Many years ago when I was a child I had a dream of helping individuals and families. As many, life got in the way. I made choices that impacted my childhood dreams and then one day I woke up and those childhood dreams were now God’s plan for me. My question to myself was, “But how?”
This is my “Why”. Because I know what it’s like to have a dream, have a calling, have God given gifts and not know where to use them. My prayer now is that God will use me to help others figure out what he wants them to do with what he has gifted them with and how to break free from the things that are holding them back. We all have done it! Don’t be shamed or regretful, because as long as you have breath God will show and provide you with the way.
Well, when I realized God was still calling me, I started on the path that he laid out so that I could be the very best for those who he placed in front of me to help. Training is sometimes necessary to be the best you can be. I embarked on that training path and achieved one of my first goals and that is becoming a ICF ACC certified coach. I did this so that I could show up for my clients by being the best me. And then I could help them be the best them.
This is what others are saying…
Rhonda was my coach a couple of years ago at a time when I had many concerns and worries surrounding my family, in particular my children. I cannot say enough good things about her. Rhonda coached me through those concerns and worries, by guiding me to alternate ways of looking at situations, and gave me weekly “homework” or tasks to complete before our next session. Which would end up becoming tools to help me fight against those concerns and worries (or any other issue I’ve faced since). She helped me, with help of the Holy Spirit, to figure out those things in my life that were hindering me, or holding me back, from becoming or allowing myself to be the best possible version of myself. When one task was complete, we would switch gears, and determine new ones. I have come a long way since our first session, and can proudly say that those concerns and worries, with which I started, are completely gone. I have a lot of work yet to do on myself, but Rhonda has been a huge factor in helping me make the gains I’ve needed. She’ll challenge you to do the hard things! And we all need to do the hard things sometimes! – Christy
Rhonda and I have been friends since kindergarten, so when life got in my way I called her. She listened very patiently while I rambled on about how my life was on a downhill slope. When I was done, she showed me a path to venture down. First and foremost, get right with God!!! He will always be there lifting you up, steering your way. I still have my struggles, but her words are always in my mind and come creeping up on me, to do what I need to do! I have started praying again and I am finding a church to belong to. Rhonda opened my heart again and showed me that my career path is to God! Thank you so much Rhonda! – Dorothy
Rhonda has shown me through scripture how to deal with trauma and heal. She is willing to be raw with me to show me I’m not alone. Meeting me exactly where I am even at my most broken place. She showed me purpose in my pain. – Deborah
Rhonda’s workbook, “The Journey: Finding Healing through Scripture from Life’s Hard Questions”, came at God’s perfect timing. I was a little scared to work through the questions at first because I’m not big on self-reflection. I’m a “fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants” kind of girl. But God knew I needed to work on some emotional issues for myself that would also impact those around me. Rhonda’s questions were thought provoking and gentle. The process opened up some hidden wounds that needed to be healed so I could understand God’s love for me and his purpose for my life. This has allowed me to free up space in my heart to love others better. I think everyone should go through this process on a regular basis. – Annie Sotski, RN
Rhonda. You helped us so much last night. Thank you! We are meeting with our senior Pastors this evening before church to take our next steps! We appreciate your help! Tina
When I had no other options, Rhonda was there to help guide me into new paths. The personal and religious battles I faced within suddenly became clear decisions with a bit of her compassion and understanding. I always feel like I am being listened to and that I matter. Some things are to heavy to carry alone, she has helped to lighten that load. I am thankful for her. – Penny
She meets clients where they are in their walk with Christ and coaches them to move forward by planting the seeds of Christ. Her gentle spirit puts clients at ease and then together they draw out insights that so that the client can view their future differently and move towards it. – Mary Jane
Watching Rhonda and how she follows God, inspires me to look around my life for the opportunities that the Holy Spirit is presenting to me. She has coached me not to disregard the seemingly random thoughts I may have regarding ministry or outreach, but to explore them as ideas, gifted to me as opportunities for my own growth and the possible discipleship potential they present. Her ability to communicate easily and effectively and establish a rapport with others has resulted in her having the opportunity to mentor many women, including me. She’s encouraged me as a leader and offers insights as needed in a loving and honest way. I’ve grown in my confidence as a leader of women and as a Christian disciple making disciples in no small part because of Rhonda’s influence in my life and her heart for and natural gift in mentoring and coaching. – Joy
From the very first day I met Rhonda, she began to pull me out of my shell. She was the first person to successfully approach me on a personal one-to-one level. Rhonda has a very kind, compassionate, but straightforward method of reaching into and through people’s emotional barriers, along with the patience required to wait for them to truly open up. Rhonda listens without making me feel judged and offers responses and advice that guide me to consider other alternatives, while she carefully avoids directing my path. – Pamela
Rhonda is a natural coach who has the ability to help a person see where they’re going and to identify the steps needed to get there. I have worked with a life coach myself in the past who was quite adept at these skills and I see those same skills in Rhonda, but on an even higher level. I am quite confident that Rhonda has genuine care and concern for the well-being of everyone she meets. – Elizabeth
Rhonda is a natural mentor and coach who will challenge you to reach higher and encourage you all along the way. Not a yes woman, she will call you out when you need it and push you to grow up and into the person God created and empowered you to be. She is a natural connector with a passion for helping women step into their calling. – Nicole
Rhonda is kind and puts her clients at ease regardless of what their background or past may be. She frequently repeats back to the client what she is hearing to make sure that she understands. And through this process, the client, becomes aware of their inmost feelings and this helps them prepare to move forward to reach the dreams they have. – BJ
Well organized, totally biblical -great scriptures and use of scriptures in leading to healing, great action plan, wonderful connection of using the Lord’s prayer to show us the steps to healing.

Rhonda’s book, “The Journey:Finding Healing through Scripture from Life’s Hard Questions”, is a Front Line Read & workbook. It’s honesty and stories allow a wounded heart to relate through knowing they are not alone. It covers wounds, abuse, heartaches, betrayal and lost relationships. And challenges you to think through your experiences, your pain by processing it all to allow healing while championing you to brave the next level of healing. Her love for the reader is evident. I believe Rhonda’s book would be a tool that anyone could use for personal revelation & healing. – Caron Massey, Author & Lover of Jesus

The Journey: Finding Healing through Scripture from Life’s Hard Questions invites you to take an active role in your own healing journey. Rhonda Gould beautifully unfolds the truths of Scripture, through prayer, journaling, and our relationship with the Lord so we can find our way through the most difficult of circumstances. To heal from the pain of the past, we must be willing to deal with it head-on. This can be a scary thing at times, but not when we invite Jesus to be a part of the healing process.
In The Journey, Rhonda has developed seven easy to work through “milestones” to aid you in walking through your healing journey. Plus, she has included coloring sheets for the visual creative learner. However, most importantly she walks you through each step not just as a counselor or life coach, but with vulnerability and authenticity as someone who has walked through the difficult seasons of life and come out the other side. It’s time to embark on your own healing journey. – Debbie Kitterman, founder, Dare2Hear Ministries; founder, Sound the Call, LLC.; international speaker; podcaster; pastor; blogger, Dare2Hear.com; Dare2Hear The Podcast; D2Htraining.com; author, The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement: Hearing the Words of God for Others, The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement Bible Study: Living a Lifestyle of Encouragement, and Releasing God’s Heart Through Hearing His Voice.
