Stronger with Dr. Teresa A. Smith: Transforming Adversity

My debut book, Stronger: How Overcoming Life’s Adversities Can Push You Into Your Purpose, reflects the core of my mission: helping others transform hardship into purpose. In Stronger, I share my personal story of navigating childhood abuse, bullying, and health challenges. But instead of letting these experiences define me, I chose to use them as fuel for growth.

Romans 8:28 ESV says, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” This powerful verse is a reminder that even our struggles serve a purpose. Every hardship can bring us closer to our true calling if we approach it with faith and resilience. Stronger is a guide to building that resilience, helping you discover strength you may not realize you have, so you can move confidently toward your life’s purpose.

From Bravery to Victory: Harnessing Faith in Tough Times

When facing adversity, fear can make us feel stuck or unable to move forward. From Bravery to Victory is a book I wish I’d had during my toughest times, when fear felt overwhelming. This book provides a roadmap for anyone needing guidance to move through challenges with faith and bravery, even when life feels insurmountable.

As Proverbs 3:5-6 GNT reminds us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.From Bravery to Victory encourages you to lean into faith and trust God’s plan, especially during difficult times. By focusing on these principles, you can turn fear into faith and find victory through adversity. This book shows you how to tap into the bravery you already have to push forward, no matter the challenges you face.

2 Corinthians 5:17 ERV says, “When anyone is in Christ, it is a whole new world. The old things are gone; suddenly, everything is new!” This scripture captures the essence of The Bounce Back—you are not defined by your past but by how you rise from it. This book will guide you in letting go of the old and embracing the new, helping you take control of your life and rediscover your true purpose.

Healthy Recipes with Dr. Teresa A. Smith: Fuel for Growth

Transformation isn’t complete without taking care of your physical health. After undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, I committed to a healthier lifestyle, which led to my cookbook, Transform with TAS Healthy Recipes. This collection of protein-packed, nutritious recipes offers delicious options for anyone seeking to prioritize health. As a Southern cook, I know the importance of flavorful meals, and I’ve modified my favorites to support a healthier lifestyle.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 MEV us, “…Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God, and that you are not your own? You were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

By caring for our bodies, we honor the gift of health. This cookbook is designed to make healthy eating enjoyable and sustainable, empowering you to fuel your transformation journey with nourishing meals.
