I empower you to do this by mapping out the basic and practical steps needed to do so, and supporting you via coaching as you do. I believe that this work is extremely important because people deserve to know that they should not die thinking that some warped label somebody once gave them is all there is to them. They should not die without discovering all that there truly is to them. We should not die full of unreleased potential. We deserve our chance in this life. We deserve our chance to bloom and to know our God-given value, and to let that tremor ripple across our environment to impact others. This is my passion and the key reason that I do what I do!
