Kimberlee Herman

When asked what she wanted to do when she grew up, 10 year-old Kim knew exactly what it was.

A nun and a truck driver. How sweet is that?

While she was not Catholic, she knew she wanted to be close to God and live a simple life. She also could not wait to drive and the idea of cruising around for work sounded ideal.

Apparently, trucking + nunning = counseling.

This math formula works for her. She is close to God and truly “drives” or leads people to Him. It is the best of both worlds and much easier than she envisioned as a child.

After 12 years as a state-licensed therapist Kimberlee chose (with God giving her a push) to be the “nun” that she dreamt about. She became ordained and licensed with a Christian counseling organization and has not looked back. That was in 2016.

Kimberlee received her BA from the University of Iowa in 1994 (Go Hawks!). She did a small stint in law school for a year (and asked herself what that had to do with her nun-trucking idea). She earned her Masters in social work (MSW) at Arizona State University in 2003; several certifications in inner- healing and deliverance; and a certification in Christian counseling in 2016.

Kimberlee has written a few books (Women of the Bible, My Christian Counseling Companion & My Self-Care Counseling Companion) and co-wrote a book (Wise Parenting: Guidelines from the Book of Proverbs) and has spoken at a few conferences.

Recently she started a brand new type of Podcast called "Promise Hill" in which she exercises her fictional writing skills mixed with faith-based reflections and counseling tools. She hopes to continue writing, counseling, speaking and podcasting along with her “habit” of driving people towards God.
