to become who you were created to be!
Did You Know...
Life doesn't have to just happen to you.
You can experience freedom from pain, patterns, & powerlessness.
You can live with passion, purpose and confidence.
I can help you change your story!
If you're ready to lift limits, I would love to be a faith-filled voice of change at your church, event, or conference.
Whether I'm speaking into hungry hearts, growing relationships, team dynamics, or church life, I love to get to the heart of the matter and propel people forward to be all that they can be.
Anytime I am teaching or preaching I'm in my happy place! I am a gifted communicator with a dynamic and inspirational teaching style, and I've been speaking for over 20 years, both as a preacher and as a keynote speaker for faith-based women’s conferences, business conferences, and team-training/leadership conferences around the world.
I am a CPA, CGA with over 25 years of experience in the not-for-profit sector. I love working with my husband Garth, sparking possibility, igniting creativity & unleashing potential in people, teams, and businesses.
When it comes to changing your mind, I know what I'm talking about. As a CPA, I know my way around a financial statement, but as an author, speaker, and coach I know true change happens when we change what we think.
I am the author of an empowering book & podcast called “I Don’t Think So” that tells the story of how I overcame the greatest challenges of my life. It has impacted the lives of people all over the world.
Buried or Planted
Life Church, Penticton BC January 2023
Losses are inevitable. But what we do with them makes all the difference.
When I began to count my losses as 'seed,' and trusted God with them, what I thought was dead began to produce life.
What could happen if you began to count your losses as seed?
The Things We Tell Ourselves
Home Church, Red Deer, AB October 2022
Would you talk to others the way you talk to yourself? Would you accuse & remind others of their failings the way you accuse & remind yourself? Or are you your own worst enemy?
When we feel negative towards ourselves, we deprive ourselves of a John 10:10 life to the full, until it overflows experience.
Empower Potential
Everyone has Something to Contribute
Home Church, Red Deer, AB August 2021
When we do for someone that they are capable of doing themselves, we can cripple them.
We all have something to contribute and it's when we empower our potential that we experience purpose, belonging, and the fullness of life.
I Don't Think So Podcast
the 8 Episode Podcast
I didn't get free from victimhood because I got a divorce or because someone rescued me; I got free when I didn't think so anymore!
I believe when you're going through hell, you should keep on going and when you get through, you should reach back and help people who are where you once were.
These messages can help guide you through the same change process that brought me out of a 'why me' mindset into freedom and victory in my life.
I Don't Think So
MyNewDay.TV April 28 2014
I didn't plan to get divorced. I didn't plan to lose custody of my son. I didn't plan to destroy my life. My life was hijacked, and I lived each day in captivity with seemingly no way of escape and no hope of change.
Hear my story of how I found freedom from pain and hopelessness in this 3-part interview with Bob & Audrey Meisner.

Let's Meet
Hi, I'm Melanie. I am a gifted communicator, an inspirational teacher, and a compelling mentor/coach.
Have you ever found yourself somewhere in life that you never planned to be? I sure have. I didn't plan to get divorced. I didn't plan to lose custody of my son. I didn't plan to destroy my life. No one does. But my life was hijacked and I found myself living each day in captivity with seemingly no way of escape and no hope of change.
That's not the life I'm living anymore. I overcame my victim mentality, and today the hijackers are gone, and pain and hopelessness are long forgotten. Those days that once seemed like they would never end are hard to remember, except when I'm helping someone else work on their own victory. Today my response to captivity is simple - I don't think so.
I have a passion to share what I've learned on my journey to freedom with as many people as I can. I can help you experience that same freedom for yourself.
How I Can Help You
I Don't
Think So
book & bootcamp
When you're going through hell, you should keep on going (as the song says), and when you get through you should turn around and reach back to help those who are where you were. After I found freedom, I put my experience into a practical, empowering book to provide you with a step by step guide to help you on your journey. Or, if you're looking for an intense change experience, my 8 week bootcamp is just what you're looking for.
