What is the meaning of life, when loss and grief and sorrow seem to be a daily diet?
- Why the pain?
- What is this life all about?
- What good can come from that?
- What is my life purpose?
And what is the meaning of life?
I asked myself all of these questions and many more over 20 years ago.
- And now… God has allowed me to be a beacon of hope and empowerment for women because of my backstory!
- With over 16 years of coaching experience and a profound personal healing journey, I bring a unique blend of insight and understanding to my work.
- I am not just a coach; I am a guide who has walked the path of struggle and emerged victorious, ready to share my wisdom with those who find themselves in the depths of pain and uncertainty.
The true meaning of our life comes with glorifying God with our story!
And it takes work and a want to, to dig into our story to the mine the gold from our field of life. And let me reassure you, you do have gold.

With a heart full of passion, I have dedicated my life to help women unlock their true potential. My unique blend of coaching, infused with biblical principles, creates a haven where healing meets purpose.

From my clients:
Thank you so much for all you have done for me the past two years. Your support and wisdom have taken me to new heights in the ministry God has called me to. I have so much more to learn on how to reach out to our Christian community with the workshops and retreats that God has given me to develop, but I know with further coaching God’s will can be accomplished. N. O.
You are gifted in what you do, Darlene. From all you learned through your journey, you know how to draw the story out of a client. I.
I feel like I’m experiencing greater connecting and freedom than I have been. Thank GOD. ( A woman living in emotional abuse.)
Thank you for keeping your focus following great sorrow and loss. Carol Kent
The coaching I received was nothing short of a Godsend. I left every session encouraged and with new insights. I noted Darlene’s gifts and experience as she asked the right questions to get to the heart of the matter. I appreciated the recaps of our sessions and checking in mid week to see how things were going. I especially appreciated how God uses her as a vessel to provide the most apt scriptures for whatever was discussed. All of it has left me better equipped and more aware of how I can be more intentional in using my talents and fulfilling my purpose. I am grateful for Darlene’s coaching! I. R-N.
You have no idea how often I think of you. Thanks for all you did for me. You had a huge impact on my life! N.Z.
Thank you for your words of wisdom and insight into my life! May the Lord bless and keep you. Please we MUST stay in touch! C.S.
I am picking up your books today, taking 1st book on vacation. Just read Day 2. I’m thankful for Jesus, my Savior…for your gift of Hearts with Purpose. Done with the “What if’s” . Lois
I am going over all my notes from our sessions. I have gotten so much out of our coaching sessions. I.R.N.
Our session was so encouraging. Thank you. E. M.
Wow, nice work..I’ve got a ways to go in my reading but love the flow between your writings and scripture! D.L.
I always leave our sessions feeling good and optimistic! Thank you🧡 I.
I will always be grateful for you and your faithfulness in walking me through a difficult time. May I show the grace and love of Jesus Christ now and forever. Hugs, C.B.
Thank you so much for the time you spent with me last month. I consider it valuable and I’m thankful for you. You are a delight. A.B.
I hope this message finds you well. It was truly enlightening to attend your workshop on AI and writing from the heart at the SpeakUp Conference. Your perspective reinforces the value of human touch in translation—the essence of capturing and conveying authentic emotions and narratives across different cultures and languages. I appreciate your insights as they echo the importance of sensitivity and understanding in our work, ensuring that the core message and its emotional impact are preserved. I truly appreciate your message. I downloaded the book and I look forward to reading it! Wow your journey is so inspiring. Thank you again for a thought-provoking session. E.F.
Wow- —- just so very grateful I’ve worked with you and realized I don’t have to respond and react. I can wait. I can be kind and not be emotional. T.E.
Thank you again for your faithfulness. I admire your outgoing personality and your passion for engaging women. C.M.
I appreciate YOU and looking forward to our next session. I.
I want to thank you (and the Lord working through you) in all of those months in helping me walk through healing, making decisions on new doors to open and to close, finding my purpose and gifts and passion, and helping me step out even in fear and the unknown with the ministry. We had 100 women at my recent Tea and Testimony event yesterday. And it was the most powerful of them all. So many touched lives This never would have happened without the Lord placing you in my life. And I had several women come up to me and say how I inspire them to step out in fear and be courageous, and I was thinking I couldn’t have done it without all of your encouragement and coaching and prayers. S.N.
I use the Pennant of Purpose Coaching page and it helps me stay on track so much. I will do this, but I will not do that! Thank you. E. M.
Huge step and praise for this client: Today, I sent off the missions course, that I wrote to the Seminary that requested it with a prayer of thanksgiving and dedication. E. ( When we started coaching she thought she may have something to write and offer to other missionaries.) And now look… 🙂
Thank you, Darlene, you have a gift and knowing what to ask. THANK YOU. I.
Darlene, thank you for your support. I am going forward with my music and one more step toward writing my own music. I am certain GOD is moving me in this direction along with art. Thanks again. Diana H.
Thank you, Darlene, you have walked me through more than I know, even your spirit is a witness and continues to bless, to guide, to not allow me to hide. You are seriously, like a flower, once crushed, that now stands talller than all around for the beauty GOD continues in and through you. All your challenges to me still sing in my brain.-lots of them to attain yet. Thank you, love, A Creative Soul L.
Thank you, you help me focus as there are so many distractions. N.
Thank you, so encouraging. I have focus and I know my life purpose. E.
Darlene, thank you so much. I need you at this time in my life. What a divine appointment you are and thank you for reaching out when we met. YOU saw more in me than I did at the time. Thank YOU! I.
My circumstances were burying me in grief but the Writer’s Life Purpose Course offered me hope and to have direction.” E. M. Read more of her testimony. Do I write? Is that apart of my life purpose?
In such a short time, after listening to me babble, Darlene pulled out such truths from what I said and then shot back wisdom to me, and then I heard where I was stuck. Wow, thank you. ” S.S.
Coaching by Darlene has been very encouraging and empowering to me. As Darlene had been in an emotional abusive relationship and ‘got it’; talking with her and working through the devotionals was the affirmation, “I wasn’t crazy and was on a path to healing.” I needed this! I have documented my 35+ year journey in poetry writing and felt led to share it to help others. Darlene opened the door with her encouragement and baby steps to begin working past the ‘not good enough’ and fears to a purpose God has for me. Thank you, Darlene” S.R.
Women work through coaching curriculum and books and send me snapshots of which book they are working on. Enable Me, Lord, to Shift books!
I am so happy to have grown so much from your help. I have more confidence now than before. D. H.
Just a small victory dance! I wish I was close enough to frolic in a circle with YOU! I wanted ONE of my Coded Prayer books on the table for the conference this year BUT will have ALL FOUR of them for sale!!! L. R. (Our goal was one book in one year, but she will have four.)
I knew I was holding on to a lot of “unhealthy stuff”, i.e. the coulda, shoulda, woulda message one plays over and over in their mind, especially as it related to my sister (her chronic illness and somewhat sudden death). As I mourned her loss silently, I asked myself where are my tears? my sadness? and the answer that came back was that “I am angry” and “Feel guilty” at the same time. I knew I needed to work through my feelings to get to the other side of this. I also had many other life situations constantly occupying my mind, really somewhat taking over my thoughts, and at the end of the day, I knew this was not healthy for me. Coaching helped me unpack (Darlene’s phrase here..) those things cluttering up my mind, giving me anxiety – fear – and added stress; all things I know are not healthy. Your active listening, intentional questions, asking me to ‘wonder’ more and judge myself less and then sharing that insight back in a summary of our conversations was very helpful: it really allowed me to grasp and better understand my own thoughts and emotions.

