Flourish As A Woman!

A Grace-filled Space to grow Spiritually, Emotionally and Personally

Poppy Smith:

Spiritual Director | Christian Life Coach | Speaker | Author

Are you longing to grow spiritually, emotionally, or personally? Are you wanting more from your life—or a safe, compassionate place to talk about what you’re experiencing? Many women reach seasons where old ways no longer fit and new clarity feels just out of reach.

As a certified Christian Life Coach and seminary‑trained Spiritual Director, my heart and calling is to help women grow and flourish—spiritually, emotionally, and personally. I offer a grace‑filled, confidential space where you can slow down, listen deeply, and notice where God is present and at work in your life.

Whether you are navigating midlife questions, leading in ministry, or moving through a season of transition, meeting together can help you take meaningful steps forward with courage and faith.

For Midlife Women

Midlife often brings both freedom and uncertainty. You may be asking new questions about purpose, identity, faith, or what this next chapter is meant to hold. Perhaps life looks full on the outside, yet something inside is longing for deeper meaning or spiritual renewal.

I walk alongside midlife women who sense God inviting them to something more, but aren’t sure how to respond. Our time together creates space to reflect, pray, and listen—helping you move from feeling stuck or weary into greater clarity, freedom, and peace. God’s work in midlife is often quiet and profound, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. (My first book, “I’m Too Young to be This Old” addresses the many issues we confront in mid-life—a season most of us enter reluctantly but inevitably!)

For Ministry Leaders

Ministry leadership is a sacred calling, and it can also be demanding and isolating. Many women who pour themselves out for others rarely have a place to tend their own souls, ask honest questions, or process the weight they carry.

I offer confidential spiritual direction and faith‑based coaching for women in ministry leadership who desire a space to be fully themselves before God. Together, we focus on noticing where God is already at work in your life and leadership, discerning next steps, and remaining rooted in God’s presence rather than driven by pressure or expectations. My hope is that you lead from wholeness, not exhaustion.

For Women in Transition

Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can leave you feeling uncertain, unsettled, or spiritually disoriented. You may be navigating changes in relationships, work, calling, loss, or identity, and wondering where God is in the midst of it all.

I walk with women in these in‑between seasons, offering a compassionate, faith‑centered space to process what is ending, what is emerging, and what God may be inviting you into next. God often does His deepest work in times of transition, even when fear tempts us to stay stuck. Together, we gently explore how to move forward with trust and hope.

An Invitation

God longs for each of us to experience His best, yet fear of vulnerability or change often keeps us from taking the next step. My desire is to encourage you to refuse to let fear hold you back from the growth and blessings God has for you in this season.

If you’re sensing a need for support, I invite you to reach out through my Contact page. I respond personally and would be honored to connect with you. I also offer a free, no‑obligation 20‑minute “Let’s Meet” call to see if working together is a good fit.

I look forward to supporting you as you grow in experiencing God’s presence in every season of your life.

AREAS OF COACHING:

  • Spiritual Growth

    Spiritual growth: Do you find yourself seeking clarity in your faith or understanding the purpose behind your gifts?

    As someone with experience as a Spiritual Counselor and Christian Life Coach, I invite you to explore how these struggles resonate with your journey. Together, we can seek understanding and find a path toward healing and fulfillment.

  • Emotional Growth

    God gave us emotions, but He never intended us to let them run (or ruin) our lives!

    Perhaps you are navigating emotional challenges, yearning for support and encouragement during difficult times. If you are experiencing significant changes that bring about grief, losses, unfulfilled aspirations, fears, aging, or strained relationships, you're not alone.

  • Personal Growth

    As your coach, I encourage you to see your life as a gift from God. Through questions, guidance and reflection, discover how God has guided you. You will come to understand your unique qualities, and future possibilities. With personal support and coaching, you can gain the courage to embrace your full potential.
