Living After Transition

Restore Identity, Reignite Purpose, and Realign with Calling after Change or Loss

Life is full of change. Whether its a major life shift, processing grief or loss, exploring your next chapter after a significant transition, or simply longing for greater clarity and purpose, life change can seem to shake everything around you.

I know what it’s like to wrestle with the unknown, to be lost in grief and overwhelmed by loss; unable to see a clear path forward and too afraid to take next steps.


It wasn’t until I got clear on one thing - my IDENTITY; who God created me to be - that everything changed. It changed the way I grieve, the way I dream, and the way I live from a place of PURPOSE.

Now, I use this same understanding to lead workshops, small groups, and coaching sessions to help others reestablish a firm foundation of identity to confidently and boldly pursue their God-given purpose and calling.

No more confusion - and no more second-guessing.

Rediscover WHO YOU ARE so you know more clearly what to do. Life will always bring change, but who you are should remain the same rooted in a strong foundation to weather any storm. Are you ready to secure your anchor?

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

Romans 12:2

Hi, I’m Chanelle!

Certified Coach | Mentor | Speaker

For the past decade, I’ve helped individuals and teams navigate change and build meaningful improvement. And for more than 30 years, I’ve walked closely with God—studying Scripture, applying it to my own life, and discipling others through seasons of growth and change.

But when my mother passed away unexpectedly, everything I thought I knew about navigating change was tested. Grief didn’t just interrupt my life—it reshaped it. It required every bit of my professional experience, every ounce of my faith, and every form of support available to find my footing again.

Now, I bring together both my expertise and my faith to help others rebuild when life shifts in ways they never expected. Through practical, faith-based guidance, I walk with people as they rediscover who they are, reclaim their hope, and step into a new future.

Because even in the hardest seasons, God is still writing a beautiful next chapter. And you don’t have to navigate it alone..


Grief therapy helped me to revive, Grief coaching helped me to thrive, And my faith helped me to survive.
