Her Interview
Ten minutes with Felis
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the pain I have experienced, the transformation I have undergone, and the direction God has led me throughout my life. I am still growing, rising above adversity, and learning to love myself in ways I once found difficult. My experiences have helped me understand the struggles of others because I have walked through difficult seasons myself. I believe God has called me to use those experiences to guide and support people who are suffering. My success is meaningful because it allows me to help others navigate their journeys, discover hope, and move toward healing.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The most important guidance I have learned is to trust God and remain faithful to Him, regardless of what I face. When I take my eyes off Him, I can lose my direction, but I have learned that I can turn back to Him for guidance. My experiences have taught me to trust His plan, remain close to Him through difficult seasons, and continue moving forward in faith.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
When I began my journey, my response to God was, “Yes, Lord, send me.” I did not know exactly where the journey would lead, but I continued saying yes whenever I felt God calling me forward. My advice to young women entering ministry coaching is to trust God, remain open to His direction, and have faith that He can lead you toward opportunities beyond what you can imagine. Allow Him to work in you and through you rather than resisting the process. Continue to trust, grow, and follow your calling, even when you cannot see the entire path ahead.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in my work is helping people recognize that meaningful self-discovery can begin by asking the right questions. Many people do not take the time to explore what they are carrying within themselves or to reflect on the experiences affecting their lives. Through my coaching, I encourage individuals to look inward, express what they may have kept hidden, and discover insights that can help them move forward. I believe there is an opportunity to help people recognize their inner strengths, deepen their faith, and take meaningful steps toward personal growth and healing.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Truth and authenticity are among the most important values in my life. I believe in being honest, standing firm in what I believe, and refusing to compromise my principles to satisfy others or gain their approval. When I speak, I strive to speak with authority, conviction, and understanding. I recognize that standing by my values and saying no when necessary may not always be welcomed, but I believe it is important to remain true to myself. My life experiences have taught me resilience, and I am proud that the challenges I have faced have not broken my spirit. Above all, my faith in God guides my decisions and strengthens my commitment to helping others.

I Will Rise Again
A Spiritual Journey of Resilience, Healing, and Rising from the Ashes
By Felis Peterson
My name is Felis Noel Peterson, and I am still becoming.
I say this simply because there have been many versions of me, many stages of discovering my gifts, understanding who I am, and recognizing who I am becoming. No matter what the fire has taken from me, I know that I embody the flame. And I rise.
I am a Missouri author and the founder of Destiny Ministry Coaching. My mission is to help people who feel lost find their way back to God and, in doing so, find their place in this world again. I want to help people regain their peace, courage, faith, strength, and belief in themselves. I teach the importance of standing firmly within healthy boundaries and, most of all, learning to love yourself even in the midst of fear.
Who am I?
I am not a minister, and I do not believe I need a title to define my spiritual identity. Throughout my journey, I have come to understand myself as possessing many spiritual gifts. I describe these gifts through my light, my fire, my awareness, my energy, my frequency, my intuition, and my ability to serve as a mirror to others.
Spiritually, I understand myself as a healer, a warrior, an angel, and a star seed. I believe these gifts were placed within me before I entered this earthly life. I walk within this world while knowing that my spiritual identity reaches beyond it. Above every other description, I understand myself as a child of God.
Long before Destiny Ministry Coaching had a name, I had spent more than 20 years studying, encouraging, and coaching people. I have shown people the power I believe God has placed within them and encouraged them to believe in themselves and in their ability to heal.
That philosophy became the foundation of Destiny Ministry Coaching. My purpose is not to convince people that I possess some special ability to fix them. My purpose is to help them recognize the strength, faith, and capacity for healing that already exist within them. When people learn how to participate in their own healing, they can carry that knowledge into their families and communities and eventually help someone else.
I believe love is one of our greatest tools for doing that.
Sometimes we become so focused on telling people what they need to change that we forget to give them the love they need in order to hear us. There is a difference between demanding transformation and reaching someone's heart.
I have learned that genuine love can break through places that anger, yelling, judgment, and force cannot reach. When you approach someone's heart with sincere love, something begins to change. That is what I want my coaching to demonstrate.
I describe myself as a light. My purpose is to shine that light toward others, reach their hearts, and point them toward God. What happens after that belongs to God. The transformation is His work, not mine.
I know what it means to start over.
I know what it feels like to be overlooked, betrayed, abandoned, treated with scorn, isolated, and even to feel as though I had been buried and left for dead.
But I also had a blueprint for rising.
I learned how to dig myself out.
Those experiences became part of how I serve others today. I do not speak about rising because I have never fallen. I speak about rising because I know what the ground feels like.
My first book, Guiding the Lost: A Beacon for the Chosen, has been published and is available on Amazon. My journey continues through The Phoenix Rising series, including The Phoenix Rising: Twin Flame Healing and The Phoenix Rising: Twin Flame Transformation. These books will also be available on Amazon following their publication.
I write for the woman who believes her story is over.
I am living proof that it does not have to be.
The fire was never meant to finish me. It was meant to reveal me.
And so I rise.
If my life says anything to another woman, let it say this: your voice matters.
Your season is not over. It is not too late to rise. You do not have to be perfect before you begin again. You only need to be willing to surrender the ashes and trust that God is not finished with you yet.
I believe part of my purpose is to be a beacon that activates something within others, the courage to remember their strength, reclaim their voice, and believe that they can rise again.
If my rising helps even one woman believe that she can rise, then the fire I walked through was not wasted.
I will continue carrying the flame.
And I will rise again.
