Where Healing Becomes Purpose How God Turned My Healing into a Calling

In this episode of Heat Up Your Retreats, I’m sharing what happened after God healed and rescued me. If you heard my testimony in the last episode, you know how Jesus redeemed me from a past filled with trauma, abuse, addiction, and heartbreak.

But today’s conversation answers a powerful question:
“What happens after the breakthrough? After the healing? Then what?”

In this episode, I talk about how God took my healing and turned it into a calling—a calling to help Christian coaches, counselors, pastors, and retreat leaders create sacred spaces where transformation happens. I share why retreats are not just trendy events, but holy ground where Heaven meets Earth, people encounter God in a fresh way, and lives are forever changed.

Where Healing Becomes Purpose H…

If you’ve been sensing that God is asking you to do more with your story, your gifts, and your experiences… this one is for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode
How God invited me to move from healed to called
The moment I sensed the Holy Spirit whisper: “Use your story. Use your freedom. Use your gifts.”
Why I believe retreats are powerful, healing spaces—not just “nice getaways”
The unique weight retreat leaders carry (and why so many feel exhausted and alone)
How Across the Horizon Travel became more than a business—it became ministry
The practical ways I partner with retreat leaders to handle logistics so they can focus on teaching, leading, and loving people well
The ripple effects of retreats: restored marriages, renewed entrepreneurs, fresh fire, and lasting legacy

My Heart for Retreat Leaders

I know what it feels like to lead and build alone… and I don’t want you to feel that way.

Retreat leaders are:
Visionaries
Intercessors
Teachers and shepherds
Carriers of other people’s pain and healing

You weren’t meant to carry all of that and manage rooming lists, payments, flights, contracts, excursions, and logistics at the same time. That’s where I come in. My calling is to come alongside you so you can stay focused on the ministry while I handle the planning.

If You’ve Been Dreaming of Hosting a Retreat…

This episode is your confirmation.
You are called.
Your vision does matter.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

You were made for this—and I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
