On October 6, 2026, Dr. Rhodes will release The Return Experience™, a personalized app created for high-achieving Christian women. The experience includes video lessons taught directly by Dr. Rhodes and an AI coach she spent months shaping and refining to reflect her distinctive voice, philosophy of whole-person formation, and nearly 30 years of professional experience. Through personalized Scripture, prayer, guided reflection, journaling, emotional regulation practices, and Daily Rhythms of Formation™, the app supports women in prayerful discernment and faithful stewardship.
