Hi! I hope someday our paths cross, but until that day, here is a peek into my world.

 

I am most excited about helping people thrive in all that God has created them to be and do. I provide solutions that close the gap between where people are and where they want to be.

 

Over the past 30 years, I have helped people step into their God-given potential through various means: ministry positions, organized and spoken at retreats and conferences, written a Bible study and a few books, helped my husband start a nonprofit called Family Builders, began a devotional style Blog called God’s Word Gives Hope, and help launch the companion God's Word Gives Hope Podcast. 

 

In 2019, I took a position as a Leadership Coach for Chick-fil-A and fell in love with the one-on-one concentrated efforts to help others excel. In 2022, I launched my private coaching business, JSC Life & Leadership Coaching, LLC, ICF Certified.

 

Christ is my Center, and family is my backbone. My husband of 32 years makes me a better person. He is my collaborator, companion, compass, cheerleader, coach, and he would like to think comedian. We have two amazing adult children, Sydney and Silas. We now also have one bonus son and a soon-to-be bonus daughter.

​

We are from Sarasota, Florida, and currently reside in Cartersville, Georgia.
