Been There, Learned That | Life & Leadership Coach | Strategies For Personal Growth

Welcome! This is the podcast for women devoted to Jesus, their families, and the pursuit of meaningful work and ministry.

These episodes were recorded during my years as a full-time life and leadership coach, and the wisdom shared here is just as relevant today as when it was first spoken. Since then, my work has grown and expanded into something new. In 2025, I launched Kind Birdie, a faith-centered brand for women who are ready to plan with intention, rest without guilt, and live anchored in purpose rather than driven by hustle.

At Kind Birdie, we create planners, journals, and coaching tools designed to help you show up fully for your faith, your people, and your calling. We believe a light heart and an anchored soul aren't just possible; they're what you were made for.

Whether you found this podcast through a search or you've been here from the beginning, I'm glad you're here. These conversations are a reflection of the same heart behind everything I do: helping women lead from the inside out.
