We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alisha Moore. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alisha below.

Alright, Alisha thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

For years, I felt like a misfit in my own life. My experiences as a recovering addict, domestic violence survivor, and someone who had endured family rejection left me feeling unmoored, even after decades of struggling to find my place. I lived in fear, shame, and doubt, constantly searching for a path to freedom but never fully stepping into it.

The turning point came after I faced 15 years of rejection, depression, and grief. I hit rock bottom emotionally, realizing that I had spent too much time being defined by my pain instead of the purpose God had for me. I remember attending a conference that shifted everything. The speaker shared a testimony about how trauma doesn’t just take away your joy—it steals your identity. It hit me hard. My heart ached as I saw myself in every word they spoke, but it also ignited something I hadn’t felt in years: hope.

That day, I gave God my “yes.” I surrendered my pain, shame, and fear, committing to fully stepping into His plan for my life. I realized I wasn’t the only one who felt like a misfit—there were countless others struggling to reclaim their identity after trauma. I knew what it was like to be overlooked and misunderstood, and I wanted to help others break free from those chains.

I took a leap of faith and enrolled in a 10-month Christian counseling course. It wasn’t just a course—it was a transformative journey that taught me about grief, loss, spiritual temperament, and the power of prayer. But more than that, it taught me how to live again. By the end, I felt something I hadn’t felt in years: confidence. For the first time, I saw myself not as a victim of my circumstances but as a vessel for healing.

My defining moment didn’t come with applause or fanfare—it came in a quiet moment of clarity when I realized that my pain was my platform. Misfits like me needed someone who understood their struggles, someone who could say, “I’ve been there, but I didn’t stay there.” That revelation changed the trajectory of my career.

Today, as a life coach, I am passionate about helping others restore joy, rebuild purpose, and embrace the unique identity God gave them. My journey taught me that our greatest struggles often birth our greatest callings. Misfits don’t need fixing—they need guidance to rediscover who they were always meant to be.

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned, it’s this: your past doesn’t define you; it prepares you. When you surrender your pain to God, He turns it into a testimony that can change lives—including your own.

Alisha, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Introducing ReJoyce Consulting: Coaching Misfits Through Trauma Recovery

I am a Christian trauma recovery life coach, and my mission is to guide misfits—those who feel out of place, misunderstood, or overlooked—toward healing and reclaiming their God-given identity. My journey to becoming a life coach began with my own battles as a misfit. I’ve endured the sting of rejection, the grip of addiction, the devastation of domestic violence, and the weight of grief. For years, I lived in the shadows of trauma, questioning my worth and struggling to find my place in the world.

But through God’s grace and relentless pursuit of healing, I discovered that being a misfit wasn’t a weakness—it was a divine calling. God doesn’t discard misfits; He equips them to lead others toward freedom. Today, I proudly lead ReJoyce Consulting, where I specialize in helping those who have experienced trauma rebuild their lives with purpose and joy.

How I Got Into Coaching Misfits

My journey into coaching began with a decision to stop running from my pain and to surrender fully to God. After years of feeling stuck, I attended a life-changing conference that awakened me to the truth: trauma had stolen my identity, but it didn’t have to define my future. That realization inspired me to give God my “yes” and take bold steps toward healing, which ultimately led me to complete a 10-month Christian counseling course.

During this program, I gained the tools to not only heal myself but to guide others through their own recovery journeys. My life experiences, combined with biblical principles and professional training, became the foundation for my work as a life coach to misfits—those who, like me, have felt broken by life’s challenges yet are ready to rise above them.

What I Offer

At ReJoyce Consulting, I create a safe, compassionate space where misfits can heal and thrive. My services include:
• Trauma Recovery Coaching: Personalized, one-on-one coaching sessions to address emotional wounds and rebuild self-worth.
• Group Coaching Programs: Supportive communities for misfits to connect, share, and grow while learning how to overcome trauma.
• Faith-Based Tools: Digital resources rooted in scripture to help clients heal spiritually, emotionally, and mentally.

