Have you ever had that nagging feeling that something was missing? That even though things on the outside were going well, something on the inside felt… off?
That was me.
I had just opened my own financial firm. Revenue was strong. I was checking all the boxes of success. But deep down, I felt like I wasn’t helping people the way I was meant to. Something inside me kept whispering, there’s more.
Then one day, a coach asked me a question that changed everything:
"What could you do all day long and love it?"
Without hesitation, I answered, “Write business plans.”
She smiled and said, “That’s it.”
That one question unlocked something in me. I tapped into my coaching background, launched a beta group around writing business plans, and quickly discovered something surprising: Most people didn’t just want a business plan—they wanted a business that made an impact.
That insight became the seed of what is now Called for Impact Coaching. Through this journey, I found the missing piece I’d been searching for. I love what I do. Coaching Christian women over 50 to launch coaching and consulting businesses isn’t just fulfilling—it’s the thing I was called to do.
Recently, I saw a post titled “50 Questions to Find Your Vision.” And while I respect the intention, I couldn’t help but shake my head.
You don’t need 50 questions. You just need one.
What could you do all day long and love it?
That question, when answered honestly, can change everything.
Vision isn’t out there somewhere, hiding behind a long list of questions or someone else’s idea of success.
Your purpose-led vision is already within you. You just need to pause, look inward, and listen.
In my coaching programs, people often tell me that discovering their vision was the most transformational part of the journey. It used to surprise me—but now I hear it all the time.
Life has a way of dimming the light inside of us. Responsibilities, disappointments, and the noise of other people’s opinions can make it hard to remember who we really are. But that light is still there. You are still called. You are still here for impact.
And it would be my honor to help you find that spark again.
If this message resonates with you, let’s talk. I offer a free Vision Consultation where we can explore that one powerful question together—and help you take your first step toward the life and business you were truly created for.

You don’t need 50 questions.
Just one.
And a little bit of courage to answer it and take action.
Just one.
And a little bit of courage to answer it and take action.
A few weeks ago, right after a holiday, my husband came home around 8 p.m. with a letter in his hand. I could tell he wasn’t happy.
The letter was unsigned and lengthy. It came from someone who had visited our area for the holiday and felt compelled to share their opinion about how we were taking care of our yard. According to them, we should replace our dead bushes, consider hiring help, and recognize that our neighbors’ homes look “much better” than ours. I’m giving you the kind version—the actual letter was much more pointed.
I skimmed it, set it on the counter, and told my husband we had bigger things going on. At the time, we were walking through a tough situation with a family member. That took priority. We don’t face many family issues, but when we do, we rally hard and stay close.
Now that the family matter is resolved, I’ve given the letter a little more thought—but honestly, I haven’t reread it. And truthfully, nothing in it was factually wrong. Yes, we have dead bushes. Yes, our neighbors’ homes are more manicured. And yes, we are incredibly blessed to live in a beautiful home in a wonderful neighborhood.
But being “right” isn’t the point.
The bigger truth is this: It’s never helpful to speak ill of others—whether in person, behind their backs, or in anonymous letters. It doesn’t uplift. It doesn’t bring life.
I feel Called for Impact, and I’ve built a coaching business on that very principle. I help people launch revenue-generating businesses using their God-given brilliance. I pray daily that I’m doing the work I’ve been called to do—helping others walk in their purpose. And nowhere in that mission is there time to notice someone’s bushes—let alone take time to write a letter about them.
As Pastor Michael often says, our job is to meet people with love. When we do that, we don’t speak poorly of them. We don’t know what battles they’re fighting. And we don’t need to. The old saying applies here: Turn the other cheek.
I don’t know who wrote the letter, and I honestly hope I never find out. But it’s served as a great reminder: When you’re walking in purpose, distractions will come. Criticism will come. That’s not a sign to shrink—it’s a sign you’re moving in the right direction.
There’s a quote I love (originally from Rachel Hollis): “What people say about you is none of your business.” Once you truly understand that, you gain the freedom to step fully into your calling.
In my coaching program, we talk about this nearly every day. One of the biggest roadblocks for purpose-driven entrepreneurs is fear—fear of what others might say or think. That fear keeps them from taking bold action, even when that action could help others.
These dead bushes—and that letter—have become a powerful example for me. Maybe they will for you, too.
Because here’s the truth: the better you do in life, the higher you rise, the more people will try to bring you down. When I lived in a trailer house in my early 20s, we had a dead bush in the front yard the entire time. Guess what? No one sent me a letter. 😉
So here’s my call to action:
If you ever find yourself tempted to speak negatively about someone—whether directly or by passing along what “others are saying”—pause. Ask yourself: Is this from God? Or is this something else? Speaking poorly of others is never helpful. Ever.
And if someone has spoken poorly over you—let it go. It truly has nothing to do with where you are at. It’s a reflection of where they are at.
If you’re on your knees daily, pursuing your purpose, walking in your call for impact—get ready. Because forces will come against you. But take heart. You are not alone.
As for our family—we’ll get those bushes out eventually, probably once the cows stop coming and the 13-hour work days settle down. We’ll read the letter one last time, toss it in the fire, and sit in front of our beautiful home, full of love, with grateful hearts.
Romans 12:17–18 (TPT)
“Never hold a grudge or try to get even but plan your life around the noblest way to benefit others. Do your best to live as everybody’s friend.”
And you, my friend?
You are Called for Impact. Let’s go.
If you’ve ever felt like you were meant for more—more impact, more purpose, more income—but you’re spinning your wheels trying to figure it all out… you’re not alone. That’s exactly where a business coach comes in. Let’s break it down.A Business Coach Helps You Get Clear, Stay Focused, and Take Action
Business coaching isn’t just about pep talks or mindset shifts—although both are powerful tools in the process. It’s about results.
A great coach helps you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you’re called to be. Whether you’re just getting started or trying to grow something that already exists, you don’t have to do it alone.
I Know Coaching Works—Because It Saved My Business
Years ago, my financial firm was struggling. Sales were way down. I was burned out and honestly unsure if I could keep going.
I took a huge leap and hired a high-ticket coach—when it felt like the last thing I could afford. But I also knew I couldn’t afford not to do something. I needed help. What happened next changed everything. In just six weeks, I made more than I had the entire year before. Not because of luck or magic—but because I finally had someone in my corner who believed in me and showed me a sales approach that felt authentic to who I am. That experience hooked me on coaching. I became a coach in her entry-level program and served in that role for over four years. And to this day, I still have a coach helping me sharpen my skills, stay focused, and keep growing.
Here’s What a Great Coach Actually Does:
- Clarifies your vision – so you stop second-guessing what you’re building
- Identifies what’s keeping you stuck – mindset blocks, poor strategy, or lack of support
- Maps out a step-by-step plan – customized to YOU, not a one-size-fits-all template
- Holds you accountable – with truth, grace, and just the right amount of fire
This isn’t cookie-cutter advice. It’s personalized strategy, built around your God-given brilliance and the people you’re called to serve.
Why Not Just Go It Alone?
Because here’s the truth:
Self-doubt is loud. Overthinking is exhausting. And “I’ll figure it out later” is the #1 dream-killer.

