Welcome
I’m the author of The Thread, a self-help resource and system like no other. Here, I share personal experiences, prayers, poetry, activities, and journal prompts to guide your day-by-day healing journey from trauma, with love and tenderness.
My path to healing from trauma through Christ has helped me to become intentional about rising from guilt and shame to reclaim my life. You, too, can find healing, hope and freedom even in your most challenging times. I’ve recovered from a childhood filled with adverse experiences, overcoming post-traumatic stress disorder, and a life that had left me a prisoner in my soul and trapped in my mind.
Healing is courageous! At first it’s hard, then along the journey it get’s messy as you face and speak the truth about the pain you endured in the past. Don’t give up! In the end, you’ll discover that the determined steps you’ve taken to heal from trauma, has helped you to rise like a phoenix from the ashes of trauma and soar beautifully as a transformed woman.
The Thread was born out of a series of life-shattering circumstances, but with faith, understanding, and belief, I have developed a program to overcome adversity, and I am honored to share my path. Paired with tales of women in the Bible, who also faced tragedy, trial, or failure, I lead you along a gentle path giving you the confidence to respond in faith and a six-step T.H.R.E.A.D call to action to help you:
- THINKof the Outcome You Want to Achieve
2. HARVEST Lessons Learned from the Past
3. RELEASE Fear and Break Painful Patterns
4. ENLIST Allies to Support and Mentor You
5. ADOPT New Mindsets and Behaviors
6. DREAM of a New Self and Design a More Joyful Life
The women of The Thread dare to discover, embrace, and accelerate their God-given purpose. Leonie’s prayer is that each beloved reader will recognize that they, too, are worthy of love, can find freedom, and enjoy closeness with God.
IT’S TIME TO ANSWER TO YOUR SOUL’S WISDOM
I’ve discovered that, all people have multicolored, multipurpose threads of their unique experiences woven into the beautiful design of their destiny. Each thread has been formed by and represents a trial experience and conquer, a truth told, a potential unlocked, or a purpose accomplished. How you weave these threads together will determine the masterpiece you create. Always remember, your life is a beautiful masterpiece you get to co-create with God.
