My Story
Hi ! I’m Kelley Gunter: a motivational speaker, life coach, survivor, emotional warrior, connoisseur of comfort food, and the author of You Have Such a Pretty Face. My painful journey to find peace and self-worth began with a 243-pound weight loss, included many dark moments of despair that eventually brought me to my knees. Broken and devastated in the aftermath of my own self-destruction, my fractured faith screamed out that somehow, I still had a faint pulse and my shattered heart was, in fact, still beating.
What I Do
I Speak.
As an internationally acclaimed inspiring and motivational Christian speaker, I speak to large and small audiences, live and virtually, on a variety of topics including PTSD, weight loss, addictions, trauma, sexual abuse, motivation, and faith. I acknowledge that without my strong faith in God, I wouldn’t be here today. A self-proclaimed, “Weapon against the darkness,” my message is clear: In spite of trauma and pain, peace and happiness do exist; healing and faith are the bridges that connect the two.
I Coach.
As your life coach my goal is to help you become the very best version of yourself. I help you accomplish your goals, make new changes, and live your dreams. I help you get from where you are in your life now, to where you want to go. I am a source of motivation and inspiration that gives you the push you need to reach your full potential. I would love the opportunity to help you find your peace and happiness. Just as I was able to find my way to a healthy, happy life, I can help you do the same thing.
I Write.
You Have Such a Pretty Face: A Memoir of Trauma, Hope, and the Joy That Follows Survival, is an Amazon number 1 bestseller. In this book I describe my 243 pound weight loss journey and provides inspiration, motivation, and guidance to readers who have grappled with personal body image, yo-yo dieting, lifelong weight issues, or even morbid obesity. I tell the triumphant story of a desperate, but determined woman who takes matters into her own hands and reclaims the life she deserves.

The Magic of Apple Juice
Have I mentioned I hate the dentist? About a week prior to leaving for LA, I had a crown come off of a molar and part of the remaining tooth beneath broke off as well. My dentist stated I had a large amount of decay; the tooth could not be saved and would have to be...
The Cemetery of My Soul
The hardest funerals to attend are the ones for people who are still living. I found myself studying all of the empty graves lined up inside of my heart—graves that had no bodies to fill them, only the memories of people I loved very much and the ghosts whispering...
I Know You’re Laughing and Wearing Red
Happy Mother’s Day in heaven to my Mom and my Grandma, who we lovingly called Nonnie—the women who raised me. Upon their arrival, I’m sure heaven had a little more laughter, and the earth, especially the part I occupied, was definitely lacking some after their...
