Hi, I'm Sarah!
Christian personal development coach, podcast host, wife, and mom of four boys. I help women and moms grow closer to God, heal from their past, and step boldly into the purpose He created them for.
If you had told me years ago that I’d one day be walking in a calling that helps women rediscover who they are in Christ, I don’t think I would have believed you.
I started out not knowing who I was or what to do with my life — and now, I get to live in the freedom and purpose God always intended for me.
My Story
I grew up in a Christian home and attended a Christian school. I was in church every time the doors were open (and sometimes when they weren’t — my mom led children’s ministry when I was young).
All my life I knew Jesus.
When I was seven, I was diagnosed with severe scoliosis, and at fourteen, I underwent major spinal surgery.
While my friends were off at youth camps, playing sports, and going on vacations, I was learning how to walk again. It wasn’t the childhood I had imagined — but even then, God was teaching me how to rely on His strength and to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go according to plan.
A year after my surgery, I went on a mission trip to Guatemala that changed my life. I thought I was going to share Jesus with others, but God used that experience to show me His heart — a heart that heals, restores, and meets us right where we are.
Finding My Way
As I entered adulthood, I walked through challenges that left me feeling unseen, rejected, and unsure of my worth. I carried wounds that shaped how I saw myself and how I interacted with others. I struggled to trust, to feel accepted, and to believe that God could still use me.
In my lowest moments, I tried to hold everything together on my own. But when I finally surrendered to God and let Him take control, He began piecing my life back together in ways I could never have done myself.
That’s when true healing began.
In time, God brought incredible restoration into my life — including my husband, Matt. He not only accepted and loved my first son as his own but has walked beside me as we’ve built a beautiful family with three more amazing boys. Through marriage and motherhood, God continued to teach me about grace, forgiveness, and unconditional love.
A Journey of Growth and Healing
As my relationship with God deepened, I also began a journey of personal development — not from a worldly place of hustle or self-reliance, but from a Biblical foundation. I started reading Scripture with fresh eyes, attending seminars, diving into personal growth resources, and seeking godly mentorship.
Through that process, I realized that faith and growth aren’t separate — they work together. God doesn’t call us to stay stuck in survival mode; He calls us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).
In 2023, I had one of the most meaningful moments of my life when I sat down with my oldest son and shared my full story for the first time.
It was such a powerful reminder that God really does make beauty from ashes.
Just a few months later, He revealed how I could use my testimony to help other women find healing too.
That’s when everything came full circle.
My mission and Purpose
Today, my mission is to help moms become who God has called them to be — to renew and refresh their souls with Biblical truth, overcome past pain, and find purpose beyond motherhood through personal growth and healthy, God-centered routines.
Through my coaching, podcast “Rooted Woman,” and the community of faith-filled women God has built around this mission, I get to watch transformation happen every day. Women begin to see themselves not through the lens of their past, but through the truth of God’s Word.
I believe that motherhood is holy work — but it’s not your only identity. You’re still a woman with dreams, purpose, and value. Taking care of yourself — spiritually, emotionally, and physically — isn’t selfish; it’s necessary. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and God desires for you to live fully, freely, and intentionally.
Why I Do What I Do
I know what it feels like to be broken, overlooked, and unsure of your purpose. I also know what it feels like to be restored, redeemed, and made new. That’s why I’m passionate about walking alongside women who are ready to experience that same transformation.
Everything I create — from my podcast and devotionals to my wellness coaching and Bible studies — is designed to help you deepen your faith, prioritize your well-being, and walk boldly in who God created you to be.
My prayer is that as you explore this space, you’ll feel encouraged, inspired, and reminded that your story isn’t over — it’s just beginning.
God is still writing something beautiful with your life.
