Bring Hope, Healing, and Purpose Through the Power of Story!


Life doesn’t come with a roadmap for grief, but we don’t have to navigate it alone. Through heartfelt storytelling, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement, I guide audiences through the messy, unpredictable journey of loss—helping them find hope, healing, and renewed purpose.

Whether you’re a faith community, a conference organizer, or a group supporting those in grief, my message will remind your audience that even in the deepest pain, joy is still possible.
