About Life Skills House

Life Skills House was founded as a Texas not for profit 501(c)(3) organization. We provide Christian based spiritual and financial coaching for for multicultural young women, including but not limited to, those who were victims of human trafficking, those who are pregnant and single mothers from economically challenged backgrounds, ages 15-25, who are serious about breaking free from a lifestyle of impoverishment. We offer assistance to young women as they move from dependent, often abusive relationships, into independent self-sufficient lifestyles.

Our passion is to help participants receive spiritual and emotional healing from their painful past to be set free and embrace their God-designed bright future. We believe that it is imperative to portray Christianity as a lifestyle. We are committed to walk alongside them as they learn to invite Christ to take the lead in every area of their lives so that change will take root from the inside out. A close walk with Christ coupled with the coaching sessions will be empowering; they will no longer be seen as a liability in the community but instead major contributors in accomplishing God's purpose and plan on this earth.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Leah Gonzales.
Leah, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was born and raised in Louisiana where I was a single mom and learned many valuable lessons as I pressed past the financial struggles that come with being a single parent. Once I moved to Texas, I worked my way up the corporate ladder. My corporate experience encompassed sixteen years of office management in the oil and gas industry and aviation business. While working as an office manager, I learned the necessary skills to run every department in an office environment as well as the skills to recession-proof a small business. These skills proved to be very beneficial as I embarked on the next phase in my life. It was at that time that God called me to start pouring into young single moms and sharing some of the strategies that I learned along the way. keep reading...
