If you grew up in church or have ever attended a Christian women’s conference you’ve probably heard or seen this a lot – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139 verses 13-14.

But in a world where women are judged solely by their appearance and plastic surgery is the norm, how can we learn to thrive with style and Godly confidence?

Hi, I’m Yolande Morris and welcome to Season 2, Episode 3 of the Care Deeply Podcast. Today we’re talking about style and confidence, among other things, with Renee Jael, a photographer and style consultant based in Atlanta. Renee and I met several years ago through a mutual friend and in addition to being an amazing photographer, she is passionate about helping women develop confidence and healthy self-esteem.

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join us for this timely conversation.

Hello and welcome to season 2, episode 2 of the Care Deeply Podcast. I’m your host Yolande Morris and my guest today is none other than Wit + Grace Magazine’s Music Editor, Kendolyn Walker.
