Welcome

I spent 40 years learning to be afraid. Then, at 3:30 in the morning in a Jerusalem hotel room, something changed. I write about that night, and everything that led to it — because I believe your story isn’t finished yet either.

I spent 40 years learning to be afraid. Then I stopped.

My memoir is finally in the world, and I’m so glad you’re here. It’s the story of what I held onto, why I held on so tight, and what it took to open my hands.

You can find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I’m Kristy Sullivan. I live in the Nashville, Tennessee area with my husband Dewayne, two grown children, and three grandchildren who have rearranged everything in the best possible way. By day, I lead product designers at Ramsey Solutions, helping people understand complex things through clarity and simplicity. I write about fear, faith, and the long, ordinary work of becoming free.
