She is also a certified Christian life coach and the author of Grab Your Boarding Pass, a tween devotional.

In addition to spending time with God and nurturing those He puts in her path, Kalie has a variety of interests outside of ministry, including reading, cycling, traveling, playing the piano, woodworking, and gardening.

Lori

M2B Tribe Co-Leader

Meet Lori Sammartino, repurposed school teacher turned women's Life Purpose Coach and firm believer that “all things have the potential to be made anew." From this fundamental belief springs forth Lori’s mission: to inspire contagious hope in women and girls in search of a fresh start or new beginning, because where there is hope, miracles blossom.

Since 2007, Lori has been providing individual and group coaching services and offering creative arts workshops and trainings with the purpose of empowering women and girls to discover their own God-given talents and gifts. Prior to that, Lori built her coaching experience in the Pittsburgh public school system where she served as an Education Coach, helping staff improve in their reflective practice as teachers. From that role, a passion was sparked in Lori to see others grow both personally and professionally, and that's what led her to earn life coaching certification in 2006.

Because Lori enjoys showcasing God's creative potential to remake, restore, and repurpose human lives for His splendor and glory, she's ready to encourage and equip you for the exciting journey that lies ahead. Let today be the first day of the rest of your life when you choose to embark upon all that life coaching has to offer.  Visit Lori at www.LoriSammartino.com.
