Alongside her personal coaching programs and courses, she serves as the program director for Freedom Movement, a nonprofit organization providing trauma-informed, Biblically-sound, and spirit-filled trainings and coaching certifications. Her and her husband, Matt, and two children, Micaiah and Amara, live in the Tennessee countryside just south of Nashville and serve at the The Belonging Co in Columbia, TN.
