DPW Testimonials
Read what purposeful women have to say about DPW workshops, events, and programs.
“I have been able to experience such deep levels of healing, freedom, and joy that I am only beginning to understand.”
Thank you so much, Shandice, for hosting this workshop and for creating a space to connect with women from around the world, hear the voice of God, and be encouraged! Thank you for showing me the importance of unpacking my pain from the past, and for creating a space to process and step into my God-given purpose. I am forever grateful!

“The Write Your Way Through It workshop was LIBERATING for me. I feel lighter. I feel free.”
It was a deliverance session. I had been carrying some heavyweights that had me mentally overwhelmed, and they were chipped off. I feel lighter. I feel free. I left with an action plan of what to do next and have already started working on it. The workshop has taught me how to decipher where I'm at, understand what the Lord is trying to get across to me, and just be in tune with the Father more. I have so much to say that I cannot put in words.

“Thank you for helping us see ourselves and others the way God sees us.”
With all the chaos going on around us, today I witnessed God move in 14 other women and myself as we wrote to our inner pain and broke generational curses. Thank you, Dear Purposeful Woman for allowing this kind of community to exist.

“The Write Your Way Through It workshop is one that I will never forget!”
This workshop allowed me to sit with my pain and speak to it and allow it to speak back to me! I have never done that before until participating in this workshop. This has been something I’ve done continually since the workshop, and it has been so therapeutic. I’m so fortunate to know that it’s okay to feel pain and then HEAL.
Shardae, Connecticut, U.S.
“Shandice had us go back to get the little girl that went through so much pain and hurt and carry her to where we are now, and wow, that was my breakthrough.”
I am still in awe of how God moved and used this beautiful woman of God to speak to me at the right time of where I am on this Christian walk.
Danielle, Connecticut, U.S.
“Her way of sharing her gift of writing allowed me to begin to write from an authentic place. The words were healing wounds that once left me speechless.”
The affirmation she encouraged us to write is still the affirmation that charges me up daily. “I will stay in position” has been my testimony ever since I landed back home.
Sazjanee, Connecticut, U.S.
“Such an uplifting and transformative time spent with purposeful women. I walked away with so many gems.”
Thank you for being obedient to the call on your life.

“It was absolutely magical. Words can't express how grateful, blessed, and moved I feel after this workshop.”
Truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity to examine the heart and connect with other courageous women! I feel like I was crying for myself and every woman there...not to mention how inspired and proud I felt for every single woman who had the courage to really show up. Unlike anything I've ever felt.
Leez, Minnesota, U.S.
“3.5 hours of pure authenticity, healing, and empowerment with 13 beautiful women.”
After the workshop, I was reflecting, and God revealed that He healed me from self-rejection. I didn’t realize that this was an issue. But God showed me it was more than the harsh self-criticism that I struggled with. I feel so much more powerful, confident, and ready to be all God called me to be.
Letoya, New York, U.S.
This workshop created a safe space where we could unapologetically be ourselves. Empowering each other as we shared our stories and recognized that as women we are never alone. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to experience God in a new way, maybe feeling lost, and longing to connect with like-minded individuals.

Words can’t describe how powerful this workshop is! I was uplifted and spiritually renewed. The support from the other women was just heartwarming and comforting; they are the community I’ve always wanted.
Celma, Nottingham, England
The Dear Purposeful Women Circle of Transformation Program was more than I could have imagined it would be! I chose to participate because the purpose of the program aligned with the self-development and fulfillment journey I was on. It incorporated finding my purpose and understanding my calling—not just what my skills for a career were. My favorite part was the community element, as it assisted me in understanding and accepting pieces of my own journey. And I truly enjoyed the weekly discussions and the tools provided each week.

This program taught me to be more intentional about appreciating my ‘present situations’ and committing to the process vs. the outcome. Shandice provides a beautiful framework for you to take beyond this program to make sustainable, positive life changes.
- Joy, Berrien Springs, Michigan
I joined the program because I was at a point in my life where I was extremely overwhelmed and feeling like my cup had run dry. I needed to allow someone else to pour into me and that's what this program did! I learned the importance of taking time to explore who I am, what I like or dislike, and question why I act or react the way that I do. Learning that I tell myself stories is helping me to adjust my inner narrative and therefore have a better influence on those around me.

“The self-love and care that I learned and took home with me through Shandice’s Write Your Way Through It workshop has given me skills I use every day in my own healing and understanding God’s love for his daughters.”
I so connected with her personal story she shared with us, but the note cards, reminders, and parts of her book she so graciously gave us forever changed my perspective of how I see myself.
Carolyn, Georgia, U.S.
“Shandice gave me an experience that I will never forget with her workshop.”
There are many things I took away from her workshop, including her new book, that has really blessed me. The workshop allowed me to dig deep into some things that were tucked away, and I honestly enjoyed every aspect of her work and how sincere she is as she helps you tackle what the workshop requires.
Jillian, Connecticut, U.S.
“I was able to see pain from a different perspective while being given action steps on how to move forward on my inner healing journey.”
I thoroughly enjoyed engaging in this transformative experience. It is definitely one that I will keep in my healing toolbox and will revisit often.
Ramesha, Texas
I had the honor of having Shandice as a facilitator at The Free Woman Retreat. There aren’t enough words to describe what Shandice delivers in her workshop. Her ability to help women speak and move through their pain is beautiful to watch. She has such grace, and there is so much power in her words. She is a gift in any room she steps in. The women walked away free and filled with courage. Thank you, Shandice, for making an impact. You are truly amazing.
- Latoya Mathews, The Free Woman Retreat
We had the honor of hearing Shandice speak for the 1st time at a Women’s Conference I hosted. We selected Shandice to speak on “Purpose,” and it was one of the best speaking engagements on this topic we have heard! We still talk about how great she delivered her message and how her story and speaking resonates with us to this day! We loved how she was able to share about herself and her journey and guide us on how to find, live, and honor our purpose in life. We hope to have her back in the future for either another speaking event or a workshop.
