Where Biblical Truths Spark Growth & Transformation
Hey Lady! I’m Dr. Sherunda Simone.
A believer, wife, mother of five in a beautifully blended family, and yes, a woman who considers coffee a gift from God!
​
For over 15 years, I’ve practiced as a Podiatrist and hold a Master’s in Public Health. I graduated from medical school in North Shores, Florida, and began my professional career in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — where I met and married the love of my life, Laraun. Fourteen years, five children, and countless seasons of growth later, our family now calls Thomasville, Georgia home.
Today, I continue to serve patients in-office and perform outpatient surgeries for our nation’s Veterans, which remains one of my greatest honors. However, beyond seeing patients, my God-given purpose is helping women grow into everything God designed them to be!
​You will find my message helpful and life transforming, in the Lord!

God's Purpose Found Me
In 2006, while in my second year of medical school, I was awakened from sleep by the Holy Spirit with clear instructions:Start a motivational speaking company.That night, with a notebook beside me and fire in my heart, E.S.T.E.E.M. Motivational Speaking, LLC was born — Empower, Strengthen, Teach, Enrich, Energize, and Motivate. My mother (a lawyer) helped file the paperwork, and I’ve been walking in that calling ever since alongside seeing patients.
​
I speak because God told me to.
I lead ladies because I was called to.
I use my voice because we are all sent for someone!
​
I often joke that since I began speaking clearly at nine months old I haven’t stopped since; but it’s okay because now I get paid to do it! I’ve always had a passion for using my voice to teach, encourage, and bring light where it’s needed most.Over the years, I’ve given keynote addresses, commencement speeches, and leadership trainings across the U.S. and internationally. I’ve authored several books, including my latest book, God, Is It My Turn Yet? is coming soon! This one is for all my ladies who are struggling in their waiting season! I got you!
As time went on, my focus shifted. I realized my calling wasn’t just about speaking to professionals; it was about speaking to the hearts of women — wives, mothers, and goal getters— who are juggling faith, family, and their God-given purpose.
Why I do What I do
"I will either see you AT the top, or FROM the top. You decide."-
Dr. Sherunda Simone
The Bible tells us that we are called to be salt and light — adding flavor, preserving truth, and showing the world what faith looks like in action. Come on Matt 5!
That’s why I use my platforms — from books and YouTube to conferences and retreats — to help women grow through God’s Word, not just around it. We do life, together in this community.
Whether I’m in scrubs or on stage, I’m here to remind you: your current season still counts. Even the waiting season. Nothing is wasted with God!
There’s purpose in your pause, strength in your stretch, and God's grace for your struggle.

My Mission
​
To help women:
-
Grow spiritually through sharing Biblical truths
-
Build confident identities rooth in God's Word and their authority
-
Walk in their purpose even while life is busy, full, and messy
​
Lady, you don't need a perfect life to step into purpose.
You don't even need total clarity.
You need to walk in obedience, even when you don't feel ready. You need to overcome the spirit of fear.
You need to avoid isolation and embrace community - welcome!
