I am an ordinary, good woman living a simple and sovereign life in a little yellow cottage in Sarasota, Florida, with my husband Matt, our daughters Olivia and Penelope, four ducks, and a cat.

 

I once lived as an overthinking and desperate truth-seeker, trapped in the mental labor of constantly evaluating possibilities, desperate to master life, purify my mind and body, avoid the many dangers around me and inside, and manifest my own reality through effort and vigilance. I searched for meaning as if it were lost in an endless desert storm of conflicting data particles, hidden in complex spiritual symbolism and always just beyond reach. I kept confusing glamor for glory and getting trapped in snares. Life was hard in the storm. 

​

But between 2017 and 2022, during a season of absurd and traumatic upheaval — navigating homelessness, surviving a bear attack, living in a tent with my young children, studying ascension and the healing arts, wrestling with chronic pain, anxiety and addiction, and learning to trust divine provision when the world had cast me out — something unexpected happened: Jesus began to appear in my life in a deeply personal way, uninvited but so real.

 

Reluctant at first, yet willing, I learned to walk with a Savior who met me in sovereignty, not submission, and taught me to surrender to grace without losing my mastery or authority. We became good friends, and I wrote and spoke as much as I could about what I learned through daily communion.

​

From those encounters, I developed a lens — an ontology — that helped me organize my heart's Knowing, untangling lifelong mental striving into simple coherence and meaning. It reconciled religious contradictions, restored balance, and brought Truth to life. My anxiety dissolved and my addictions yielded. My pain vanished. The desert storm morphed into an oasis, and I became peaceful and devoted. It was as if my bones had finally remembered:

​

I Am Light. I Am Good.
I Am Becoming.
I Am Here. I Am Free.
I Am Equipped.
I Am Sovereign.

​

This lens led me into a whole life that is consecrated and purposeful. I completed the book, named it The Sovereign Way, and began sharing it. Over the years, the book, The Oasis group and my spoken work have helped people across the world walk with freedom and sovereignty, feeling equipped, graced, and courageous to live their lives with God.
