What inspired you to become a coach and speaker?
It was both an event—and a deep calling from the heart. At 14, I was severely injured in a car accident that left me fighting for my life. I spent three weeks in a coma, had to relearn everything, and faced overwhelming judgment, rejection, and loneliness. I lost friends, my identity, and nearly lost hope. I even told my parents I wished I had died. But in my darkest moment, I cried out to God, asking, “Why me?” That’s when I felt an overwhelming sense of peace, love, and purpose. God told me, “I have a plan for you.” I didn’t know what it looked like, but I knew I had to keep going—not just for myself, but to one day be for others what I so desperately needed in that moment.What helped you stay strong during such overwhelming challenges?
My faith. God’s presence was the only thing that filled the emptiness inside me after my accident. Even though life didn’t get easier, I kept walking forward with that sense of divine purpose. I graduated high school with my class, then pursued occupational therapy. Years later, when I walked into my first patient’s room—a stroke survivor—everything clicked. I realized sharing my story and encouraging others was exactly what I was called to do. I had become that same voice of Hope for others that God’s voice was on my heart throughout High School, that kept me going.How did your journey evolve into creating ‘Elizabeth Inspires’?
After years of working as an occupational therapist and coaching in holistic wellness, I found myself trapped in a toxic marriage—belittled, manipulated, and told my dreams would never come true. But God had been preparing me all along. I had been delivering on my purpose for more than a decade when He opened my eyes to what I had been enduring. The same strategies I used to recover from my accident helped me survive that marriage. Within four days of turning to God in prayer, He made a way for me to leave, rebuild my life, that’s when I began my re-launch Elizabeth Inspires. I realized I had been teaching resilience and healing for years—I just hadn’t formalized it until then.Tell us more about your ‘Roadmap to Resilience’ and ‘Pathway to Peace.’
These are the pillars of my coaching. My Roadmap to Resilience starts with Rise—the courage to keep going. Then Reframe—shifting your perspective from “why me” to “What now?” Reflect—looking back to see how every challenge shaped you. Rediscover—becoming the person you were meant to be. And Reconnect—aligning with people and opportunities that help you fulfill your purpose.My Pathway to Peace is all about tapping into the inner spirit of resilience—the Holy Spirit within us, building the foundation that allows you to begin walking by Faith and not by sight. That’s how we reclaim our power, pursue our purpose, and experience true healing, peace, and fulfillment, the catalyst for Transformation and Healing.
What is one short-term goal you’re focused on right now?
By the end of this year, I want to have at least 25 speaking engagements—both virtually and in-person—Relaunch of my Pathway to PEACE Method™ course to help those who aren’t in a place for 1-1 coaching, and enroll my first five clients in the Miracle Power Empowerment Coaching program. I’ve already been helping men & women on an as-needed basis, and through my Roadmap to Resilience™ Workshops, but this structured 6-week journey will help them reclaim their power, find their purpose, and experience the peace and freedom they deserve.
“We all have miracle power living inside of us. You just need the willingness to rise, the clarity to keep going, and the belief that your dreams were placed on your heart for a reason.”
