There was never a single moment when Teresa Thomas-Smith became who she is.
There was, instead, a sacred unfolding — a soft but undeniable call from her soul saying, “Remember who you are.”

​

Long before titles or stages, there was a woman searching for peace in the middle of chaos, grace in the middle of pressure, and purpose in the middle of pain. That search became her path. That path became her practice. And that practice became her presence.

​

From that quiet transformation, Peaceful Soul was born — not as a business, but as a living altar where Teresa first met herself again. It was there she began guiding other women to meet their reflection — the whole woman behind the performance, the light beneath the layers, the essence beneath the expectations.

​

She learned, through her own unraveling, that leadership isn’t something you earn. It’s something you remember.

​

And so, TRANSFORM HER emerged — a sanctuary for women ready to return to themselves. Through sacred retreats, e-courses, workshops, and circles of truth, Teresa began teaching that softness is not weakness; it’s wisdom. That stillness is not stagnation; it’s strategy. That spirit is not an accessory; it is the source.

​

Each season of her evolution gave birth to language for what women had long felt but never named — The LeadHERship Codes, The Divine Blueprint, Counterfeit LeadHERship, and BEcoming EXTRAordinary.

 

These works became mirrors for women who had achieved success but lost touch with their souls. They became guides for remembering that true LeadHERship begins not in boardrooms, but in breathwork — not in titles, but in truth.

​

Teresa’s journey has never been linear. It has been cyclical — like the moon, like healing, like grace.

Her becoming led her into public service, where she now serves as the Mayor of the City of Palmetto, Georgia — the first woman and first African-American in the city’s 170-year history. But even here, she leads differently. She leads with humanity. She leads from her soul.

​

To her, leadership of a city and leadership of self are one and the same: both require empathy, harmony, and trust in divine timing. In every council meeting and every women’s circle, she carries the same vibration — love as governance, compassion as currency, authenticity as power.

​

Teresa’s life and work are inseparable. Each feeds the other.
When she speaks, her words don’t perform — they remember.

When she coaches, she doesn’t instruct — she invites.
When she leads, she doesn’t command — she cultivates.

​

Her teachings rise from the sacred soil of her own healing:
that imposter syndrome can become intimacy with self,
that unworthiness can be transmuted into worship,
that we can move from survival to soul-ular alignment,
and that transformation begins the moment we choose to come home to ourselves.

​

Through her global speaking, retreats, e-courses, and her forthcoming show TRANSFORM HER with Teresa Smith, she continues to guide women back to the center of their being — where peace lives, purpose breathes, and power remembers itself.

​

Her life’s mantra is simple yet profound:
Softness is sacred. Stillness is strategy. Spirit is the source.

​

Teresa Thomas-Smith is not merely a leader — she is a living reflection of what happens when a woman chooses to bloom anyway.

She is not finished — she is unfolding.
Always becoming.
Always remembering.
Always guiding others to do the same.