Clients share about coaching and courses…
The tools you provided really helped me to navigate the process and they give me a visual to refer back to when I need it. I am so appreciative and grateful to you and know I am in a better place for having had your coaching through this time when I felt truly ‘stuck’. Thank-you for sharing your gift and God-given talent to get me back on track and provide me with some life-long tools to use on my life journey. Love and blessings to you, S.I.T.
I want to thank you so much for our session yesterday. Your description of passion really helped me understand why everyone doesn’t get as excited as I do about my passion… I get it now and will not shy away from sharing my gratefulness in what He is doing when I have the privilege of sharing Him with others. Nancy
I resisted setting a timer until I got tired of spending all day in the “vortex of detail” that produced no gain — “when the pain of staying the same exceeds the pain of changing, we WILL change” — and set a TIMER as you advised for a first time today. I don’t think I’ve EVER updated my own …info so efficiently! Thank you even though your nudge took a while to do. L.R.
Coaching has been incredibly helpful. I could never improve on my own. Thank you for your prayers, advice, and guidance. Especially for the words of truth what I exactly needed. M. G.
I would say provocative, meaning stimulating and requiring a lot of personal reflection and thought, nothing negative. I have never thought so much to clarify my purpose and feelings before as was required in the course. I will continue to go back over it as a tool to stay focused on what God has done in my life and my calling and purpose. Thank you for all you put into the course. Amazing! God bless you! E.M From self-doubt to published!
I appreciate all your work- your books, professional advice and suggestions and, of course, your effective prayers to help me attain traction. N.
Awareness. A lot of awareness. Healthier tools to address tough talks. Boundaries. Your questions helped me think differently T.T.
