Hi, I’m Susie, a daughter of the king, wife, and girl mom. I grew up believing the lies of my childhood, that my worth was based on external things, like money and people. So naturally, as a young adult, I sought after financial security, career performance, and titles. I thought if I got to a certain level of income or management, I would find peace, so I sacrificed my health, precious time with family, and anything else that got in the way of work success. After 22 years in Corporate America, I was burned out, and finally realized that security in anything other than Jesus would never be enough. I would always strive for more money, more achievement, and more recognition for my efforts. But with Jesus, I already had everything I needed. And He was faithful to provide for all my needs. Luke 12:28 says, “If God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” So, I ditched my limiting beliefs from childhood, and exchanged them for a lifestyle of trusting God for all my needs, which led to discovering the healthiest, most peaceful, and purpose-driven version of me. God has a plan to heal and restore all that was broken in our childhood, if we let him, and I want to share how with you. Psalms 23:1 says “the Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing. And I want YOU to know that YOU lack nothing. You are Called and equipped for the life destined for You. If you’re Ready for a life with God where Everything and Everyone is For you, then welcome to your POD! Once your limiting beliefs are removed, you’ll discover a life of freedom and power with God. God designed you to become, do, and have everything you’re created for. Get ready to laugh, cry and grow together as a community. It’s about to get LIT up in here (pun intended)! Love, Sus
