Who am I without all the labels?
Years ago, I was asked this question at a retreat—and I could not answer it.
For so much of my life, especially within the church, I felt I always had to be powerful, faithful, strong, and certain. I knew how to wear the labels, but I had lost connection with who I truly was.
Church hurt left me feeling deeply alone. But when I finally became vulnerable enough to share what I was feeling, other women quietly began saying, “Me too.”
They wanted a place where they could tell the truth without being judged, corrected, prayed over, or told to have more faith.
That is why I began creating small, confidential groups where women could become curious about themselves instead of shaming or trying to fix themselves.
When the groups moved online, I heard even more stories of church hurt, unanswered questions, and women longing for a safe place to explore what they truly believed and needed.
Coming Home to Myself is not about following a formula or becoming a “better” version of yourself.
It is about looking inward with love, observation, and curiosity. It is about revisiting the parts of our stories that shaped us and learning to give ourselves what others may not have been able to give.
The past few years of illness of family member, caregiving, loss, and grief have also taught me to listen more deeply to my body—and that connection has become part of these groups too.
Women continue coming back because they value the safety, honesty, and connection they find here.
Now, I want to open this space to more women.
Maybe something in my story will whisper to something in yours:
“Me too.”
