Testimonials, Topics & Calendar

I have great topics that will challenge, inspire, and grow your women. If you want to teach the spiritual practice of journaling in the simplest way possible, I am your girl!


My specialty is fostering deep connections and that flows throughout all my talks.  I can present a topic within your established meeting, girl's night out, retreat, leadership training, conference OR as an experienced retreat leader I can host a turnkey mini-retreat or workshop, with a custom event flyer, promotional materials, and a detailed agenda. Here are a few testimonials....

We thoroughly enjoyed having Liz with us! She was engaging and warm as she shared interesting insights and helpful information. Women responded well to Liz who provided a refreshing presentation that left them feeling challenged, encouraged, and empowered to make changes in their lives.

I hosted the journaling webinar for some female clients. We had a lovely evening learning how to process our thoughts and prayers on paper. My clients thoroughly enjoyed it! Liz is a joy to work with and her passion for helping others grow closer to God through scripture and spending quiet time with God is obvious and contagious.
