Stop simply surviving and learn a new system for thriving
Ready to move from overwhelmed and frustrated to a place of balance and calm in your life and work?
As a leader, have you experienced:
- Disrespect from others who don’t understand your work?
- Overwhelm from impossible expectations?
- Weariness from constant demands?
- Guilt from not being able to get it all done?
Frustrations and pressures are coming from things you can’t control – frustrations from your work life, pressures from higher-ups, even things in your personal life that you want to attend to but can’t. Stress is running rampant, thanks to life challenges and exhaustion from trying to do it all, and you’re starting to worry about your own health and anxiety.
The people you serve, the colleagues you work with, the administration you report to, and your own family. It’s all a matter of service, but the overwhelm of the job has gotten to the point where you can’t even see which way is up.
Instead of responding to these stresses in a healthy manner, your reaction has become a bit desperate in the process. You’re not eating well or sleeping enough, and the distress is taking over your body.
Is this really what you're supposed to keep doing?
- You wish to respond gracefully and be empowered with supernatural peace in all challenging circumstances.
- You want to be in control of your emotions instead of letting your emotions control you.
- You want to love your job again rather than at the expense of your personal life, relationships, dreams, and goals.
- Be filled with new knowledge, tools, awareness, relationships, and simple steps of action that will re-awaken and re-energize your walk in your job and personal life.
- You can show up to your workplace with the resolve and confidence to change lives, inspire hope, ignite passion, and change legacies.
with stress anymore.

Here is what others have said after taking
The Empowered Mastermind:
Hey there!
Coach for Women
During my 40-year education career, I have been a high school mathematics teacher, a University Supervisor of student teachers, an Academic Dean, an Executive Director of a high school, and a consultant for several schools in Minnesota. I love everything about the mind! A multi-year depression caused partly by overwhelm and burnout led to losing a teaching job and temporarily going on disability.
I truly understand the stress and pressure that comes with being an educator and leader. But life does not have to be an endless cycle of mindlessly reacting to all of life’s challenges; we can choose to respond to the overwhelm of life from an inside place of God’s grace. A place where our mindsets are managed, our decisions are made around our priorities, and our lives are aligned with God’s will.
If you desire change – long-lasting change – it first requires awareness. AWARENESS LEADS TO ACTION! Intentional action of small, consistent steps, inspired and directed by God TRANSFORMS LIVES.
Your life!
Are you ready to see your life transformed?

Are you ready to become energized?
You don’t have to live with overwhelm anymore. How you feel now doesn’t have to be how you feel forever – and you most certainly don’t have to do it alone. We have a wonderful counselor in our Heavenly Father and the women participating in this mastermind.
This offer will support you. This offer will begin a transformation not only for you but for those that you love. This offer will guide you in developing a lifestyle where God is your Master and not the world.
A grace-filled lifestyle where you flourish and become Empowered from the Inside Out.

Plan on 15-20 minutes per day, five days a week. This would be ideal, but you can divide the daily videos and coursework in any way that works best for you!
Due to this inaugural masterminds limited nature and investment level, all sales are final. If something happens – after all, life! – simply email me at vanessta@youniquespark.com. I am more than happy to apply your investment to a future mastermind or coaching that will better fit your needs.
A mastermind is a group of like-minded people working together toward a similar goal. The women who join this mastermind will also seek the same thing you’re seeking: peace from the Lord and direction on how to live their lives. They will be educators and leaders facing burnout and overwhelm. They will accompany you to support and hold you up in this 7-week journey safely. You will see the group’s perspectives, ideas, and shared experiences. You are not alone. Similarly, the group needs to hear YOU, your experiences, and your story.
Each Sunday, you will receive an email with all the materials you will use for the week. A personal journal or a small 3-ring binder to keep your worksheets in would be ideal. Even though this is a digital world, there is discovery and clarity ( the a-ha moments!) in writing by putting pen or pencil to paper.
Voxer is a free downloadable app for your phone. You can voice message me questions, and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Each Optional Zoom session will have time allotted for questions also.
