Renée Gotcher is a freelance writer and editor, a wife of 30 years and “retired” homeschooling mother of three daughters, and an outdoor-loving Colorado transplant who’s called the scenic town of Castle Rock her home for the past 14 years. A recovering perfectionist/overachiever who was blindsided by debilitating physical anxiety twelve years ago, Renée shares her journey to relieve anxiety, restore peace, and revive hope by stepping outside for sacred walks with her Savior on her blog, The Pace of Grace. She invites readers to stop striving to overcome anxiety alone and walk with God at His pace on the path to healing. Her latest published work appears in the recently released devotional book "Life Changing Stories: A Devotional Collection Revealing God’s Faithfulness and Transforming Power."
