Terrie Chantel is a leadership speaker, IT executive, and author of Hard Season Sessions, an audiobook guiding women through burnout, loss, and rebuilding through faith.
With over 20 years in IT leadership, corporate training, and entrepreneurship, Terrie understands the pressure of high performance. She built a successful career and multiple businesses—only to lose it all when her mother died, her marriage ended, and her business collapsed.
In that valley, Terrie learned that resilience isn't about getting back to who you were; it's about discovering who God is calling you to become. Today, she helps leaders protect their energy, set healthy boundaries, and lead sustainably while staying rooted in faith and purpose.
Her work speaks to women carrying heavy loads: You don't have to lose yourself to lead well.
