Hello, lovely humans!

My name is Caroline Stoaks and I am a Media Art and Design Journalism major at James Madison University and my minors are Youth Justice and Family Studies.

 

After graduation, I plan on going into macro social work, advocating for foster children in broken families who share a similar story to my own. My life motto is “pain to purpose.”

​

The Lord put on my heart "Pain to Purpose" three years ago. 

​

This blog has been in the works for a while now and I am overjoyed to share my faith journey with you. 

 

I find trials in life blessings because they have strengthened me into who I am today and allow me to be a light to others in dark places. I love growth, vulnerable conversations and all things leadership.

​

I work as a Strengths Coaching Program Assistant at JMU’s Student Leadership Center and coach students in CliftonStrengths.

 

I am passionate about encouraging others in realizing the potential of their unique talents and strengths while discovering who they are in Christ. 

 

As I envision the future, I pray individuals will have the opportunity to lead intentionally with kindness, confidence, and vulnerability, creating a butterfly effect impact.
