About Keona Ellerbe
For many years I couldn’t understand why my life seemed like a carousel. The more I thought I was moving forward in life; I began to realize that I was only going around in circles. I began to wonder if my unhappiness was a result of the choices I made in the past, which were now effecting my present.
So, I know you’re wondering; what was it that caused this shift in my life? Well, I was in a relationship that I endured more bad days than good days. A relationship where I silenced my voice to avoid confrontation. A relationship that seemed like it was never going to get better, but God. I continued to pray for an answer and after constant disobedience towards my instructions. I finally surrendered to my instructions. Was it that the instructions were too hard? No, it was quite simple…FIX ME! What I didn’t realize was that my unhappiness was due to the lack of self-love. I began my journey to self-discovery, self-acceptance and ultimate self-love. This was the beginning, the shaping of my REDESIGN.
So, who am I? I’m wife, mother of four children and a child of God. I graduated from Virginia State University with a B.S. in Pre-Med Biology. Served as a nurse for several years before transitioning into the Government. After almost a decade there, I realized I was allergic to bosses and fired mine. Yep, I’m 35 years old and RETIRED! I’m an Author, Speaker and Redesign Coach™ (Life Coach), and Travel Agent.
I am truly thankful and grateful to have found my calling to serve Gods people through the gift He has placed in me. Through this gift, mission and vision I will empower you to ‘Drop your Anchor and Shift’ your life into its proper direction. I promise you, that I don’t take this opportunity lightly to help you live a life you love and to share your REDESIGN with the world.
