Tammy’s story
Tammy Kennington is an author, speaker, podcaster, inner healing prayer practitioner, and dually certified mental health and life coach who leads women from hardship to hope and shares the love of Christ with the young and young at heart. She writes children’s fiction and nonfiction, women’s Christian nonfiction, and Christian romantic suspense.
Her love for writing began when she was eight years old and penned her first poem. Its early publication in Rural Montana magazine set her dreaming of writing books. Today she has written five children’s nonfiction books for education publishers, including Beluga Whales and Penguins from Cherry Lake Publishing, and preschool curriculum for the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). She contributed to the anthology Sustaining Life’s Victories and the Creative Writing Journal, and her articles have appeared on Crosswalk.com, iBelieve, Bible Study Tools, AriseDaily.com, Refresh Magazine, The Upper Room, and MomCo.
Tammy has served in education for more than twenty years. She holds a master’s in teaching, a BA in Elementary Education with an Early Childhood endorsement, and a certificate in the Foundations of Trauma, and she is a Certified Academic Language Therapist who continues to help students with dyslexia. Her desire to walk alongside hurting women led her to become a certified life coach. She also holds an ACSI Mental Health Coaching certificate and is an inner healing prayer practitioner.
On the From Hardship to Hope podcast, Tammy and her guests talk honestly about motherhood, mental health, and matters of faith. She speaks at churches, moms’ groups, women’s retreats, educator conferences, schools, and community groups, and she co-directs the Family Christian Book Fest in Colorado Springs.
Tammy shares four amazing young adult children and three snuggly grandchildren with her husband. She loves kayaking, quiet moments on the beach, and sitting on the back deck with a warm cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.
