Kimberly E Hock

Hi. I’m Kim. I believe the brokenness, injustice and harm in the world is immeasurable and it is no wonder we spend much of our lives numbing, avoiding or dismissing. As a child, I grew up in a home of secrets and silence. Then, later in life, I married a pastor where appearances and silence continued to be valued. The lessons throughout my life taught me to operate in a way where I strived to gain the approval of others and never cause disruption. This began and perpetuated the many harmful patterns of survival that hurt myself, my body, and my family. It’s because of my story that I cannot walk away from the profound need to make a positive impact in the healing of others. I feel a deep call to fight on behalf of those who continue to be taken advantage of, those who do not think they have a voice, and those who think their story does not matter.
