Hi there, I'm Wanda
With whole health and executive coaching, I guide women along the journey of unveiling their God-given greatness.
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you actually liked what you saw in the mirror?
I don’t mean just enjoying your physical appearance after shedding a few pounds, but genuinely celebrating your entire being, flaws and all?
What level of fearlessness would that unlock in you?
Maybe you’d finally realize that you actually are good enough to work for yourself and launch that business idea you’ve been turning over for years.
Or what if you could learn to strut boldly into a room with a new air of confidence, ready to attract the right people into your circle?
Perhaps you want to travel more, or self-advocate for better pay, or transition from renting to home ownership, or start throwing yourself huge birthday parties to celebrate every milestone year (instead of constantly shrinking away from the lime light!).
My point is: learning to see yourself as good enough – right now, not later – is an absolute game changer in every area of your life, big or small.
But here’s where most of us get it twisted:
we chase self-worth through external validation and accomplishments, rather than discovering it inwardly.
Thinking back, it all started during my early school years.
Truthfully, I wasn’t the most academically gifted. Plus, as a tall, thin, dark-skinned girl, I often felt awkward, like I stood out in all the wrong ways.
Everything changed when I discovered my natural aptitude for athletics.
Where I lacked as a student, I compensated for by thriving in nearly every sport activity that involved running, lifting, or throwing things.
Once I figured out where I shined, I was off to the races, seeking higher and higher levels of success as the years went by.
Post high school, I received an Air Force Commissioning Scholarship and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Fayetteville State University in North Carolina.
After graduating at the top of my Reserve Officers’ Training Corps class with Distinguished Graduate honors, I was commissioned into the Air Force as a Second Lieutenant.
I eventually climbed to the executive level in the military during my 27 years of service. In that time, I earned an MBA and a Master of Military Operational Arts and Science before retiring in 2020.
I also had many incredible personal successes, like nurturing three beautiful, healthy children into thriving adulthood, cultivating a loving marriage with my amazing husband Brandon, and being a “Neenie” to my precious granddaughter.
On top of all that, at 41, I began competing in bodybuilding competitions, and have placed in the top 3-4 of my respective classes multiple times.
Not too shabby!
I had done all of these incredible things. Why wasn’t I “good enough” yet? Self improvement should have been enjoyable and rewarding, not frustrating and exhausting.
I finally realized something had to change, starting with what I thought was true about myself.
It happened some years back as I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, stripped down to my underwear. It wasn’t the first time I had stared at my reflection with disappointment, judging what age and having babies had done to my body.
As I shamefully ran my fingers along the dips and bumps, my daughter, around eleven years old at the time, entered the room.
Even through the silence, she could tell I was harshly criticizing myself.
That was when she stepped closer to me, placed one of her small hands on my stomach and said:
“Mommy, this is your mommy scrapbook.”
SOMETHING CLICKED
That was beautiful!
I WAS BEAUTIFUL.
My insecurities didn’t disappear overnight, but I slowly began to question those nasty voices in my head more and more. I started accepting myself as I was, stripping away the need for perfection that had tormented and hindered me for so long.
Yes, I’m still a high-achiever. Yes, I still push myself to set and achieve BIG goals.
I believe staying stagnant is a major disservice to who God created us to be and what He expects us to do.
But what would happen if each journey toward self improvement began with appreciating the value and beauty that’s already within us?
What if we used that firmness in who we are to fuel our dreams and visions, instead of the other way around?
I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO GET THERE!
That means whether you’re an empty nester struggling to reintroduce fitness into your life after years of putting your needs last or a woman in a leadership position battling confidence issues, I can help.
Because if there’s one thing I believe with all my heart, it’s that a woman’s best days are NEVER behind her.
But we need to confront the hard stuff – our weaknesses, past failures, everything we don’t like about ourselves – to finally stop floundering and start flourishing.
If you’ve made your way to my corner of the world, you might have tried every self-improvement program under the sun to feel your best and break out of your rut…
But I’m here to tell you two things:
One, the real magic happens beneath the surface.
And two, transformation doesn’t have to be traumatic.
Why?
Because greatness is already within you. You just need to peel away all of the JUNK that’s getting in the way.
