Sandra Cobb
WINNING AFTER BETRAYAL
As a beacon of hope, love and light, author, speaker and forgiveness coach, Sandra L. Cobb is on a mission to help people worldwide live out their God-given purpose. While many people feel they can’t forgive, she believes there is no life fulfillment without forgiveness. Stuck in unforgiveness for months after the murder of her sister, Sandra realized she was no longer living—she was simply existing. Without anyone by her side to guide her through the forgiveness journey, she found herself trapped in a place she knew God didn’t intend for her to be. It wasn’t until God spoke to her through a dream that she realized the root to her anguish was unforgiveness. From that point on, she made it her mantra to make sure that Christian women wouldn’t suffer like she did.
In her signature program, Free to Forgive, Sandra helps clients break free from unforgiveness due to life-altering events. In her debut book, she unlocks others who are bound by the pride of unforgiveness—ushering them into a life of passion, liberty and hope.
Holding a Bachelor of Family Life Education from Spring Arbor University, and a Master of Religion from Ashland Theological Seminary, Sandra is also an ordained elder at Second Ebenezer Church in Detroit, Michigan.

Elise Perry
WINNING
AFTER DIAGNOSIS
I am Elise Perry, Grief Coach. I help Millennial Women living with a Chronic Illness create work life balance through self acceptance and accountability.
I am a wife, Sickle Cell Warrior, and a lover of shoes.
I was born in Detroit, MI. I’ve experienced a lot early on in my life. Losing my father when I was eleven, my mother when I was 23, and my grandmother when I was 25 caused me to become hospitalized after each death. I’ve learned that grief was a huge trigger for me. Some people grieve the life they had prior to their diagnosis. I never knew what that looked like. I was born with Sickle Cell.
Helping women through the grieving process after a diagnosis, create a normalcy that works for them and manage their time to maintain a healthy lifestyle is what God created me to do.
There is life after diagnosis it took me some time to realize this. Now that I know, I am able to share with the world that living with a Chronic Illness is not a handicap it’s your reason to live life on your terms.
