Her story · Her faith · Her purpose

Meet Kelley Tyan

A courageous life isn’t a life without hard days. It’s choosing, by faith, to keep taking the next step.

When life changes the plan

My story has taught me where hope is found.

Kelley Tyan is a Christian author, speaker, and mentor who helps women deepen their faith, embrace courage, and walk confidently in their God-given purpose. She is the founder of Pray • Lead • Empower and the She Rises women’s mentorship, and co-hosts the Chosen by Jesus podcast with her daughter, Taylor. A breast cancer survivor, Kelley draws from her own seasons of struggle, surrender, and renewal to remind women that joy is possible—even in the middle of pain. Her heart is to help every reader know Jesus more deeply and trust that He has never left her side.

“The smile isn’t because the pain is gone. The smile is because Jesus never left.”
