Every woman I know struggles to find balance in the roles they walk in - wife, mom, daughter, entrepreneur, business woman, homeschool mom, friend, fill in your blanks. We want to live fully - and be excellent in all we do, but those roles add a heavy weight.
And somewhere along the way, we get lost. We lose the little girl inside us and our true authentic self gets covered up by imposters that have helped us fit in and succeed. That’s where I found myself, after two babies, trying to balance work and motherhood, feeling lost and wondering where Christi had gone – her lighthearted joy and passion with it.
It sent me on a journey of healing, rediscovery, vulnerability and surrounding myself with a circle of accountability, friendship and wise counsel.
That’s where Leader’s Heart Women was birthed.
Aside from my husband and precious children, leading women through Leader’s Heart is my greatest honor, investment and joy. Every beautiful woman who has gone through it has said the same thing, “you just can’t put it into words”. That’s not to make it weird and vague, but to say it’s Holy Spirit led, driven by prayer and so it becomes a sacred space and women walk away with priorities in proper order and in freedom.
I asked my dear, wise friend Laurie Lokey to lead this adventure with me. Laurie is a world renowned marriage and trauma therapist and one of the women I most admire. She has lots of letters after her name, but doesn’t care about any of that. She is deep, authentic, funny and safe. You will love her instantly and forever.
Why do we focus on leaders? Because they desire growth and are willing to do the work. So if you fit that description – you’re our people. Come with a teachable spirit and curiosity. We’ll take you from there.
I know God has a specific purpose and mission for your life – and my passion is to come alongside you to ensure you walk in the fullness of it – free, full of joy, confident in your calling, famous at home first, and not held back by insecurities and wounds. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who is freely and confidently living in her calling. Leader’s Heart is designed specifically to help you get to that place.
So if you or your life feels muddled and heavy right now – we know. We know God sends us women specifically and purposefully, so if you feel this is the right season and fit for your next step of the journey – know you have been covered in prayer already.
It’s my greatest honor to hold part of your life story.
With so much love,
Christi

“I didn't even know that I needed what I found in this experience in order to move forward in the areas of my life that are a priority for me. Things that were out of balance have been put back in order. Leader's Heart has been a truly life changing experience that moved me forward in areas that would've taken years of individual counseling.”
—Jen (Counselor & Business Owner)
“Our time together provided a safe space to be vulnerable, go deep, open up, share honestly, and allow room for Holy Spirit to have His way in our hearts. We peeled back the layers of performance, duty, and facade to get to the real issues of fear, insecurity, and imposters. We were able to brainstorm solutions, share common experiences, and encourage each other among the other leaders in the group. We were also blessed to be challenged, spoken into, prayed for, and prophesied over by the mentors in our group. This experience was life-changing for me, as I was able to go back into my field of work with burdens and weights rolled off and a lightness that only freedom in the Spirit and His calling can bring.”
—Suzanne (Business Owner)
“Leaders Heart will forever be the best thing I never knew I needed ---and lovingly--never knew I wanted. Before the first Leaders Heart retreat, I saw Leaders Heart as an opportunity to understand why and how the hearts of those I led and those I loved worked. Little did I know, to understand and open the hearts of others, I had to understand and take down the walls around my own heart.”
