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.

Why are we selling our dream home?

Honestly long story, but the house we left in Columbia is a 4 generation family home, we debated on selling, a realtor friend showed us this, we bought did, did a bunch of upgrades planning to stay here forever, other house after sitting for sale a bit and not getting what we wanted we just decided to not lose all that equity and to remodel it and move back.

Curlmix

Tried the new full CurlMix set I got, I chose the watermelon hemp complete set, after straightening so long my curls are more wave now but come back some…lol but during the summer in the pool most the time I leave more natural – I still tend to straighten during the winter though but trying to repair it and grow it back out longer from my last trim/chop 😁💜

Bumbling brook and talk time

My husband n I get to walk past this little bumbling brook every morning on our 2 mile walk before we start the day, walking past it and the horses 🐎 I just love it, seeing and breathing all Gods nature and I’m so glad we get to have this time together to just walk n talk every day before we decide what we are doing for the day 😁💙

Best angel eggs recipe ever!

I finally found the most perfect way to make ‘Ángel’ eggs and where I won’t get exhausted peeling them! It’s sooooo much better!!! 😁 (making them every year as the family host for holidays over 30 years, this is the best!)

Put big pot on stove of water, add some salt and about 2 Tbs white vinegar bring to rolling boil. Once boiling good, add eggs in carefully, then cover n let boil on high 12 min. Turn off and immediately put in sink, drain water, put lid back on n shake it so the eggs crack some, (I also took a baby hammer n tapped each egg on top to make sure cracked good) run cold water over them about 5 min.

Now you can start peeling them sooo easy!!!

While they are cooking (I cook 24 eggs) in that 12 min, put your ‘sauce’ ready in mixer (I use my #kitchenaid mixer makes it easy!

9 TBS Mayo

3 TBS Dijon mustard

3 TBS Apple cider vinegar

Salt n pepper to taste

Once you peel eggs cut in 1/2 long ways n put on plate n put yolk in mixer

Once all eggs done mix your ‘sauce’ then scoop teaspoon size jumps into each egg half, sprinkle w paprika n serve!

Hickory Falls, Smyrna TN

We had been wanting to try this place for over a year, then he moved from Smyrna, now my son moved there, so we tried it! Got calamari (he made me try one, and I really wanted to spit it out lol no napkins yet, so I had to swallow it smh lol) potato skins were good! dinner rolls were yumm! I had the aloha salad, and it was SO good! he had the ruben n fries, my son had the steak tacos, and Danielle had a sandwich – all was great!!! 🙂 Definitely going again 🙂
