Meet the Founder
A Heart for Restoration
Welcome to Radiant Daughters Collective! My name is Mary Viator and I am grateful you're here. My ministry came to fruition after the Lord redeemed and restored my life from a secret I held for 40 years....the secret of an abortion.
Â
God didn't just heal my wound — He gave me a new assignment. After three decades of serving clients as a real estate professional, I felt a clear and steady call to pivot toward a different kind of stewardship - stewarding the hearts of women who have experienced the heartbreak of abortion and other trauma.
​
A Note from Mary's Mentor:
"I've had the joy of walking alongside Mary in A Woman's Quest, and I can tell you without hesitation — she is the real deal.. Faithfully, consistently, wholeheartedly — she's been present for every step of this Quest. When I needed a co-leader for the AWQ Retreat, Mary was the first person I thought of, and she poured herself into that role with a tenderness and passion that blessed every woman in the room.
​
What strikes me most about Mary is how she's turned a vision and a dream into active, faithful steps — trusting God with the outcome and obediently moving forward. That's rare. That's leadership. She is highly skilled, deeply dedicated to her own growth, and carries a shepherd's heart for the women she serves.
​
I have no doubt that Radiant Daughters Collective will be a place of real healing and breakthrough for many women — because Mary leads from a place of authenticity, humility, and love. I'm honored to endorse her and this ministry, and I can't wait to see what God does through it." ♡ Pat

Mission Statement
Radiant Daughters Collective offers Christ-centered restorative Bible studies and sacred retreats designed to unite women who are seeking restoration from abortion and life’s deepest wounds.
​
Our purpose is to guide women to receive the gift of God’s love and grace to bring about healing, renewal and deep transformation — resulting in a powerful sense of peace, wholeness and a restored identity as a radiant daughter of God.
Foundational Beliefs & Core Values
1. Glory
God-Centered Stewardship & Identity
We believe in one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — who created everything and invites us into a personal relationship with Him.
Radiant Daughters Collective exists solely to glorify God.
We operate as humble vessels, ensuring that every success is recognized as His blessing rather than our own achievement.
OUR FOUNDATION
Radiant Daughters Collective exists for one reason: To glorify God by walking alongside women on their journey toward healing, identity and freedom in Christ. Everything we do flows from these 4 pillars.
2. Gospel Truth
Purpose Found in Jesus Christ
Jesus is the Son of God
who became fully human
to rescue us;
through His life, death, and resurrection, we find forgiveness, purpose and eternal life.
We believe the Bible is God's inspired Word — the only trustworthy guide for
life, faith and truth
in every generation.
3. Growth
Transformation Through the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit lives in all who follow Jesus —
guiding, empowering, and transforming us to become more like Christ.
We prioritize intentional spiritual growth, creating environments through study and retreats where the Spirit can move freely to transform our hearts and character.
4. Grace-Led Sisterhood
Salvation as a
Free Gift
Salvation is a gift from God, offered freely to all —
not earned, but received by grace through faith in Jesus.
In response to this grace, we foster a Grace-Led Sisterhood, welcoming women into a sacred space where they can experience freedom and newness of life, and encouraging them to share the word of their testimony with others.
A note from our founder
A Vessel for His Grace
A Vessel for His Grace
Mary believes that no life is too broken for the hands of the
Great Physician.
After 40 years of personal brokeness and experiencing the Lord's healing power, God gave her a clear call:
go and tell of His salvation, redemption and restoration.
​
Radiant Daughters Collective
was born from a simple desire —
to step aside and make room for God's redeeming love to do what only
He can do.
The Heart of the Collective
Our role is simple: to steward a sacred, confidential harbor for women seeking healing and peace.
​
Whether we're meeting in-person or virtually for an 8-session study;
OR gathering quietly on the
Emerald Coast of Florida
for a hybrid retreat, the mission remains the same — to give you a safe space to lay down the heartbreak of abortion or other trauma, and let the Holy Spirit begin
His deep work of healing.
Unto His Glory
Everything we do is for the glory
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who calls us out of darkness and
into His marvelous light.
​
We are honored to walk alongside you in a community where your privacy is protected and your transformation
is authored by God alone.
