  • learn about mindfulness, self-care, and other mental health boosters
  • deal with depression and anxiety (because you are never alone)
  • figure out school, relationships, and life in a sometimes overwhelming world
  • understand the good and bad of social media
  • develop an authentic relationship with God and deepen your faith

Looking for Soul Restoration?

Available Now!

​Restore My Soul dives into the Psalms and uses modern day stories to illustrate how relevant they are today. Restore My Soul reminds readers that God loves, protects, and provides for us in all our emotions—the beautiful, wonderful moments and the gut-wrenching, terrifying moments. He never leaves us. The psalmists knew this, and they took everything to God—yes, their praise and rejoicing, but also their anger and sorrow. God is faithful in everything we face and feel. This truth can truly restore our souls.

I’ve been searching my whole life for beauty. Not in the world—there’s plenty of that — in the crimson of a cardinal’s feather, in the sound of waves crashing along a shore, in the melody of a Beatles’ ballad, or in a Chagall stained glass window. The world is filled with beauty, but me, well that was another story. It took me years to discover my true beauty, to fully grasp I am made in the image of my Creator, and therefore, I am beautiful. The incredible thing is…so are you. You were marvelously made by God to inspire awe. No matter what the world tries to tell you, no matter what you try to tell yourself. No one can rob you of the incredible true identity God instilled in you. I tell stories (through books, blogs, and speaking) in hopes of helping you discover what took me so long to see: your beautiful true reflection in Christ.
I love anything and everything French, love to travel, can't go a day without chocolate and music, am madly in love with my husband, adore my kiddos, but most of all I love Jesus. I'm so grateful you're here!

​We live in a world of hustle, comparison, expectations, and worry. Do you feel it? Yet Jesus invites us into a life of rest, peace, and joy.

Reading your Bible will give you hope, strength, courage, patience, peace, purpose, and direction.
