facts about reagan ivey
(that you should probably know...)
I am a social introvert! I love people, getting coffee, concerts, conferences, etc. but I definitely need my alone time!
I am a book worm! I think that fiction books can be digital or paperback, but Jesus/Life Books have to be paper or hard back. I have to underline and write in it to really take it in, so if you ever get a book from me it will be a new book!
I believe that a great way to get to know someone is watching a movie or tv show together. If you didn't laugh or cry at that one scene we might not be able to be friends!
If you ever talk to me for very long you will find out what I am newly obsessed with! I will have watched a billion youtube videos and know way to much about that topic!
I am passionate about the fact that you are called to do what you are doing and will do anything I can to help you step out into it! I want to help you take off the lid that keeps you bottled up potential!

Driven by a deep conviction and my own transformative journey, I embarked on 'The Ivey Collective' podcast to cultivate a space where genuine, faith-forward conversations could flourish. The name stems from my own surname, 'Ivey,' which not only signifies identity but also mirrors the ivy plant's tenacity, growth, and interconnectedness. Just as ivy thrives in various conditions, so too do our stories of faith and purpose. 'The Ivey Collective' represents a united community, resiliently growing together, intertwining our narratives to inspire and elevate each other.
