About Cyndrea

I'm Cyndrea — writer, prophetic voice, homeschool mom, and kingdom business builder. I'm also the fifth of nine children, raised by my grandparents in Seattle while my parents battled addiction and cycled in and out of jail.

There were seasons we went without. There were also seasons my grandparents' love and faith covered what circumstance couldn't. Somewhere in those early years, ambition took root in me — not the clean, aspirational kind people like to talk about, but the kind that's forged from watching what happens when life falls apart and deciding, quietly, that yours won't.

So I built.

I was entrepreneurial as a kid. I took college classes in high school and graduated with my associate's degree. I finished undergrad in three years, earned my master's from USC, and landed my first job out of grad school at one of the largest PR firms in the world. I bought an investment property at 25. I started my own business at 28 and ran it for seven years. By most measures, I was doing it. People were impressed. I was impressive.

And then God said, that's cute. Now let me show you the cracks.

Over the last year, He allowed much of what I'd built to crumble — not to punish me, but to free me. He showed me that I had built from a place of pain, not purpose. That my drive had been fueled by old wounds I'd never let Him touch. And then, gently and relentlessly, He walked me through the healing of those wounds.

Then He said, okay. Now let me show you what it's like to build from a place of purpose instead of pain.

That's where I am now.

I'm a wife and a mother of four — Naomi, Mehkai, Nia, and the one still being knit together as I write this, due in September. I'm also a bonus mom for two beautiful girls, Kayden and Kaylin. This July, we're leaving public school behind to begin our homeschool journey as a family. I'm writing. I'm studying. I'm learning to listen. I'm rebuilding a business vision from a completely different foundation than the one I built the first time.

My first book, Spilled Milk, is a collection of poetry. My second, Revelation from the Ruins, is the book God pulled out of me during the crumbling — part testimony, part teaching, part invitation. More is coming: workbooks, kingdom business materials, and whatever else He puts in my hands.

If any of this resonates — if you're in your own season of rebuilding, if you've been quietly wondering whether what you've built was built on the right foundation, if you're ready to live differently this time — I'd love to walk with you.
