January Donovan – Co-Founder of The Woman School

Meet January Donovan, an inspirational, disciplined woman who believes in women’s dreams. She has journeyed from a traumatic childhood and a turbulent teenage life to becoming a successful businesswoman – founder of ‘The Woman School’, and a happy wife and mother of 8 children.

January Donovan is a self-worth strategist, best-selling author, and founder of The Woman School. 20+ years of experience training women. She founded The Woman School to fight the injustice against women’s self-worth. The company went from 0 to 2 million in 2 years, growing 1000%. She believes it is time for our world to recognize the value of the whole woman and not just what the culture dictates makes her valuable. She is more than her body or her achievements, she was designed to be complete.

Women today doubt if they are good enough. We battle feeling like a failure when in reality, the world has failed to prepare us. We can no longer afford to hand over a generation of women who doubt their worth, it is time women know who they are. We have a duty to equip women with practical skills and guide them through designing who they are for the world. We are in the business of integrating the whole woman.

January took her passion into training women to build a business rebuilding women’s worth. This bold vision took The Woman School from 0 - 30+ countries in under 2 years. There is a hunger for this deep work. As a wife and mother of 8 children, she is fierce about integrating business and motherhood. Our professional dreams cannot be apart from our personal dreams, we have to integrate them if we want to be fulfilled. We need the right skills and strategies, and that is exactly what we train women in The Woman School. Our vision is to rebuild culture, one woman’s worth at a time and we are doing it.

 
 
What we covered today:
•Why do women struggle so much to feel confident?
•What is the woman's school and who is it for?
• How can we as women truly follow our dreams
• How to change your mindset as a woman and walk fully feeling good and confident in God's plan for your life.

What we covered today:
•Why do we compare ourselves and who exactly are the ones dealing with it

Purpose in the Pain

Why me? Why this? Why now? The trials and suffering we experience are not meaningless – there is a purpose in pain.  Remind yourself today of this promise: God is always with you and will never leave you. No matter what you are facing. NEVER is a mighty word. There are no ifs, and, or buts about the word NEVER. God will NEVER abandon you. This doesn't mean you won't endure trials. However, it is His promise to ALWAYS be with you. We can't run, we can't hide, He is ALWAYS with us.

God’s Refining Fire

Do you ever feel you’re being tested? Have you ever thought about how much more can I take? How can you hang onto hope when the heat of the trial you’re going through has been turned up another notch? See how God uses the trials in your life to change your character, purify your heart, and beautifully transform turbulent times of suffering into a showcase of His faithfulness.

Facing the agony of the cross, Jesus was in great physical, mental and spiritual distress. He even came to the point where He questioned the Father three times; asking if there might be another way to redeem us, but there was none. Then, Jesus faced the last, most painful trip to the crucible.

The crucible of God’s refining fire, not out of weakness and defeat but out of strength and faith. Faith in the Father who loved Him. Jesus was able to trust the Father’s trial because He trusted the Father’s heart. His heart of love and compassion. He trusted the Father’s wisdom and understanding You too can trust the Father’s heart of love and compassion. You can trust His wisdom and knowledge. You can stand firm in the truth of Proverbs 3 verses 5 and 6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.”
 

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

Today we Cover:
•Why does God allow our pain?
• How to shift your perspective of seeing Pain as good.
• Painful seasons of life and how to heal from them in a healthy place
•How God takes our pain as fire and uses it for Good
