hello there.
I’m really glad you found your way here.
I created this space years ago as a way to keep far-away family connected to our everyday comings and goings. Back then, it was simple and practical. Somewhere along the way, it became something more. It grew right along with me.
These days, I’m a coach, writer, worship leader, and lover of good books and meaningful conversations. I’ve spent years in leadership across education, ministry, and the business world—each one teaching me something about what it means to lead well without losing yourself along the way.
I care deeply about faith that’s honest.
Leadership that’s aligned.
And lives that make room for both purpose and rest.
And words. I’ve always loved words. So, I write.
My work is shaped by a lifelong curiosity about how people grow—spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. I’m especially passionate about mindset, emotional health, spiritual maturity, and helping women live from a place of clarity and confidence instead of fear or overthinking.
You’ll often hear me say this: what you believe shapes how you live and lead. And Jesus changes everything.
Those two ideas sit at the center of everything I do.
Through The Purpose Project, I coach and equip women to live and lead with confidence, courage, and intention—grounded in faith and rooted in truth. It’s where my teaching, coaching, and leadership work lives.
This site, though, is a bit different.
This is my quiet corner of the internet–a place for thoughtful conversations about the everyday moments that shape us more than we realize.
Curiosity is encouraged. So is honesty.
You’ll find a little bit of everything here.
Hopes.
Dreams.
Questions.
Stories of adventure.
Occasional randomness—because that’s just who I am. 🙂
You’ll also find reflections on faith, leadership, and emotional health, shared honestly and without pretense.
And if you’re here because you sense God inviting you into something deeper, to live brave or more aligned—I see you.
Thanks for being here. Truly.
-Valerie
