Share your journey and when you got tired of repeating the same cycles over and over again and not getting different results.
For years, I found myself trapped in the same painful cycles—seeking validation in toxic relationships, struggling with rejection, and feeling like I was never enough. No matter how much I tried to move forward, I kept ending up in the same place—hurt, ashamed, and questioning my worth.
Describe the turning point in your life.
The turning point came when I realized that I was fighting the same battles with the same mindset. I kept expecting different results without addressing the deep wounds that kept me stuck. I had to ask myself, Why do I keep attracting brokenness? Why do I keep allowing myself to be treated this way? That’s when I understood that I couldn’t heal by covering up my pain—I had to confront it.
Tell us about The Naked Truth Redeemed movement.
Naked Truth Redeemed is a ministry and movement dedicated to helping women heal from rejection, shame, trauma, and toxic cycles by embracing their true identity in Christ. It was birthed from my own journey of overcoming brokenness and discovering that God had seen me, loved me, and called me—even in my lowest moments.
Through mentorship, faith-based healing, and transparent conversations, Naked Truth Redeemed creates a safe space for women to remove the masks, confront their past, and step into the freedom and purpose God has for them. Too many women suffer in silence, carrying wounds from past relationships, childhood rejection, and painful experiences that make them feel unseen and unworthy. This ministry is about breaking those chains and guiding women toward restoration, self-worth, and a deeper relationship with God. Whether through events, workshops, speaking engagements, or community support, my mission with Naked Truth Redeemed is to remind every woman that no matter what she’s been through, she is seen, loved, and redeemed. It’s time to step out of shame and into grace, healing, and purpose.
He Sees You: The Naked Truth: Redeemed can be found on Amazon.

As a Certified Life Coach, what are some of the main reasons women are coming to you today?
As a Certified Life Coach, I’ve found that many women come to me because they feel stuck in cycles of rejection, shame, and emotional pain—often without realizing the root cause. Some of the main reasons women seek my guidance include:
- Healing from Past Trauma & Rejection – Many women have experienced deep wounds from childhood, toxic relationships, or broken family dynamics. They struggle with feelings of unworthiness, abandonment, and self-doubt, and they’re looking for healing so they can move forward.
- Breaking Toxic Cycles – Whether it’s unhealthy relationships, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging behaviors, women come to me because they’re tired of repeating the same painful patterns. They want to set boundaries, regain their confidence, and attract healthy connections in their lives.
- Faith & Identity Struggles – So many women feel unseen, unheard, and unsure of their purpose. They come to me to reconnect with their faith, rediscover their God-given identity, and step into the life they were meant to live.
- Single Motherhood & Life Transitions – Many women, especially single mothers, seek guidance on navigating life’s challenges while balancing faith, family, and personal growth. They want to learn how to thrive, not just survive.
- Finding Purpose & Confidence – Women often feel called to do more but don’t know where to start. Whether it’s stepping into ministry, writing a book, starting a business, or simply learning to love themselves again, they need clarity, encouragement, and accountability to move forward.
Through Naked Truth Redeemed and my coaching, I help women heal, rebuild, and walk boldly in their purpose, knowing that God sees them, loves them, and has greater things ahead for them.
Reflecting back, what has been the greatest lesson you learned?
The greatest lesson I’ve learned is that my pain had a purpose.
For so long, I carried shame, rejection, and unworthiness, believing that my brokenness defined me. I tried to cover up the wounds, seeking validation in the wrong places, only to find myself repeating the same painful cycles. But through my healing journey, I discovered that God never wastes anything—not even the hardest seasons of our lives.
I learned that true freedom comes from confronting the pain, not avoiding it. Healing isn’t about pretending the past didn’t happen; it’s about acknowledging it, learning from it, and allowing God to transform it into something powerful. The very things I once wanted to hide—my past mistakes, heartbreaks, and struggles—became the foundation of my purpose.
Now, I don’t just see my journey as something I survived—I see it as something God is using to help others heal. That’s the message behind He Sees You and Naked Truth Redeemed—you are not forgotten, you are not too broken, and your story isn’t over. What once hurt you can be the very thing that heals others.
