About Me...
I’m a contemplative practitioner, prayer minister, attorney, author, mother, and – most importantly – a child of God. As Chief Visionary behind Live Unchained, our mission is to create spaces to pause, listen and respond to the presence of the Sacred in every day life. Learn more about my journey below.
Here's my story
From the time I was a little girl I have fond memories of running up and down the church in brightly colored dresses and with fancy braids dotted across my mane. I was a church kid, there was no doubt about that. But even though I grew up in the church, I didn’t really have a close relationship with God. God and I were like really, really great acquaintances. We’d see each other on Sunday and I'd speak in terse encounters right before I fell asleep, but that was pretty much the depth of our relationship.
God was a concept I believed in my head – but not in my heart. Â
Meanwhile, life moved along as it does. Loved ones were born...and some of those I loved passed away. In between the seasons of life I found myself constantly grasping for some way to determine my value in the world. And I quickly found I was good at, well...being good...at everything. This began my long and complicated relationship with "doing." Â
The result was that I hid my true self behind a mask of competence and busyness, convincing myself that if I could just get everything right, I’d finally be valuable. And if I was valuable, I'd finally be whole.
Â
My Breakthrough...
Fast forward many years when I was in one of the darkest seasons of my life that something inside of me cracked. IÂ realized that no matter how hard I tried, I could never be perfect or avoid pain in this world.
It was in this season, where by all measures I should have been shattered and completely broken, that God picked me up and set me free. God dusted off my unborn hope, stitched together my broken heart and anointed my head with an oh-so-sweet oil of joy. For the first time in my life, I allowed God to do what God had desired to do all along – to love me. Not just with any kind of love, but with a wild, radical, life-changing type of love.
It was in this season that the trajectory of my life changed. And out of this moment came my assignment – to walk with others who have been broken and bruised and help to equip and encourage them to walk in true healing and freedom … and to ultimately unleash the brilliance of life that can only come about with true intimacy with the Divine.
And, no, I don't believe in easy answers. I've survived an attempted carjacking, grieved the deaths of my father and sister, walked through a difficult divorce, and more. Instead of easy answers I’ve found deep truths in the midst of life’s hardest moments. These experiences have taught me to lean into God’s presence, embrace the mystery of faith, and discover the strength and healing that come from walking through the fire with my Beloved. It’s this hard-forged perspective that shapes my work and my passion for guiding others toward hope, connection, and wholeness.
