Rhonda Steele Plata is an author, speaker, and faith-filled encourager whose work is shaped by her emotional eating, rejection, and healing journey. She is passionate about helping others break free from shame and discover the more profound truth of God’s love.

Her own path was marked by early experiences of abandonment, trauma, and painful reminders that left lasting wounds. For years, food became her comfort and escape until she realized the struggle was more than physical; it was spiritual. Through prayer, scripture, and a renewed identity in Christ, she lost 170 pounds and found freedom that no diet alone could provide.

Rhonda writes with honesty and compassion, weaving biblical truth with personal testimony and practical reflection. Her mission is to encourage others who feel unworthy or trapped by emotional eating, showing that restoration and love are possible through faith.
