VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who God created & called us to be Issue # 111 | 06 December 2025 Hey Readerš, Last week we looked at how Queen Vashti, a woman often given a bad reputation, embodies confident feminine power. Today we look at the celebrated Queen Esther, and I'll write this in two newsletters because there's just so many lessons from her. Even then... We know she didnāt become who she was overnight. She didnāt rise to queenship because she was simply beautiful or lucky or a...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who God created & called us to be Issue # 110 | 29 November 2025 Hey Readerš, I know we all love the Book of Esther. We see it as the quintissential lesson on feminine embodiment and the power of a woman who's decided to assume her position of authority.

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who God created & called us to be Issue # 109 | 22 November 2025 Hey Readerš, I changed my Whatsapp profile pic to a purple heart 2 weeks ago and I coincidentally wasn't working yesterday the 21st, November 2023.

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who God created & called us to be Issue # 108 | 15 November 2025 Hey Readerš, I've had some people say to me: 'your feminist stuff'. I am not a feminist, nor do I teach about being one. I am a femininist. I talk about femininity to my ladies who are in high masculinity. Let me make a distinction, in simple terms, nothing hectic: Feminism is rooted in 'female' whilst femininity is rooted in 'feminine'. Feminism is a movement that challenged systems of oppression...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who God created & called us to be Issue # 107 | 08 November 2025 Hey Readerš, As modest as I thought I was, I've gotten to a place in my life where I had started feeling convicted about the way I dress. Not because I'm 44 and need to look my age. Not because I didn't want to draw attention to myself.

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 106 | 01 November 2025 Hey Readerš, I attended a 3-day strategic workshop last week with academic colleagues. As an introvert, after spending the day with others all I wanna do is to curl up at home alone with a good meal, an occasional glass of wine, and a good movie/show.

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 104 | 18 October 2025 Hey Readerš, If you are a member of Version 1.0 family, know your dating and marriage life could do with a 180Āŗ turn, and you weren't part of the summit, you really missed out on the opportunity to make a turn around. But it's also making me doubt your commitment to change your situation for the better. I'll not accept any excuse. Why do you think that is though? What limiting beliefs do you...
