About Me

Hi, I'm Linda

For too many years I lived a life of doubting myself. The critical self-talk and unneccessary guilt kept me from the clarity to move forward. They prevented me from progress in my life. It was when I realized the cost of entertaining these thoughts that I got serious about addressing them.

My brain was so full of these thoughts that I couldn't recognize the truth. Jesus said my sheep know my voice and they won't follow another. And yet often when my brain would tell me "you aren't enough" I would believe it.

I would follow the lies. Not Jesus.

There is a better way. I have developed a method that is simple and effective. It uses the the truth of the Bible with the findings of neuroscience.

Book a Call

I teach and coach clients through this method. I bring over 30 years of education and training in coaching, speaking, psychology, mental health, neuroscience and the ancient wisdom in the Bible. I also bring the lessons of experience-the times I’ve fallen and picked myself up, the negative self-talk I had to overcome, the belittling and betrayal that I had to see for what it was. The ways that I have lived a false identity and forsaken it for the truth. The weight of false guilt and the gut wrenching feeling of thinking everything bad in my life was my fault. The relational pains and joys. The angst of risk and the defeat of failure. I have chosen both the destructive ways to see life and those that are empowering.

I have developed a simple and effective 3-step method that combines the findings of neuroplasticity with the instructions in the Bible.

You can replace the default negative thoughts with what is true and empowering.

Learn to take every thought captive

Rule your brain. Make it work for you not against you.

I know the lies well. The not-enoughs, the accusations, the fears that would stop me. I know the devastating effect they have on our mental state, our life. The long-term consequences of believing them. I also know the freedom of living in the truth. Of not being afraid to consider if the guilt that I feel is real or not. I've learned that God is a safe place. That the truth is my friend and my compass.

Through bouts of illness when I was “grounded” to my house, missing out on time with friends and new experiences, I learned the lessens of stillness.

And I learned gratefulness. I realized I could either complain about my life and what I was missing or I could embrace my life. I found many things to be grateful for in the darkest , most trying days. And it freed me.

Life is challenging. For all of us. It’s part of being human. We choose how we will navigate those challenges. In that we choose the outcome it will have on us. Will we come out better -stronger, more confident in who we are and our capabilities or will we become bitter and angry? Will we be crushed by life or energized? Will we be angry with God or learn to trust His goodness when things are hard?

The outcome is determined every day in small and big ways that we choose how to think.

I bring to my coaching and speaking over 30 years of education and training. Not only in the area of coaching and speaking, but in psychology, mental health, neuroscience and the ancient wisdom in the Bible. I also bring the lessons of experience-the times I’ve fallen and picked myself up, the negative self-talk I had to overcome, the belittling and betrayal that I had to see for what it was.

The relational pains and joys. The angst of risk and the defeat of failure. I have chosen both the destructive ways to see life and those that are empowering.

I have developed a simple and effective 3-step method that combines the findings of neuroplasticity with the instructions on renewing our mind in the Bible.

I love supporting clients in this work of real and deep transformation as they use the immense power they possess to take control of their thoughts. To take control of their life.

Are you ready for different? I would love to journey with you on that path.
