I’m a lifelong member of Allen Chapel AME Church, Pensacola, FL.  I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resources Management and have worked in that field for many years training and developing leaders.

After years of hearing of Pastors committing suicide and observing every Pastor I know endure declining health after accepting their call into the ministry, I was lead to do some research. I discovered that it wasn’t just the Pastors I knew that were suffering, but it was a common casualty of the job of Pastoring and the majority of parishioners were equally unwell. Pastors were burned out and the stress was literally killing them. And worst, they didn’t know how to prevent being burned out while trying to minister to God’s people. I knew I had to help so I went back to school to become a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the prestigious Institute for Integrative Nutrition and certified in stress management (I also have a certification in fitness training, sports nutrition, nutrition & wellness consulting). I started my company Business Church Life where I teach overwhelmed Ministry Leaders how to prevent and overcome burnout. 

In addition to being a Burnout Prevention Coach, I am also the host of the popular podcasts, The Burned Out Preacher Podcast and Reclaim Your Energy, Sis.
