It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1
Hey there, Friend,
If you landed here from the homepage—welcome back.
And if you’re just joining me now, I’m so glad you’re here.
Whether you’re hungry for more of God, worn out from the weight of life, or simply curious about what true freedom looks like—I believe you’re here on purpose.
You may have heard me say this already, but it bears repeating: The freedom Jesus secured isn’t just for eternity—it’s for this side of heaven, too.
And it’s not something we have to strive for. It’s something we’re invited to step into, one truth-filled decision at a time.
That’s why I create what I create—To help the stuck break free and to help the free stay rooted in Truth.
Whether I’m writing, speaking, organizing spaces, or crafting declarations—I do it all with one heartbeat: to awaken freedom, stir purpose, and help others walk boldly in the truth that sets them free.
I wish we could sit across the table over coffee and walk through this together. Maybe someday we will. But until then, I’ve created spaces where we can connect, grow, and move forward—together.
You weren’t made to strive or just survive.
You were made to soar!
With love and prayers for freedom,
~Kimberly

a inside glimpse...
I’m a wife, a mama to four grown sons (two now married!), and someone who knows the tension between striving and surrender.
Spending time with my husband, Markel, and our sons—Talor, Tommas, Oliver, and Isaiah—is one of my greatest joys. I’ve spent years intentionally educating our boys, building a life of faith and order within our home, and helping others do the same through writing, speaking, and consulting.
Organization, structure, and strategic planning light me up. I’m wired for clarity, and I thrive behind the scenes bringing calm to chaos. I’m also a lifelong fitness enthusiast and a deep thinker who loves to learn.
I love hearing God’s voice and helping others tune into His Truth.
And I believe deeply that emotional freedom isn’t just possible - it’s promised.
My goal is to help you:
-
Renew your mind
-
Break emotional strongholds
-
Align your thoughts and words with God’s Word
-
Walk boldly in the identity Jesus died to give you
I may be a little quiet, but I’m fierce about freedom—and I’m here for your journey.
You weren’t made to strive or just survive. You were made to soar—boldly, joyfully, and unshakably free in the truth of who God says you are.
