Tara Landry
Tara Landry is a speaker, writer, and creator of The Recovering Asshole, a community for women who are in the messy middle of rebuilding their lives. She helps women get unstuck, quiet the negative narrator in their head, and take small, doable steps toward a life that actually feels like theirs. Her work focuses on self-worth, identity, and learning how to listen to your own inner voice again — especially if you’ve spent years abandoning yourself to survive.
Tara rebuilt her life after divorce, depression, and addiction, and started completely over in her 30s. She teaches from lived experience, not theory. Her approach is direct, grounded, and centered around compassion and personal responsibility.
Topics she supports women with:
• Feeling stuck or lost in midlife
• Identity outside of motherhood and relationships
• How to hear your intuition again
• Negative self-talk and self-worth
• Moving through anxiety and overwhelm
• Taking small, real steps forward when life feels heavyWebsite:

Beth Townsend
Life on Purpose, Author, Speaker, Award Winning TV Show Host, and Purpose Coach!
On her own since she was 17, right out of high school, Beth had no choice but to go to work. Starting as a property manager in Virginia, she climbed the corporate ladder and became a young executive working as VP of Operations for a Real Estate Company in Atlanta. Eventually becoming an industry trainer, Beth was asked one question numerous times that changed the course of her life. "How did you know your purpose?" In her twenties, she had no clue about her purpose! Realizing the depth of the question led her on a spiritual journey that continues to this day. Since 2001, she has been interviewing "on purpose" people with the goal of learning how to share with others how to live a purpose-filled life. From her book "Life on Purpose", she gleaned 9 "Purpose Principles" that she has found can help anyone learn to be led so they can effectively lead others. Whether at work, in ministry, or at home, we all must set parameters on our lives so we can do what God has called us to do with passion, while also realizing we were never called to "do it all." Purpose is a mindset where passion lives, faith thrives, and God's will is accomplished in the life of every Believer! Her most recent top release is the business book co-authored with her son, “There’s More Than One F Word,” available at www.bethtownsend.com.
Life on Purpose TV won 23 awards in 2020 and 2021, including Best Host, Best Show, Best Director, and Most Inspirational. Beth also hosts a Show on Christian Mix 106, is an excellent speaker, and a Life Coach. Her most recent award is the 2021 Christian Literary Awards, Testimonials, Justified by Grace.

Sonja Ramsey
Faith-Based Counselor • Grief & Journal Coach • Creator of RISE
Born in Tananarive, Madagascar, and raised in Quito, Ecuador, Sonja Ramsey’s story is one of faith, resilience, and renewal. At just thirteen, she moved to the United States—beginning a lifelong journey of authentic faith in Jesus that would become the foundation of her healing and strength.
Having faced the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, the profound loss of her first husband after 25 years of marriage, and the deep valleys of grief and clinical depression, Sonja’s path has been marked by courage and redemption. Through her Christian faith, she learned to forgive, establish healthy boundaries, and find support in her community, family, and mentors.
Her story became her mission: helping women discover hope, restoration, and joy even in life’s hardest seasons.
A lifelong journaler and creative spirit, Sonja weaves prayer, writing, reading, art, music, nature, fitness, and counseling into her work. She holds certifications in Lay Counseling, Grief Coaching, and Journal Coaching, with ongoing studies in Art Therapy and Family Christian Counseling—bringing a holistic approach to emotional and spiritual wellness.
Sonja is also the founder of RISE, a framework built on four pillars:
Resilience, Inspire Change, Seek Truth, and Encourage Wellness — guiding women toward healing, growth, and wholeness in spirit, mind, and body.
Her heart’s desire is simple yet profound: to walk alongside women as they rise from pain into purpose. 🌿
