    Trusting Divinity through Challenging Times

    Trusting Divinity through Challenging Times

    The lives of young people today are full of uncertainty and stress. They are making decisions on relationships, schooling, and career paths and then there is the stress of the pandemic and social disconnection.
    Wendy Van Dam focuses on helping young women in the millennial generation live their life fully through trusting divinity. Wendy (Ms. Divinity) shares her own life path and how she got caught up in other people's expectations. She talks about how she was living roles she thought she wanted but she still didn't feel satisfied with her life. She said she felt like a "robot" going through the motions. She eventually sought out a business coach who helped her "bring her soul alive" through learning how to trust divinity. She felt empowered to create her own life and leave her limiting beliefs behind.
    Ms. Divinity helps young women find and pursue what makes their spirit soar. She is a mentor who helps young people follow their heart in choosing their career and life path. Wendy talks about "turning the lights on" in your beliefs and spirituality and to trust in your higher power and the spirituality that lives in you. Listen to inspiration about what your higher power is calling you to. Ms. Divinity invites people to become the next best version of themselves. She helps them create a vision of "what would I love." What are your gifts and talents you can use to bless the lives of others? What does it look like to Dream Big? Wendy teaches people how to ALLOW GRACE into their lives to change them for the better. She inspires people to let go of judgement and cocreate with God. To step out in faith and trust their higher power.
    "You put in the work and let your higher power do the rest." This is a powerful message for challenging times as these.

    Seeing Your Body as a person, not an object

    Seeing Your Body as a person, not an object

    Holly is a Certified Master Level Coach through Health Coach Institute and helps highly driven women build resilience to toxic beauty and diet messages. She uses an intuitive and spiritual approach that guides her clients towards self trust, confidence and Sovereignty over their entire being; body, mind and soul. From this place, her clients are able to make self guided decisions and finally live the life they desire in the body they live in today.
    In this episode Holly shares her personal journey with her body image beginning with dieting at the age of 8 years old to try to change her body. Holly talks about cultural messages that condition us as women with a message that you need to "stay pretty, stay conventionally attractive, stay small." The 70 billion dollar beauty industry promotes women being dissatisfied with their looks. Holly shares how she chose a career in fashion a highly "image centered" industry and found herself struggling with disordered eating and dissatisfaction with her body that led to digestive issues, hair loss, and anxiety.
    Holly describes her obsession with eating healthy and struggling with orthorexia and constant worries and fears about what she ate. She talks about how it influenced her quality of life, relationships, and mood.
    Holly loves to help people transform beliefs and teaches her clients "Intuitive Eating" which focuses on a healthy sustainable relationship with food. Holly shares how she helps women see their bodies as a "person" and treating it as a friend and rejecting cultural messages of being "not enough."
    Holly believes if we get out of the way of our body (stop trying to manipulate and change it) the body can self-regulate weight and health. Our body is our greatest teacher, our partner instead of our enemy. Holly began identifying her body as a person and felt less "hate" for her body. Holly helps her clients personify their body and honor it, naming the body, and exploring where body dissatisfaction comes from. She says hating our bodies is about conditioning and culture. We have been literally fed (pun intended) a system of beliefs (diet culture) that values weight, size, and physical characteristics above health and wellness. Holly shares her 4 part framework for loving the body we are in from 1) awareness 2) nourishment 3) resilience 4) sovereignty/freedom.

    It is possible to make peace with food and accept your body just as it is. Find community, support, and education through as Holly calls it a "homecoming" to who you truly are.
