Discover ∙ Recover ∙ Grow Explained

First Discover, who you are.


In my opinion, we do not spend enough time Discovering who we are. Instead, we search for a test that will tell us everything we need to know or allow others to tell us who we are. However, a test or the opinion of another will not bring the same comfort and confidence that comes from spending time Discovering the uniqueness of your soul. Time allows you to come to know what strengths and skills you have, how you use them, what your emotional needs are, and when and why you are fearful in certain situations. Time allows you to come to know yourself deeply. Discovering who you are is the foundational part of the growing process because when you truly understand who you are, you can embrace and be comfortable in your uniqueness. Discovering who you are, Self ∙ Formation empowers you to naturally and intentionally move to the next part of the journey.



Then Recover from the lies that have been preventing you from becoming fully you.

Once you are comfortable in your soul, you will have the ability to identify lies that have prevented you from becoming fully you. This is an uncomfortable part of the journey, but it is a necessary part. You cannot heal or recover from the lies if you do not know what they are. This discomfort is often avoided, it is feared, or denied, but denying, fearing, or avoiding does not remove the discomfort it just creates habits that keep you repeating behaviors but hoping for new results. The desire for healing is overshadowed by the habit causing existence versus living. Recover is the discomfort of going from existing to living, it is the replacing of lies with truth, and it is seeing and thinking differently. Truth is life-giving and birth is painful. But truth can and does set you free. Through the Recover process, you will address and heal your soul wounds. Recovering is the substance that gives power to the words that you speak. Your Recovering, Soul∙Healing is how you connect to others who are going through similar challenges, your Recovering breaks the barriers of guilt and shame, and your Recovering will give hope to others and change the future for your loved ones.


Followed by Grow into the person you were created to be.


Discover, then Recover empowers you to Grow into the person you were created to be. Grow is the part of the process where you put on the new thoughts, the new beliefs, the new behaviors. This is where when you fall short, you pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and then continue on. This is Spiritual ∙ Transformation.

I believe that the design of taking you through a process of first Discovering who you are, encouraging you to spend time in that discovery empowers you to move forward.
