Lyschel Burket, PCC, FRLC, CPC (APSATS), ADOH, CDGC-Candidate, has been working with women since 2008 as they take steps toward healing and their pursuit of God. She has facilitated support groups specific to partners of sex addicts since 2013 both locally in Knoxville, TN and online.
Lyschel is the Lead Hope Caster and Founder of Hope Redefined. She is also a current Board Member with APSATS. She desires to be a part of something so much bigger than herself as she continues to expand the reach of support for women who are facing similar things to her own recovery story. She and her husband, Garren, have five kids. Lyschel and Garren have been on the road of recovery since 2006.
Kristen "KK" Kelley is the Executive Assistant at Hope Redefined. She is trained as a peer facilitator through A Door of Hope (ADOH) and enjoys serving in administrative roles. Her desire to refine systems and processes behind-the-scenes in the community of Hope Redefined is ultimately a hope to create calm for women who are battling the turbulent storms of betrayal trauma.
After growing up on the South Dakota plains and raising her children in the Southwestern desert of New Mexico, she finds herself empty-nesting in Houston. She has been married 25 years and has been navigating the healing journey since 2004. Trips back and forth to Lawrence, Kansas, to visit her young adult children and to cheer on the KU Jayhawks have been recent highlights, though she hopes to pick up kettlebells and landscaping again soon!
Alicia Hall serves the Hope Redefined community as the Marketing, Communications and Groups Admin. She is passionate about reaching women of any age right where they are with the redemptive love of Christ. Throughout her life, Alicia has made mentoring relationships a focus, ranging from middle school teacher and girls bible study leader to Director of Spiritual and Social Care at Casa Esperanza in the jungles of Ecuador. She can’t wait to get to know and serve the ladies of the Hope Redefined Community as she joins them in traveling the healing journey together. Alicia has a Bachelor of Arts in English, and she desires to get the word out to every woman hurting from sexual betrayal by using her writing skills on our social media and resource platforms.
Currently, Alicia is enjoying the empty nest life with her husband and her basset hound Harvey. When she’s not reading a good book or watching PBS Masterpiece theater, you’ll find her hiking the closest trail.
Carrie Dodge is the Retreats Director for Hope Redefined. Carrie learned about Hope Redefined in 2021 and joined the staff team in 2023. She has a heart to help women who are walking this healing road and loves being involved with our unique and life-changing retreats.
Carrie and her husband, Jeremy, live in Albuquerque, New Mexico and have been married since 2000. They have an amazing son, and 3 crazy, male dogs. She admits there is just way too much testosterone in her home, so she loves being a part of a woman-focused ministry.
Rhonda Thomas has been a member of Hope Redefined since early 2020, and currently serves as the Online Community Manager. In her darkest moments, she draws comfort from the promise in Isaiah 43:2 (NLT) — “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Rhonda is passionate about betrayed partners finding help and hope through safe relationships and community, and reclaiming their identity in Christ. She trained as a peer facilitator with A Door of Hope.
In 2021 Rhonda started a virtual assistant business specializing in websites, graphic design, and technical/administrative tasks. She is a homeschool veteran and blessed to be Mimi to 7 lovely granddaughters. Rhonda lives in Western Washington with long-time friends and is owned by a ridiculously comical, scruffy young rescue pup who (sometimes!) answers to Leroy. Whenever the sun peeks out from behind the clouds, she revels in God’s creation and the divine orchestra of bird songs that fills the trees with their sweet music.
Nikki Jones is the Scholarship Coordinator at Hope Redefined. She began volunteering for Hope Redefined in 2023 and enjoys helping connect women with the resources at Hope Redefined. Nikki and her husband have two spoiled rotten cats and are currently exploring their way through the national parks of the United States.
Tami Rhymes serves as the Hope Online Content Manager. When she stumbled into Hope Redefined only a few months into her healing journey, she felt as if a candle had been lit in a dark and scary place. After participating in coaching, support groups and the Redeemed Hope Retreat, Tami began to experience not just healing, but a renewed heart and mind, and something she never thought possible - a glimpse of purpose from the pain. Now, she has the privilege of helping light that candle for other women on this journey, spreading the hope of God’s healing presence and good purpose for His mighty daughters.
A Mississippi girl living in Oklahoma, Tami loves travel, coffee, reading, walking, and lifting weights. Tami has been married for 36 years, and after earning her Master of Music in Voice Performance, she exited the opera stage to homeschool her three children. Now with an empty nest, Tami sometimes finds herself experimenting in the kitchen (sourdough is her current favorite), but she most often ends her days with music and a book on the back porch.
