I did not set out to be an author. I set out to survive. For most of my adult life, I carried the weight of a childhood I had never fully named. I went to work. I became a mother. I built a career in human resources because I have always believed, with everything in me, that every person is valuable. And underneath all of that, I was living with wounds I did not yet have words for.

When I received my diagnosis of Complex PTSD in adulthood, something shifted. Not because the diagnosis fixed anything, but because it told me the truth about what I had been carrying. My struggles were not a character flaw. They were not evidence that I was too broken to be loved by God. They were the result of early childhood trauma, rooted in abuse, passed thr I did not set out to be an author. I set out to survive.

When I received my diagnosis of Complex PTSD in adulthood, something shifted. Not because the diagnosis fixed anything, but because it told me the truth about what I had been carrying. My struggles were not a character flaw. They were not evidence that I was too broken to be loved by God. They were the result of early childhood trauma, rooted in abuse, passed through generations, and waiting to be brought into the light.

What came next was the hardest and most sacred work of my life. EMDR therapy. Psychoanalysis. Attachment work. And through all of it, the steady, faithful presence of the Holy Spirit in the corners of healing that I had assumed He could not reach. I learned that I did not have to choose between my faith and my therapy. I learned that God meets us in the clinical process just as faithfully as He meets us in prayer.

I wrote my books because I did not want any other woman to walk that road alone.

My debut memoir, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, is where the story begins. It follows my journey of confronting a buried abusive past and discovering, slowly and imperfectly, what it means to find your identity in Christ when the identity you were given in childhood was built on fear.

My second book, Trampling the Snake, goes deeper into the clinical and spiritual healing work. It is for the woman who has already begun to understand that something is wrong and is ready to name it, face it, and walk through it with God at her side and a good therapist in her corner.

I live in Simpsonville, South Carolina with my husband Matt, my two children Lucas and Ava, and our Mini Bernedoodle, Rex. I share my ongoing journey on Instagram and YouTube at fearfullyandwonderfullyliz. If any part of my story sounds like yours, you are exactly who I wrote these books for.

Trampling the Snake: Continuing the journey of faith and healing

I'm thrilled to announce my second book, Trampling the Snake is now available!

After the overwhelming response to Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, I knew there was more of this story to tell. While my first book focused on rediscovering my identity in Christ, this new release explores inner child work and breaking generational trauma.

Both books stand alone, but together they offer a complete picture Read more of this blog post »

Liz Williams answered Liz Williams's question: Q . What is the single most important thing you want a reader to take away from your work? That healing is possible. Not as a slogan and not as a guarantee that it will be easy or fast or that it will look the way you imagined. But as a lived, documented, honest truth from a woman who did not believe it herself for a very long time. The di See Full Answer
