About me
A little peek into my life…
I am a married woman and mom with one foot in the business world.
Believe me, it sounds more glamorous than it is though! Like many other women I know, I find myself overwhelmed and exhausted most of the time. I am very aware of the fact that I need God desperately to stay sane and have a speck of peace in my life:)
I have a business that started out with one of my great passions in life: Helping other women overcome food related struggles. I fought my own battle with eating disorders and food addiction and started groups to help other ladies with this huge struggle.
To better help them, I started writing a course and through the years it developed into a 12 Week study which includes my testimony, tons of information I gathered while studying this field, and research (most of my personal research was done right there in the groups I facilitated).
My husband encouraged me to upgrade the course and change it into an Online Program. I started making almost 100 Videos to go along with the course. What I had in my heart was to just talk to the ladies like I did in the groups, as if I was right there next to them, cheering them on and giving them tips on a daily basis. After many sleepless nights (I had to tape when all the kids were in bed) and of course a lot of crying as I relived the agony of this struggle (okay sometimes just out of sheer exhaustion), I finally finished it.
I couldn’t have done any of this without God helping me every step of the way, family and friends praying for me and my husband encouraging me to not give up. He was also the mastermind behind all the web design and technical stuff, so without him I was really lost seeing that I am pretty much “html-challenged”.
I am so excited to now have this 12 Week Online Study for Women Struggling with Food available on the web at www.SurrenderedHearts.com
Many wonderful women and moms world wide have signed up for the lifetime membership that I offer, and I pray that many more will receive freedom from this very lonely and very real struggle through this program. You can read the testimonies of the women on my website that have had learned how to surrender their food struggles to God, and walk in freedom through this online program.
It takes a lot of work, but I must admit that I enjoy every minute of it. I love talking to other ladies, helping them and just seeing them change when they find truth in their situations.
This course is based on the truth of the Bible, but it’s also very practical. I strongly dislike it when people preach to me without really telling me what to do. I wanted this program to be honest, down to earth and above all REAL. Therefore I jam-packed it with information, tips, guidelines, testimonies and research for real women, real moms, and real wives who struggle with food. I tell it as it is, because I’ve been there, and I know there’s a way out.
I’ve also written small group material, a condensed version of the online program called Appetite for Freedom, which will be available Summer 2012. I am currently starting up new groups for women who struggle with food at City Bible Church in Portland Oregon.
Now, this blog is part of my heart for the program. I want to write as much as possible of what I experience and deal with surrounding food and just life in general, again to help other ladies relate. When we see others overcome the same stuff we deal with on a daily basis, it gives us hope. Also, when we see their struggles, it makes us feel less alone and crazy and the enemy lose his footage.
I invite you to take part in all of this by leaving a comment and giving your opinion about food struggles, our relationship with God, our kids and just life in general.
