Living Intententionally
Do you find yourself spinning your wheels but making no progress? Studying and thinking about the changes you want to make, but nothing happening?
Planning for years to prioritize things in your life to align with what you value the most, only to be disappointed with your efforts?

I want to come alongside you to offer encouragement, motivation, and inspiration. I want to give you the tools you need to make positive changes in your life.
Hi, I'm Brenda
I’m the wife of Mark for over 40 years. I'm a mom to 4 grown children (Jennifer, Ben, Danielle, & Will) and a “grandmama” of 10 grandchildren (Ellie, Micah, Sonya, Tracy, Elliot, Athena, Harper, Owen, Sawyer, and Porter). When we all get together, it is a loud, crazy, and fun time!
I’ve learned some important lessons in my lifetime, and I like to think I can offer value & encouragement to others as they go through some of these same stages that I’ve been through.
I’ve yo-yo dieted my whole adult life, only to lose weight and gain it back over and over. When my health took a turn for the worse, my doctor recommended a plant-based diet. My life changed forever. Not only did my health improve drastically, but I lost over 60 pounds and the yo-yo dieting stopped.


From experience, I can teach you how to prioritize, set goals and live a more intentional life. I can show you how to make health a priority and give you the tools you need to become the healthy person you want to be.
Some of my favorite places to speak are women’s church conferences, women’s business conferences, women's retreats, colleges, wellness events and professional training meetings.