The Problems I Solve

Trauma often leaves people feeling invisible, disconnected, and stuck in survival mode. I help clients:
• Heal from past wounds and break free from limiting beliefs.
• Rediscover their identity and embrace their uniqueness as misfits.
• Rebuild their confidence and live with intentionality and joy.
• Reconnect with God and align their lives with His purpose.

What Sets Me Apart

What makes ReJoyce Consulting unique is my personal connection to the struggles my clients face. I don’t approach coaching as someone who’s always had it together—I coach from the trenches, from the perspective of someone who has walked through the fire and emerged stronger.

My work is deeply rooted in biblical principles, and I specialize in working with individuals who feel like they don’t fit in traditional spaces. I don’t see misfits as broken; I see them as trailblazers with untapped potential, and my goal is to help them embrace that truth.

What I’m Most Proud Of

I’m proud to be living proof that trauma doesn’t have to define your life. I’ve gone from feeling invisible and rejected to standing confidently in my calling as a coach to the misfits. Watching my clients transform, heal, and step into their purpose is the greatest reward.

What I Want You to Know About Me and My Work

At ReJoyce Consulting, we celebrate misfits. We believe that those who feel like they don’t belong are often the ones God chooses to do extraordinary things. I want potential clients to know that this is a safe space for healing, growth, and rediscovery.

If you’ve felt defined by your trauma or like you’ll never truly fit anywhere, I want you to know there’s hope. Together, we can turn your pain into power and help you step confidently into the life God designed for you. Misfits aren’t meant to fit in—they’re meant to stand out, and I’d be honored to help you shine.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

For much of my life, rejection felt like a constant companion. I grew up believing I had to earn love, approval, and belonging. When I didn’t, the sting of rejection left me feeling unworthy and isolated. That pain carried into adulthood, compounded by trauma from addiction, domestic violence, and even rejection within my family.

One defining moment of resilience came during a particularly dark season. I had just lost a close relationship, and the pain triggered every insecurity I’d ever buried. I questioned whether I was too broken to ever truly heal or be loved. I remember one night sitting in my car, crying out to God. I was exhausted—emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I told Him I couldn’t do it anymore, not like this.

That night, God reminded me of something profound: Rejection isn’t the end of your story—it’s redirection. It wasn’t an instant shift, but it was enough to spark hope. Slowly, I began to rebuild.

I started saying “yes” to opportunities that scared me, like enrolling in a Christian counseling course that focused on trauma recovery. I faced my past head-on, processing years of grief and learning to embrace the woman God created me to be. I stopped trying to fit into spaces that weren’t meant for me and began creating my own, where I could thrive as my authentic self.

Resilience wasn’t about erasing the pain; it was about learning to stand firm in the midst of it. I learned to trust God’s plan, even when rejection felt unbearable. Each time I wanted to give up, I reminded myself of the misfits who, like me, felt unseen and unloved. If I could endure, I could help them.

Today, that resilience fuels my work as a trauma recovery life coach. My scars remind me that survival isn’t the end goal—thriving is. Resilience is what carried me through the fire, and now I use my story to help others rise from the ashes of their own pain.

The lesson I’ve learned is this: Rejection doesn’t disqualify you. In God’s hands, it prepares you for something greater. That truth has become the foundation of my life and my mission to help others heal and reclaim their joy.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I remember praying one night, asking God why I always felt so empty and unworthy. His answer was clear: Your worth isn’t in what you do—it’s in who you are. That truth began to break the chains of striving and performing.

Unlearning this belief wasn’t easy. It required me to confront the lies I had internalized for years and replace them with God’s truth. I learned to set boundaries, to say “no” without guilt, and to prioritize my healing. Most importantly, I learned to see myself through God’s eyes—as someone deeply loved and worthy, not because of what I do, but because of who He created me to be.

This shift transformed not only my personal life but also my work as a life coach. It’s why I’m so passionate about helping misfits—people who feel out of place or unworthy—heal from the lies that trauma and rejection have told them.

The lesson I had to unlearn is that my worth isn’t something to earn; it’s something I already have. That truth has set me free, and it’s the foundation of the work I do to help others reclaim their identity and joy.
