It's time for you to

FIND PURPOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PAIN.

Think you’re the only one? Ask me how I know.

Think you’re the only one? Ask me how I know.

Carrying the heavy load of others’ expectations can exhaust you and make you question if God is pleased with “what you bring to the table.” You know God’s word says that you were created ON PURPOSE for PURPOSE, but secretly you wonder if you’re the only one who struggles to believe this for herself.

You know that it isn’t God’s will for you to be crippled by shame, fear & condemnation, 
because it’s left you:

Do you ever feel like you’re unqualified to be used by God?

• Distracted & burdened by people-pleasing.
• Doubting the promises God has spoken over your life.
• Dissatisfied from a lack of purpose-FULL living.

Distracted & burdened by people-pleasing.

Doubting the promises God has spoken over your life.

Dissatisfied from a lack of purpose-FULL living.

After discovering that I was adopted, my identity felt like a huge question mark. Over time, people-pleasing behaviors that began as an innocent quest for affirmation spiraled into self-sabotaging habits that constantly derailed me from God’s will for my life.

With every poor choice I made, I felt further away from who God wanted me to be. The overwhelming sense that I could never measure up paralyzed me, leaving me without any hope that God could restore me.

I help women with hidden hurts find purpose on the other side of pain, and I know how it feels to question your worth & acceptance.

Hey, I’m Iris.

That was when the truth of my redemption in Christ broke the lies of shame that kept me bound.

IN CHRIST, I AM:


Not rejected.
|
But redeemed.
(Isaiah 43:1)

Not abandoned
|
But adored.
(Psalm 36:5-7)

Not unknown.
|
But understood & seen by Him.
(Genesis 16:13)

These truths helped me realize that I could shift from pursuing the acceptance of others by believing that God already accepts me. 

And I believe you can experience this too!
