after years of betrayal, deception, and abuse:
I was exhausted and overwhelmed from juggling everything alone (partly because I didn’t want people to know how bad it was, partly because I simply didn’t know where to find safe help).
I struggled to find clarity — after going to pastoral counselors who weren’t trained in trauma or abuse and being told that I was being unforgiving when I asked for safety and protection.
I even threw a couple wildly popular marriage books across the room after reading authors who kept saying I needed to figure out how I’d contributed to my own harm.
...there are a dozen ways to try to heal after trauma and abuse.
You’ve probably already tried:
ignoring the anguish and pretending you’re just fine in hopes that things will get better with time.
scrolling endless reels about narcissistic abuse, or reading stacks of books and blogs about betrayal.
or even talking to your pastor, bible study leader, or women’s ministries director for advice (but it just didn’t get you past the pain).
and working with thousands of women who are determined to heal...
I recommend a different approach...
In fact, those fluffy shortcuts and quick fixes don’t work, because:
you need to first understand the core mindset that every abuser shares, no matter the environment.
you can’t heal fully without addressing the complex body/brain impact that trauma creates.
So what’s the key to navigating the jungle in your mind and piercing the fog so that you can live in confidence and clarity?
I guide women toward
using this one simple principle:
In order to heal…
we must gently address the traumatized patterns of
how our story has taught us to think.
…and I can show you the steps to take so you can transform from
weary and worn to fearless and free, too.
Stop hearing your abuser’s voice in your head (and wondering if it’s all your fault after all?)
Shatter toxic thought loops and recapture your authentic God-given autonomy?
Finally know what to look for in a safe and supportive community?
…all without getting stuck along the way or trying to become someone you’re not?
Go from confusion, brain fog, and betrayal
…to confidence, clarity, and connection in just 12 months!
"THIS IS A POWERFUL, EFFECTIVE WAY TO
TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE."
(hint: it’s everything you need to leave the trauma fog behind... for good)

You get one short, easy-to-digest video each week to help you internalize a new tool for your post-trauma growth.
(I've built in "breather weeks" too.)
Each bite-size concept is designed to help you confidently take your next micro-step toward clarity!

You’ve got questions.
I’ve got answers.
Your SHERO course unlocks new content every week for one year, to avoid overwhelming you with information.
I get it… investing in personal healing can feel low-priority compared to groceries and rent. That’s why I've split SHERO's tuition into 12 small monthly payments.
Think of it as one whole year of transformative guidance, plus 6 LIVE coaching sessions -- for less than four sessions with a therapist.
Absolutely! In the course material I’ll teach you step-by-step how to spot abusive patterns, so you can know 100% how to identify what you've been through.
Like any online resource, you’ll need to be able to connect to the internet using a computer, tablet, or phone.
Ideally, you’ll also want to print out your course workbook and journal pages.
Otherwise, nothing special... That’s it!
Awesome, therapy is great! (Unless it wasn't great for you, in which case... I'm so sorry!)
But SHERO is completely different from typical talk therapy or other popular counseling modalities.
You’ll find that SHERO equips you with practical insights and transformative tools you’ve probably never gotten from a therapist.
You’ll get new bite-size learning content every week for the next 12 months. An hour or two a month will be enough to make a transformational impact on your healing.
NOPE... and maybe yes? I'm sure your schedule is bonkers just like mine. So I pre-recorded all 36 video lessons so you can watch them whenever it’s best for you.
BUT... If you opt-in for the 1x payment BONUS with 6 LIVE group coaching calls... well... those six calls are LIVE! You'll get an email with the time and date of the call, which is usually the third Sunday of each month.
SHERO is designed to help YOU heal, no matter what environment you're in. If you’re in a difficult relationship, SHERO will bring you comfort and clarity to become your best self.
Definitely NOT! This is a terrific time to give yourself the gift of transformation.
Whatever you’re still carrying from “before” is worth identifying and processing, in order to rebuild and rewire your thought patterns even now.
I’m confident you’ll love SHERO! But if you don’t, just email me within 7 days of enrollment for a full refund, no questions asked.
If payments are declined, your account will lose access to the course. We cannot refund for digital course content after the first 7 days.
When you buy something on this website, it'll show on your credit card statement as simply WTWLD.
