What brought you to the T12 Collective—and how has God met you here?

Nicole reached out to me with a beautiful idea—what if we created a space where women could truly stay connected, no matter what season of life they’re in? Her message stirred something deep in me, and I knew right away I wanted to be part of it.
Since launching the T12 Collective, I’ve learned to slow down and really listen when God speaks—whether it’s through a word, a song, or a Bible verse. He gently whispers reminders that speak to the hearts of the women in our community—and to mine, too. Over and over again, He reminds me of His deep love and the purpose He’s already written for my life. 

What’s a Bible verse or truth that’s been anchoring you in this season?

My favorite verse has always been Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
This verse has carried me for years. I’ve held onto this promise, trusting that God would reveal His plans for my life in His perfect timing. Now, looking back, I can see how every moment of pain and longing has led me to this—this sacred calling to support, encourage, and reflect God’s love to His daughters.

What does “purpose beyond motherhood” mean to you right now?

Becoming a mother was a dream I held close to my heart for as long as I can remember. For a time, that dream became my entire identity. But in His kindness, God met me in my brokenness. He gently redefined my worth—not in what I longed for, but in who I am in Him. My identity is rooted in Christ alone. And while I still hope to become a mother one day, my heart is at peace. Until then, I will joyfully walk the path He’s given me, pouring my life into the work He’s called me to do. 

How would you encourage another woman walking through infertility, loss, or waiting?

Having experienced infertility, pregnancy loss, and now life without children, I know what it’s like to feel completely alone. But I also know we were never meant to walk this journey in isolation. That’s why I’ve committed to being present for other women—walking beside them, offering a listening ear, a safe space for their grief, and a voice to pray when words fail. Whether it’s through a message, a devotional, or simply being there, I want to be a vessel of hope and healing—however God leads. 

What’s your favorite way to find peace or joy in a hard moment?

In the hardest moments, I find my peace in worship and writing. There’s something sacred about slipping away to a quiet spot, turning on worship music, and pouring my heart out onto the page. It’s in those still places that I hear God most clearly—where my thoughts settle, my spirit calms, and joy finds its way back in.