Yes, you could read every free download, binge every podcast, and stay stuck in research mode for the next six months…
Or you could work with someone who sees your potential, cuts through the noise, and helps you take aligned, confident action—now.
What Can You Expect from Coaching?
In my coaching program, women often come in overwhelmed, unsure, or stuck. They leave with:
- Crystal-clear clarity on their mission and message
- Confidence in their offers and pricing
- A marketing plan that actually works (and doesn’t feel slimy)
- The mindset to move forward boldly, even when fear shows up
You don’t need more ideas. You need a guide who can help you execute what matters most.
You Were Called for Impact
If you know deep down that you’re meant for more—more impact, more purpose, more joy—this is your time.
You don’t need another year of “maybe later.” You need a roadmap, a push, and a partner who believes in the mission God placed on your life. If that’s you, send me a message that says IMPACT and I’ll share how coaching could be the catalyst you’ve been praying for.

Need an Easy Way to Attract Clients Without Being Salesy?
Start Using Lead Posts
Lead posts are one of the simplest—and most effective—ways to connect with the people you’re meant to serve.
They’re different from lead magnets. A lead magnet is usually a free tool or download. A lead post, on the other hand, is a value-driven social media post that sparks conversation, builds connection, and attracts ideal clients—without ever feeling like a pitch.
And the best part? You might already be reading and responding to lead posts without even realizing it. In my business, one well-crafted lead post can bring in 60–70 new leads in a week. It’s that powerful.
Let’s break it down.
What Is a Lead Post?
A lead post is a simple text-only post (no logos, no links, no graphics) that you share in Facebook groups or on your personal feed to start authentic conversations with your ideal clients.
These posts are designed to:
- Grab attention with curiosity or truth
- Create meaningful dialogue in the comments
- Encourage private messages or connection requests
- Build trust before you ever mention your offer
It’s not about going viral—it’s about getting visible in front of the right people.
What Makes a Great Lead Post?
Here’s the secret: simplicity and strategy. The best lead posts are:
Short and clear – aim for 1–3 lines
Curiosity-driven or problem-focused
No graphics, links, or calls to action—just genuine conversation starters
Ends with a question or prompt to keep the thread going
