I Am a Divine Warrior details your journey through various personal challenges. What inspired you to share such a deeply personal memoir, and what do you hope readers will take away from your story?

Sharing a deeply personal memoir like I Am a Divine Warrior, can be a daunting yet rewarding endeavor. What often inspires individuals to share their personal journey is the desire to connect with others who may be going through similar challenges. By opening up about their struggles, triumphs, and the lessons learned along the way, authors hope to offer comfort, inspiration, and guidance to those who may feel alone in their experiences.

For me, the inspiration to share my journey as a Divine Warrior came from a deep sense of purpose and a desire to help others navigate their own battles. I believe that our struggles are not just obstacles to overcome but opportunities for growth and transformation. By sharing my story, I hope to empower readers to embrace their own inner strength, resilience, and spiritual connection.

Through I Am a Divine Warrior, I aim to convey the message that no matter how difficult life may seem, there is always hope, courage, and the potential for positive change. I hope readers will find solace in knowing that they are not alone in their struggles and that they possess the inner resources to overcome any challenge they may face. Ultimately, I aspire for readers to emerge from my memoir with a renewed sense of purpose, a deeper connection to their own spirituality, and the belief that they too are warriors capable of conquering any obstacle that comes their way.

With a background that spans from real estate to social work, and now pursuing a Doctorate in Ministry, how have these diverse educational experiences influenced your approach to empowering and mentoring others?

My diverse background in real estate, social work, and pursuing a Doctorate in Ministry has shaped my approach to empowering and mentoring others by instilling in me a holistic perspective, empathy, and a deep understanding of human dynamics. I blend practical knowledge with spiritual insights to provide comprehensive support tailored to individuals’ unique needs and aspirations.

In your book I Am a Divine Warrior,, you emphasise the importance of building connections. Can you share a key strategy from the book that you believe is essential for establishing rapport in both professional and personal contexts?

In I Am a Divine Warrior, a key strategy I emphasise for building connections in both professional and personal contexts is active listening. By genuinely listening to others, showing empathy, and validating their experiences, you can create a strong foundation of trust and understanding, fostering meaningful relationships.

Your advocacy work focuses on trauma recovery and breaking generational cycles. How do you integrate your personal experiences with abuse and homelessness into your professional practice to help others on their healing journeys?

I integrate my personal experiences with abuse and homelessness into my professional practice by offering empathy, understanding, and a nonjudgmental space for individuals to explore their own healing journeys. Drawing from my own struggles, I provide practical guidance, emotional support, and empowerment strategies to help others break free from generational cycles of trauma and adversity.

As an ordained minister and a life coach, how do you incorporate your spiritual beliefs into your coaching and mentoring methods? How do you find balance in addressing both the practical and spiritual needs of those you guide?

As an ordained minister and life coach, I integrate spiritual beliefs into coaching by offering guidance rooted in compassion, mindfulness, and faith-based principles. I find balance by addressing both practical and spiritual needs through personalized strategies that honor each individual’s journey and values, promoting holistic well-being.

Healing From It All! Is a departure from your other works, focusing on mental health, self-development, inner healing, trauma recovery, and spiritual development. What motivated you to explore this genre, and how do you think it complements or contrasts with your other writings and advocacy work?

Exploring mental health, self-development, and trauma recovery in Healing From It All! stems from a Christian perspective of compassion, redemption, and inner healing. Motivated by a desire to offer hope and guidance, this genre complements my other works by emphasising the importance of spiritual growth, resilience, and finding strength in overcoming life’s challenges. Through this exploration, I aim to empower individuals on their journey towards wholeness and spiritual fulfilment.
