In today's episode of the Redefining Health for Kingdom Impact Podcast we are diving into what I will call Part 2 of my story.

My family as I knew it was breaking apart, my confidence and trust took a major hit as well. I felt lost, alone, sad, heartbroken, and devastated.

I fell back into my old ways of looking for love because I didn't feel loved. My old subconscious belief that love is found in a man came back up as I started to enter the dating world again. What I didn't realize was that I had major daddy issues. I didn't feel seen, safe or secure as a child or loved because the basic needs a child has that make them feel loved and secure were not there so I was looking for them in a man without realizing it.

I didn't respect my body as the holy temple it was because I didn't know in my heart that it was. 

I spent many years viewing my body as a weapon and a tool. The only way I thought men showed love was through physical intimacy. That was a belief

I had that I wasn't aware of but it came out in my actions as I dated and looked for love

through a man versus God...I didn't come to know the Lord until my 30's and he lovingly 

showed me what I had been doing and he has been healing me and teaching me 

what true love is, and it has nothing to do with my body but my heart.

My journey of self-love, acceptance and gaining back my confidence as a woman and growing in my trust of self and God has been a 10-year journey and one I am still on today.

Key Takeaways:

1. What I learned about myself post-divorce

2. Dating after divorce

3. Why I choose to be single in this season and the guilt I had to crush

4. Self-love journey and the steps I have taken


I pray you leave this episode with a renewed spirit and fire to take your SHE back-your Strength. Health. Empowerment and honor God by honoring your health and body.
