Kathy Burrus never intended to be an author. That changed the day after her daughter Leisha died.

In the back of Leisha’s journal, Kathy found Chapter One of a book her daughter had begun. Leisha started by telling the love story of her parents and ended the chapter with "…and then I was born, Leisha D. Burrus". At that moment, Kathy knew she was meant to finish the book.

Her first book, Lovely Traces of Hope,  tells their story: Kathy's, Leisha's, their family's. But it is really the story of how God showed up with hope and was Kathy's guide through the tunnel of grief to find life again.

Her second book, EnVision YOU: UnStuck and Confident (which just came out in Sept of 2019), is for the woman who wants to make her difference but feels stuck.  It might be grief, but Kathy talks about a myriad of other ways we might be stuck.  How would you feel to be free of the stuck places and making your remarkable difference?

Kathy is a lover of stories, and more importantly, of the people who live those stories. She chose to become a certified professional life coach to take this a step further and help women hear, through their own stories, who they are and how they are making a difference in their world. She loves to help them intentionally design hope as they engage their life, empower their love in marriage, and even embrace their loss.

Drawing from her experience as a life coach and from years in ministry as a worship leader and as the wife of a pastor, Kathy has found her author’s voice. In her writing, she shares a message of hope and healing to women that is authentically transparent.

Kathy and her husband Rennie, have been married for over 40 years and make their home surrounded by the cornfields of Columbus Grove, Ohio.
