aka
The Love Cheerleader®
Best-Selling Author. Speaker. Faith-Based Award Winning Life Coach. Mental Health Advocate Award Recipient.
I am known as The Love Cheerleader® because I learned how to cheer for myself when everything felt like it was falling apart. I know what it feels like to keep performing while quietly carrying emotional exhaustion underneath it all.
Now, I guide women through heartbreak, burnout, and major life transitions while they continue leading at work, at home, and in the spaces where people depend on them.
This is not just emotional wellness.
This is healing with structure, faith, discernment, and emotional clarity so you can lead yourself well without burning out.
You’ve been holding it together for so long.
You’ve shown up in the boardroom, the church meeting, the family gathering wearing the mask that says:
“I’m fine. I’ve got this.”
But behind that mask?
You’ve cried in your car during lunch.
Wondered how much longer you can keep this up.
Questioned if you’ll ever feel like yourself again.
You’ve led through heartbreak, loss, burnout, and life transitions while still showing up for everyone else.
But the weight is real.
And the exhaustion is deep.
Productivity starts feeling safer than honesty when you’ve spent years trying to survive.
So you keep showing up.
Performing.
Leading.
Smiling.
Even when you’re exhausted underneath it all.
I know that feeling. Because I’ve been her.
Heartbreak. Divorce. Identity loss. Grief. Life Transitions.
I have lived through all of it while still leading teams, managing crises, and showing up in Corporate America with an MBA and a smile on my face.
I cried before work but performed during it.
From the outside, I looked strong.
But internally, I was exhausted, disconnected, and functioning in survival mode.
I learned that survival is not the same thing as healing.
Healing begins when you stop performing strength and start giving yourself permission to pause.
That journey led me to create The P.A.U.S.E. Challenge®, a faith-based framework that helps women move from survival to clarity, confidence, and intentional leadership.
“You don’t heal by keeping the mask on. You heal by having the courage to take it off.”
-LaNise Thrasher
The Cost of Performing Strength
High Performing women are often praised for how much they carry. But eventually, survival mode becomes exhausting. You stop recognizing yourself. Your softness fades. Your peace disappears. And survival starts feeling normal. That is why healing is not just about moving on. It’s about coming back to yourself.
Why Women Trust This Work
I’m a Faith-Based Life Coach, best-selling author, and Mental Health Advocate Award recipient (2025).
Over the past 7+ years, I’ve helped women navigate emotional exhaustion, heartbreak, identity shifts, leadership pressure, and major life transitions through coaching, speaking, books, and faith-based emotional wellness tools.
I’m the creator of The P.A.U.S.E. Challenge®—a faith-based framework that helps women move from chaos to clarity, overwhelm to confidence, and survival to intentional leadership.
My work has been featured on FOX 5 Atlanta, Portia, House of Hives (The Netherlands), and trusted by churches, organizations, and women’s groups nationwide.
But whether I’m speaking on a stage, coaching one-on-one, or writing, my mission stays the same: to help women heal the smart way, not the hard way, so they can lead themselves, their families, and their work with clarity, confidence, and faith.
