthrough through forgiveness; of others, of myself, and of the past I had carried too long. Through that release, I discovered something deeper than relief. I found restoration. I found God’s unconditional love, not as a concept, but as a healing presence I couldn’t deny.

That freedom didn’t come in a moment. It came one day at a time.
Through prayer, coaching, worship, and writing, I slowly began to rediscover who I was, not based on what I did, but who God says I am. That identity was always there… I had just buried it under years of striving.

In 2023, I said “yes” to God’s call in a whole new way; stepping away from a 50-year career in accounting to pursue full-time ministry and faith-based coaching. It was bold. It was scary. And it was the most life-giving yes I’ve ever said.

Since then, I’ve guided Christian men and women through spiritual transitions, emotional exhaustion, and identity confusion, helping them rediscover grace, rebuild confidence, and live free. Not by trying harder, but by surrendering deeper.

I’m also a published author of two books, Where Faith Takes Flight: One Day at a Time, and  my new 31-day devotional The Red-Letter Code: A 31-Day Journey: Unlocking the Blueprint to Your Identity in Christ. I continue to share my journey on my blog, One Day at a Time, and worship through songwriting and music, often with my guitar or piano, and always from a heart that’s been healed.

When I’m not coaching or writing, you’ll probably find me walking and hiking on nature trails, or sitting by the beach, anywhere I can pause and listen for God’s whispers in the stillness.

  • You are not broken. You’re becoming.

  • And I’d be honored to walk with you toward the freedom and identity that’s already yours in Christ.

So wherever you are on your journey, know this:


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
— Philippians 4:13 NKJV
