My name is Mickey Kindred, and for the past 24 years I have served as a public school educator, helping students and families navigate life's challenges and discover their potential. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about understanding how people grow, heal, and thrive.  My journey led me to pursue certifications in Christian Life Coaching and Biblical Counseling through Light University, along with training in the Gottman Method, trauma, and attachment theory.

​

     These experiences deepened my understanding of how our past experiences, relationships, and beliefs shape the way we think, feel, and connect with others.  I created Be Transformed because I know firsthand what it feels like to struggle through difficult seasons of life. During some of my own darkest moments, traditional approaches—both secular and Christian—did not provide the healing I was searching for. But through God's grace, truth, and a deeper understanding of how He designed the mind and heart to heal, I experienced genuine transformation. Once I found that healing, I knew there were countless others facing similar struggles who needed hope, understanding, and practical tools to move forward.  

 

     One of the greatest learning experiences of my life began when I adopted my special-needs son from Haiti more than twelve years ago. Raising a son who is both deaf and autistic has challenged me in ways I never imagined. It has taught me patience, unconditional love, resilience, and the importance of seeing the world through someone else's eyes. It has also revealed areas in my own life that needed growth and healing. That journey has given me a deeper compassion for others and reinforced my belief that every challenge carries an opportunity for transformation.My prayer is that this workbook helps you better understand your story, discover God's presence in your journey, and experience the renewing power of His truth.
