=====

I once was all of these things. I found redemption in my own story when I boarded a plane from Wichita, Kansas to Baltimore, Maryland with one suitcase, a journal and a plan. Leaving behind a life of trauma and shame I am firm in the belief that my life represents God’s work in building beauty from ashes. I believe that my past allows me to relate too and remind others that they are not alone in their journey.

More recently I wanted a way to connect more deeply with the population I felt closest too: women. So the Restoration Experience was born. The Restoration Experience is a ministry that walks women out of their messy middle and into their own personal restoration.

I speak about the effects of shame that keep women from living out their victorious calling. I teach women how they can get free from the shame-cycle and walk fully in restoration and grace. Through the pain and suffering over my own story and the victory I’ve found I’ve been able to encourage others to dig deep into who they are in Christ, and find the victory in their own story. Passionate about storytelling and helping others develop their stories, I speak love and truth into the lives of those I speak to through scripture, life experiences and the way that God is using my own personal restoration.

I’d love to share my story while encouraging and calling women to action in their own stories at your next women’s event!

I am a chosen mama to a sweet young man named Peter! I live off strong cold brew with the latest flavor craze and a good book! I love dinosaurs, puzzles, board games and people! When I am not sharing my story from a stage or helping women through their own messy stories you can find me curled up with a good book, listening to the latest true crime podcast or hosting friends around my kitchen table for dinner or game night!
