Thousands of women gathered in Southeast Asia this year, and I had the incredible honor of standing before them to deliver a message birthed from my own journey: God does His greatest work through broken vessels.
I didn’t stand on that stage because I had it all together. I stood there as someone who has walked through storms—cancer, heart disease, divorce, career loss—and yet, by God’s grace, discovered a deeper calling through every crack and every broken place.
As 2 Corinthians 4:7 reminds us:
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”
We are fragile vessels, yet we carry an extraordinary treasure within us. Not because of our strength — but because of His.
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, it felt like the end. But through that pain, God began a new story. Even after developing a rare, life-threatening heart condition, even after my career in clinical medicine ended due to lymphedema, God’s grace became my strength. I learned firsthand that weakness does not disqualify you — it positions you for purpose.
Every crack, every loss, every detour led me to this moment — and to a message that I now carry around the world: You are not disqualified by your brokenness. You are called because of it.
And just like Esther in the Bible, who risked everything to fulfill her divine assignment, we too are living in a time that requires courage. We are here for such a time as this.
“And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” — Esther 4:14
If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your purpose, or your ability to lead from a place of brokenness — I invite you to watch this powerful moment from the Women’s Conference 2025.
It’s a testimony not just of survival, but of surrender. Not just of healing, but of hope.
Watch the video below and be reminded: Your cracks are the evidence of God’s calling.
Thank you to the thousands of women who opened their hearts and embraced the truth that brokenness is not the end of the story — it is the place where God’s glory shines brightest.
You, too, are here for such a time as this.
Choose Him — cracks and all.
