On Episode 3, our guest, Chisom Owolabi, is the Author of a new book called  ‘Becoming Who God Says I am: Valorous’, and is speaking on her life’s journey through multilayered setbacks, which include witnessing the murder of her father at age 7 and watching her mother take her last breath in a hospital, after a valiant fight with cancer, 14 years later. 

Chisom openly shares what she has learnt on the journey to becoming the Valorous person she is now.

• The power of journaling and visualising your goals, even in dark times, and how it can help you manifest a better and more purposeful life in the future. 
• The importance of not feeling shame about your experiences, as sharing it can help others make better decisions in their own lives.
