Faith Journey & Calling

 

I identify first and foremost as a child of God. I was saved in 2007, and in 2010, God began a deeper work of spiritual transformation in my life at Faith Renewed Church in Mauldin, South Carolina. Through biblical teaching, serving others, and learning to trust God’s direction, my faith began to grow in ways I never expected.

During this season, I served as a Hospitality Leader and eventually stepped outside my comfort zone to lead a women’s Bible study group I called Transformation. Teaching Scripture was never something I imagined myself doing, but God used that season to deepen my relationship with Him, develop my heart for women, and begin revealing a calling I couldn’t yet fully see.

I also had the opportunity to serve with Switch, a local faith-based organization addressing human trafficking and sexual exploitation—an experience that further opened my eyes to the importance of reaching women and girls with truth, hope, and compassion.

In 2018, my husband and I followed God’s leading to Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church in Easley, South Carolina. What initially felt like an uncertain transition became another lesson in obedience. Then, after three years of resisting God’s prompting, I stepped out in faith again in 2021 to begin leading middle school girls and discipling the next generation through biblical truth.

That same year, after 39 years in the workforce, I retired and entered a completely new season of life and ministry. For someone who had always been fiercely independent, surrendering my plans and trusting God’s direction was not easy.

Looking back, I can see that God was connecting the pieces all along—women, girls, discipleship, transformation, and identity in Christ. What once seemed like separate seasons were preparing me for the work He would eventually call me to through Radically Sweet Transformation.

Family, Healing & Restoration

I am a wife, mother, and grandmother—roles I treasure deeply. My husband and I have been married for 27 years, and together we share a blended family of three children and five grandchildren, including our first granddaughter, born in July 2026.

Family has been one of God’s greatest gifts in my life. Through marriage, motherhood, and grand motherhood, I have witnessed His faithfulness in both beautiful and difficult seasons. These relationships continue to shape my heart, strengthen my faith, and influence the way I minister to women and girls across generations.

My ministry journey has also included serving with Edith’s House of Recovery, a faith-based ministry serving women overcoming addiction. Although the ministry closed in 2025, the lives touched and the stories of healing and restoration continue to hold a meaningful place in my journey.

The name Radically Sweet Transformation reflects something I have experienced personally: sometimes transformation begins in circumstances that feel anything but sweet. Yet when God meets us in those places, He can bring healing, restoration, growth, gratitude, and a renewed understanding of who we are in Him.

Having walked through trauma in my own life, I understand that healing is not always quick, simple, or the same for everyone. God has used truth, surrender, time, safe relationships, and His faithfulness to bring restoration in my own story.

That journey is part of why I am passionate about creating spaces where women and girls can feel seen, supported, encouraged, and reminded that their experiences do not define their identity.

Our identity is ultimately found in Christ—and healing can become part of the story God uses to help us become who He created us to be.

Writing, Coaching & Becoming Her

In 2024, the Lord called me to write for Him—another step far outside my comfort zone. Until then, my writing had mostly been limited to journaling. Through prayer and repeated prompting, God invited me into a new season of obedience, growth, and ministry.

That obedience resulted in my first Christian book, What Was I Made For?, self-published in October 2025. As the message and ministry continued to grow, so did my understanding of the question at the heart of it all.

The book is now becoming Whose Am I?

Because before we can truly understand who we are, we must understand Whose we are.

Its message remains centered on identity in Christ, healing, purpose, biblical truth, and becoming who God created us to be.

During this same season, God continued adding new pieces to the calling. I became a Certified Christian Life Coach through the International Christian Coaching Association (ICCA). In 2026, I expanded my training by becoming Trauma-Informed Coach Certified and a Certified Youth Mental Health Coach.

These certifications have strengthened my ability to serve women and girls with greater awareness of trauma, emotional well-being, life experiences, and the unique challenges facing young people—while remaining rooted in a Christ-centered approach to coaching, discipleship, and personal growth.

I often describe this journey as God handing me puzzle pieces one at a time. I don’t always understand where a piece belongs when He gives it to me, but I am learning that He already sees the completed picture. My responsibility is to keep walking in obedience and trust.

One of those next pieces is The Becoming Her Collective, launching in January 2027.

The Becoming Her Collective will create intentional opportunities for women and girls to gather around truth, testimonies, tables, meaningful conversations, mentoring, and transformational relationships. It is an extension of the heart behind Radically Sweet Transformation—helping one generation reach, encourage, and strengthen the next.

Radically Sweet Transformation exists to encourage women and girls to:

  • Live rooted in Christ
  • Understand Whose they are
  • Experience healing through biblical truth
  • Grow in spiritual and emotional well-being
  • Build healthy, meaningful relationships
  • Walk confidently in their God-given identity and purpose
