We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Sandra Webster a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Sandra thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?

RESTOREHer Place a 24-month Transitional Living was designed to provide a stable, safe, and structured residential program for homeless, formerly incarcerated, addicted, and domestic abuse single women, and women with children. It was birthed out of my own personal challenges with addiction, homelessness, and abuse.
As God helped me overcome these hurdles in my own life He placed this burden/ calling on my life to serve something BIGGER THAN ME. To open a house for women to have the opportunity to work on themselves while pursuining their own personal goals. This is not a job or career for me this is MY LIFE-LONG PASSION! To see women RESTORED PERSONALLY & SPIRITUALLY!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

SANDRA’S STORY
I’ve had to overcome many painful challenges in my life from childhood abuse, drug addiction, and prison. I believe it’s why I’m so passionate about helping women ARISE FROM ASHES TO BEAUTY.

Growing up, I had to endure many forms of abuse from verbal to sexual abuse. This environment led me to look for love, acceptance, and identity in the world and make many poor choices. I was in such a physically abusive relationship, one day I found myself being chased down the street in broad daylight by my kid’s father with a butcher knife in his hand. Only by the grace of God, I escaped death. He also introduced me to crack cocaine and there began my spiral downwards for many years…11 years to be exact. Drugs and alcohol were my escape from every hurt, rejection, and abuse. It numbed all the pain even if it was temporary. It was a slippery slope until one day, it consumed all of my life. I began committing criminal activity to support my drug habit which led me to earn my position at a women’s prison. My lowest moment would pave the way to the Highest. It was there I was introduced to a man named Jesus. Before then I only knew of Jesus as the baby in the manger on Christmas. But God sent a divine teacher to me in prison. She made Jesus real to me!!!

I invited Jesus into my heart and my existence was forever changed. I immediately experienced joy, love, acceptance, and freedom I had never experienced in all my life. From that day forward, I knew that there was a God and He was real! Only through Jesus Christ I am a different woman and I now embrace my past as an opportunity to speak into other women’s lives. It’s my dream to empower, encourage, and equip women everywhere to fulfill their destined roles in the kingdom of God! Now, after 22 years, I have served as Founder of RESTOREHer Place & Overseer/CEO at Total Restoration Ministries alongside the Senior Pastor Anthony. I’ve earned my Associates & Ministerial degrees from Harvest Bible University. I’ve worked with women’s shelters for over 22 years, having the opportunity to uplift and encourage broken women who desperately need to know they are loved by the One who matters most. God has FAVORED me to be His Voice and touch the lives of hundreds of women across conferences, retreats, and workshops. God has recently led me to begin a FEARLESS JOURNEY & CHALLENGE to start over again; that’s where Sandra Perez-Webster LLC.

Sandra has shared her story and God’s word with hundreds of women at conferences, retreats, and workshops for over 22 years. She’s passionate about empowering, equipping, and encouraging women through her life-changing and relevant messages.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

After the death of my husband of 20 years marriage due to COVID in December 2020 Ive had to reinvent, shift, transition, and pivot my whole life. I go one day from being a wife to a widow. Im currently in this season of transitioning from Pastor to Christian Life Coach and focusing more on mentorship.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

I invested in a Kingdom Business Coaching Program in 2017 where I learned the value, importance, and relevance of our VOICE on SOcial Media. Social Media is a great tool to get your VOICE to others all around the world who in times past wouldnt have that kind of access. Im kinda self taught and Social Media is always evolving, so stay teachable and a student. None of know it all.
