About Connie

Connie Padmore | Founder & Chief Encourager

I'm currently a writer, speaker and the leader of a community of phenomenal women at Unveiled. Together, we help women make space to listen for God's voice, and to use our own.

I spent most of my career preparing speakers for the main stage, but I was a TERRIFIED public speaker. I loved being hidden, behind the scenes.

But God loves bringing hidden things to LIGHT.

So He delivered me from my fear of public speaking. And I finally figured out that during all those years of preparing speakers, He was preparing me to write and to speak (I’m a little slow!).

So I took a leap, started Unveiled | Created to be a Voice and here I am helping others trample fear and use their God-given voice. I write a lot over on my blog about learning to hear God's voice, walking by faith and overcoming fear in seasons of transition.  I also speak at women's events and lead group and individual coaching sessions to help women find their voice in pursuit of God's voice. 

I hope you'll stick around and learn more about what we're doing. I'd love to get to know you!
