Vanessa is a passionate storyteller and speaker who empowers women to break free from the weight of performance and step into the radical grace of God. Her heart beats for helping women embrace their worth—not because of what they do or how they look, but because of who they are in Christ.

A lover of dance, travel, and good conversation, Vanessa brings joy and authenticity to everything she does. Her writing is shaped by her own journey through shame, perfectionism, and performance-based identity—transformed by the unconditional love of Jesus. Her debut book, No More Shame: Grace in Chaos, helped countless women begin their healing journey, and The Weight of Worth, her second book and first fiction novel, continues that mission through the power of story.

Together with her husband Keith Bell, Vanessa co-leads Blank Page to Author (blankpagetoauthor.com), a coaching program that helps aspiring authors turn their blank pages into published books. Their signature course delivers what they lovingly call the “Ritz-Carlton” experience—a structured, high-touch, luxury process that blends accountability, strategy, and AI-powered writing tools to help new authors write with confidence and clarity. Through their proven system, they’ve helped writers from all walks of life find their voice, finish their manuscript, and step boldly into their calling.

Vanessa resides in Georgia with her loving family, where she continues to write, coach, and cheer on women walking in grace and freedom.
