Beyond the Work
Misty walked away from a promising consulting career at Enron to do something that mattered more: raise her three sons. For over twenty years, she homeschooled them, building a life centered on faith, family, and intentional presence.
Today, those boys are grown, and Misty partners with her husband Peter in both business and ministry. Together they host podcasts, writes books, speak, and run Trilogyworks.
Outside of work, Misty's mission remains constant: helping people and families lead with boldness, walk in purpose, and honor God in every arena, including the digital one. She believes the lessons learned around the kitchen table are just as important as those taught from the stage.
Whether she's writing, speaking, or behind the microphone, Misty brings the same heart to every conversation: you were made for more than hustle, and God has a purpose for your life.
