Sunderland Coaching’s philosophy is rooted in Radical Responsibility & Conscious Leadership

I believe in an unconditional, loving God for everyone in the world.

I believe this, because I am not perfect, and I want to learn to love myself so I can also love God and others.

I believe the decisions we make in life are either to protect ourselves in fear or free ourselves in love.

We live in our true calling or our false identity — which stems from our belief system…

My passion is discovering who we are called to be and what we’re here to do— and seeing others on their journey.

I believe I am called to love others as I love myself, and the only way I can do that is to source perfect love. Perfect love casts out the unconscious mind’s fear that drives control and defense, which leads to unwanted results.

So whenever I get a result that I don’t want, I know that I was making my decision out of control and fear, and love myself in that space of fear in order to move out of it and create a different outcome.

Believing in a loving being that is greater than all of us continues to transform my life.

The God I believe in is a loving God who has a calling on your life. My life is filled with purpose, abundance, and peace. And one that you can only fulfill by living the life you’re called to live.

“My life was spared to wake you up to yours. And my genius is seeing yours.”

We believe and teach…
