Author, speaker, and Freedom Coach
Hi, I’m Rebecca.
Honest conversations about the things Christians hide—and the Jesus who meets us there.
I’m a wife, mom, published author, speaker, Freedom Coach, and former school counselor. I know what it is to love Jesus and still carry a secret. Much of what I write comes from the places where He has met me personally.

“Freedom doesn’t mean you never mess up again. Freedom means you know where to run when you do.”
For me, that’s Jesus.
A little of my story
I know what it is to hide.
My story includes childhood homelessness, addiction to alcohol and pornography, and an online sexual fetish community where I nearly married someone I met. I’m now more than two years sober from alcohol. I’ve also lived through mental-health struggles, chronic illness, and seasons when healing looked nothing like I expected.
I know the shame of loving God, wanting to change, and still asking, “Why can’t I just stop?” I also know the relief of finally saying the thing I thought I could never tell another person—and discovering I was still loved.
Jesus is the center of this story. My journey has included counseling, practical support, repentance, surrender, and learning to return to Him when I stumble. I’m still learning. I’m willing to talk about that part, too.
From Southern Baptist to Spirit-filled
I grew up Southern Baptist. Encounters with the Holy Spirit profoundly changed my theology and what I expected of God. Today, prophetic ministry is part of how I serve women.
I care about hearing God, testing what we hear, and practicing spiritual gifts with humility. I want people to feel seen and be pointed toward Jesus. There is room for wonder and honest questions in the same conversation.
What I do now
Writing, prayer, and practical next steps.
I’m the author of Why Can’t I Just Stop? Understanding Unwanted Patterns, Renewing Your Mind, and Walking Toward Freedom with Jesus and spoke at the 2026 SHE Virtual Summit. Through Freedom Coaching, I help women recognize unwanted patterns, challenge distorted beliefs, and pursue freedom through Jesus.
Writing & resources
I’ve written more than 200 articles and share my writing with approximately 1,000 email subscribers. I write about faith, mental health, sexuality, unwanted patterns, healing, hearing God, and following Jesus when life isn’t neat.
I created Why Can’t I Just Stop? A Guided Course Workbook to help people examine unwanted patterns through Scripture, reflection, practical exercises, and Christian formation.

Prayer & wisdom conversations
On calls with women, I listen, pray, and ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate what needs to be illuminated. I offer wisdom when appropriate and leave the rest up to Jesus. I don’t promise a particular word or experience; anything I share can be weighed.
I have a Master’s in Guidance & Counseling and spent approximately 13 years in education, including about five as a school counselor in Title I schools. I later worked with women in a coaching capacity.
My current work is Christian writing and ministry, not clinical therapy.
