Why Engaging God In Your Own Language Matters - With Nohemie Sanon
About this podcast
Welcome to the Elevate Life podcast where we focus on the journey of starting over again with purpose. Join your host, Dieula Previlon, licensed professional counselor, certified life purpose coach, ordained minister, and experienced leader as she discusses what it looks like to start over again after loss.
We all know what it's like to start over again. We all know what it's like to lose something or lose someone and be met with defeat and disappointment and having to do the hard work of picking up the pieces and start over again. On this show, we focus on the stories of women, their traumas, their pain, their joy and their resilience to find the courage to start over again with even greater purpose.
Each week we will meet with guests who will share with us their process of starting over again with the hope of encouraging us on our own journey to keep on going. They will help us normalize this continual journey of transition. We will also discuss how they've integrated Jesus, therapy and self-care into their healing journey.
