I’m always looking to improve and I’d love your feedback!SHOWNOTES:2:04We've been featuring courage to heal stories recently, and I just had to have you share your story. And as we have our conversations today, I just know that you will be blessed and inspired and encouraged to heal as you hear her story. So let's just dive right into it to Chulu and talk about culture, and a little bit about health and wellness and how we blend the two. So my first question to you is, how would you say your culture has affected your overall wellness?2:49I think, you know, there's so many beautiful things about our culture. And I'm African, I'm from Zambia, beautiful country of Zambia, we call it the real Africa. And, you know, there's so many things from our food, our clothes, our music, all of those wonderful things. But then there's also I'd say, like an underbelly of, of things that are not necessarily talked about. And, you know, we like to refer to them as Oh, that's just the way culture is.Now. I think one of the things that's also unique about my country in particular is that we are a Christian nation, like it's actually in our Constitution. So Christianity is something that is also very, very deeply interlinked in our lives, right. So, you know, I think when it comes to myself, and my story, I think one of the things that really did affect me was the first thing was having a child out of wedlock, and having a child very young. I had my son when I was my senior year of college, and you know, just the shame and the, you know, the shame and the embarrassment.9:14So you know, they held a knife to my neck, they kicked me, they punched me in the stomach. It was a very violent experience. And at the time, I was just thinking, I really just gave it to God, because I just looked up and I was looking up at the sky, I didn't even want to look at them.And what actually happened was the three original men that had stolen the money, like stolen my bag, they came walking back, because they know, they just threw me on the middle of the road. So they came walking back. And they saw that and they did nothing. They just dropped the bag and walked away. And I remember thinking, how does someone?I can honestly say that therapy saved my life.19:43I had the job, I had a car, I had the house, like, I was okay, but then I'm trying to tell people that there's something wrong, this is not enough. I'm not okay, I'm not satisfied, I'm not fulfilled, I'm not happy, and people just didn't understand. They felt like, you know, when they're looking at the job that I had, it's one of those jobs, you know, here we say, it's kind of like, you know, you've arrived, you know, and you get a certain job, you've just arrived, and you can put your legs up and you like, everything is just jazz. But I'm just like, if this is what you g48 min
- Episode 29: Freedom Series: Courage2Heal Interview with Evelyn LevasseurABOUT THIS EPISODE:Welcome back to Raise the Praise where we choose to reclaim our joy and thrive in every area of our lives, that's physically, mentally, financially and spiritually, to do all that God is calling us to do. I'm your host, Jennifer Bell. I am so excited to have my sister friend Evelyn Levasseur on the show today!Evelyn is the owner of Evelyn LeVasseur Fitness, a company that focuses on helping busy, overwhelmed moms reach their body goals without dieting or deprivation. Evelyn knows that moms can be especially hard on themselves and expect perfection, in our homes, jobs, marriages, and of course with our bodies.Listen in as my sister Evelyn shares her story in this Courage2Heal Interview.If this episode inspired you, please subscribe and leave a review. I’m always looking to improve and I’d love your feedback!SHOWNOTES:* When we think about health, we think about food and exercise and what our body looks like. And really, it is truly starting from the inside out. And seeing how the way you feel about yourself impacts not only your body and your mind, what everybody around you and the energy you bring, and the energy you attract, you start to see that your life as a whole is a representation of what you're feeling to begin with. And that's huge. (3:28)* First of all, my very first step had to be detaching my value from my appearance. And that was hard work because I had to, I had to literally let go of all, all those years of being told that I was beautiful that I was this, that I was that and then finally accepting that of all the things that I am a mother, a wife, a sister, a friend, have the impact that I want to have on this world, my body is the least relevant part of me. And on top of it, you know, I remember sitting and thinking to myself, Evelyn, you are literally living the life that you prayed for, you are living the life that you prayed for. And that's what I realized that I had been living in gratitude, yes, grateful for my husband, we have an excellent relationship. We've been friends, since we were little kids. I have two healthy, strong, very empathetic daughters, that are feisty, too. Don't get me wrong. I have a home that I love in a job that I love. I was grateful for all of it. But I wasn't grateful for me. (20:06)* First, I think acceptance comes before love. I do. You know, people feel guilty because they say they feel like they should just love themselves, which Yes, I believe you should love yourself. But if you spent your whole life being told that you weren't enough, that doesn't just happen naturally. You know? You have to, just like when you get to know somebody else, you accept them first for who they are. I think there's levels to falling in love with yourself. And it starts with accepting yourself for who you are.
