Laurie Delk - author, speaker, coach, trainer

Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.

In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.

God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.

Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.

Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.

Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.

Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

Hyatt centric, Atlanta, GA

🌟 Five-Star Stay at Hyatt Centric Atlanta! 🌟

We’ve stayed at almost every Hyatt in Atlanta over the years, but this was our first time at Hyatt Centric — and I don’t think I’ll ever stay anywhere else again! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted so kindly and even upgraded to a beautiful corner room with large windows and gorgeous views from two sides.

The room was spacious, spotless, and so thoughtfully designed — perfect for both relaxing and getting a little work done. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved the small details like the built-in night light in the bathroom (a thoughtful touch — I usually travel with my own plug-in light, but didn’t need it here!).

And the shower… oh my goodness! I travel often, and this was hands-down the best hotel shower I’ve ever had. The water got super hot, the pressure was amazing — it honestly felt like a built-in massage. I didn’t want to get out!

Everything about this stay felt elevated yet cozy, modern yet warm. Hyatt Centric definitely set a new bar for us in Atlanta — thank you for such a refreshing, relaxing experience. We can’t wait to come back!

✨ Stopped in North Augusta, SC on our way to Atlanta and found this adorable hidden gem near the water — Manuel’s Bread Café! 🍞🍔

Their grass-fed burger, crispy fries, and house-made aioli were absolutely incredible! 😋

Such a cute little spot off the square, cozy and full of charm — clearly a local favorite since they even asked if we had reservations (thankfully they squeezed us in!). 💕

Whiskey bar kitchen Augusta, GA

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely delicious!

We stopped into Whiskey Bar Kitchen in Augusta, GA for a little “linner” (lunch + dinner) while traveling, and wow — they did NOT disappoint! 🍔

I had the Cali Burger and my husband tried the Elway Burger, both perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The loaded tots were the ultimate comfort side — crispy, cheesy, and topped just right! 🧀🥓

The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and our server was super sweet and attentive. 💕

If you’re ever passing through Augusta, this is a must-stop spot for an incredible burger and great vibes!
