Khara Skidgel

Dr. Khara Beth Skidgel is a truth-teller, trauma-survivor, and tenderhearted warrior who believes that healing isn’t just possible—it’s holy. A single mom turned scholar, Khara earned her doctorate while rebuilding her life from the ashes of abuse, heartbreak, and survival. Through her journey from homeless to healing, she found not just safety, but purpose.

With pink lipstick, a prayer journal, and a fierce faith, Khara now leads women toward wholeness with grace, grit, and God at the center. Her debut book, Live Big Love Bigger: Reclaiming Your Life One Brave Moment at a Time, is a soul-deep invitation to rise, reclaim, and rewrite your story—no matter how broken it began.

When she’s not writing, Khara can be found leading leadership trainings by day, playing golf with her boys, and sprinkling hope like confetti across coffee shops and conference stages. She believes healing happens in seconds and in seasons, in scriptures and in silent moments—and that living loved is the bravest thing you’ll ever do.
