Hi, I’m Summer Smith Lee

Every leader faces seasons of transition, pressure, or uncertainty.


At Purpose Driven Coaching & Consulting, I help high-achieving Christian women navigate seasons of transition with clarity, confidence, and peace. You may look successful on the outside, but inside you feel stuck in overdrive — running on empty, questioning your next step, and longing for more alignment in every area of life.

That’s where I come in. By blending strategic insight with Spirit-led alignment, I guide women from striving in their own strength to thriving in God’s. Together, we’ll uncover the shifts that free you to lead with purpose, embrace your true design, and step boldly into the calling He’s prepared for you — not just professionally, but in every sphere of your life.

Work with Summer

It’s not about chasing the next achievement — it’s about alignment that sustains your leadership, your relationships, and your joy.

 I help women lead from God’s strength and peace — so they can love their lives and flourish in every season.

Seasons of Leadership,

Steps of Faith

For nearly 25 years, my life was defined by achievement, influence, and a constant drive to keep going. I led in demanding environments, built a business from the ground up, and made decisions that shaped people’s lives and futures.

From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, it often felt like survival.

My career began in engineering and project management for a major electric utility — long days, tight deadlines, and the weight of often being the only woman in the room. Later, I transitioned into financial planning and wealth management, guiding clients through seasons of change while quietly pushing through my own.

By every measure, I was thriving.

But beneath the surface, I was tired — the kind of tired that success can’t satisfy.
I didn’t realize how heavy it had all become until my body began to break under the weight of striving.

That breaking became my becoming.
Through pain, God met me with grace – showing me how to let my doing flow from receiving. He didn’t ask me to work harder; He invited me to rest deeper.

In the stillness, I learned what true success really is — not more achievement, but alignment.
Alignment with His rhythm. His peace. His pace.

“The turning point in my life was trading striving for surrender.”

Out of that surrender came Purpose Driven Coaching & Consulting — a space where I now walk with other high-achieving Christian women who are ready to exchange performance for peace and rediscover who they are in God’s rhythm. Through my own healing, God revealed four life-giving rhythms — Grace, Rest, Obedience, and Waiting — the foundation of the GROW Framework™.These rhythms didn’t come from theory. They were forged in the fire and refined through surrender. Now, they’re the pathway I use to help women lead and live from wholeness — no longer striving for impact, but anchored in peace and abiding in purpose.

Why Purpose Driven Coaching

 I’ve seen firsthand what happens when brilliant women lead without alignment: their lives look successful on the outside but feel strained and restless inside.

I know that tension firsthand. And I also know what happens when leaders realign:

 
Decisions are made with confidence and peace.
 Leadership flows from clarity, not pressure.
Work, relationships, health, and faith flourish together.

That’s why coaching matters. It’s not about adding more — it’s about hearing God clearly so you can lead powerfully.

This work is personal to me. It’s my testimony and my calling.

I want you to experience the freedom of surrendering ambition and agenda to God — because what He does with your yes will radically change your life.

I’m married to Jason Lee, a fellow entrepreneur and business owner. Our marriage, our church, and our shared love for fitness and the outdoors keep us grounded.

My prayer is that you experience that same wholeness — not just professional success, but a life that flourishes from walking in step with God..
