Our lives are written by the stories we tell...
THIS IS MY STORY
Writing My Own Story
Kimberly was born with cerebral palsy but didn’t walk with a cane until she was diagnosed with lupus at 28. She lived with more than 15 years of chronic pain and illness before deciding to make herself a priority, end her disability benefits and write her own story.
She no longer lives in chronic pain. She is living with lupus and credits her disability and life experience for teaching her what it means to lead with empathy and navigate with life’s plot twists with resilience.
Kimberly understands the consequences of burnout to your well being. She helps her clients ride the highs and learn from the lows balance their real life responsibilities with workplace demands, and align their career, leadership and business with their human goals. She believes “you are the greatest project you will ever work on.”
Kimberly is an ICF Certified Leadership, Executive and Career Coach with the International Coaching Federation and a Genos emotional intelligence practitioner. She specializes in career coaching, emotional intelligence, resilience and wellbeing.
She is currently working as a Career Coach for Randstad RiseSmart Staffing Services.
Kimberly has a Masters in Divinity and a Bachelors in Journalism and Political Science and more than 20 years of combined experience as a pastor, writer, hospital chaplain, communications professional and a coach.

You Can Not Spit in My Hair
When I was in junior high,
two boys harassed me on the bus and spit in my hair.
I actually don’t remember what their names were,
but the white, blond haired, blue eyed boys who were bullies.
We had moved that year from California
to a small town in rural Indiana.
I had to take the bus home every afternoon.
I Joined the Swim Team But I Didn’t Know How to Swim
I joined my high school’s swim team,
but I didn’t know how to swim.
It was my junior year of high school,
I convinced my high school AP History teacher,
who was also the head swim coach,
to let me join the team.
At the Crossroads with Your Job or Career?
He said he wished he could hire both of us.
I asked him why not,and asked to see his organization chart,
and left the interview with a smile.
One week later I was hired …
During the past two years, I have had multiple conversations with people who have lost or quit their jobs. So many people see themselves a a crossroads with their jobs and careers.
Holding Space for You or Someone Else Who is Sick
As I have moved into various spiritual communities in my own journey, I heard this phrase of “holding space”.
This was not a new term – I heard it used in my own therapy sessions and have used it when I counsel others. In general, it means to stay present with a person and sit with them, acknowledging where they are as they struggled with life’s challenges.
What Would You Do If You Knew You Could Not Fail?
Can I tell you a secret to my success?
To my resilience, my abundance and ability to find solutions,
create opportunities, and get unstuck?
I do things differently.
I do things that make me feel good.
Allow me to relax and have fun.
And I take time to celebrate me.
I Am an Artist
I am an artist.
There I said it.
Growing up, I was not the artist.
My mom was the artist.
She was the one who painted. She started with oil paintings and eventually moved to drawings and watercolors.
She never taught me anything about how to draw or paint, or even color.
My Spiritual Journey
I am a pastor and a spiritual leader . . .
But I don’t belong to one denomination
and have not attended church in years.
Because for me, God and the Church is everywhere.In nature, in our homes, in our friendships, and in our hearts.
Just because you leave one church or religion It does not mean that you have left God. That you have to give it all up …
