VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 106 | 01 November 2025 Hey Reader💐, 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. And also because typically it would be more medical or academic talk. Or politics. The latter I don't like hurting my brain with (I hear you and I...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 105 | 25 October 2025 Hey Reader💐, You’d imagine that when healthy love finally finds you — the kind that’s grounded, consistent, emotionally safe, and led by a good man — you’d be ready to receive it with open arms. But for many women, even those who’ve done the inner work, it doesn’t always feel that way. Instead, it can feel foreign… even a little scary. When you’ve never been exposed to healthy love, when your...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 104 | 18 October 2025 Hey Reader💐, If you are a member of Version 1.0 family, know your dating and marriage life could do with a 180º 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...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 103 | 11 October 2025 Hey Reader💐, I need to stop watching Love Is Blind😳. No, seriously. I watch the show a great deal, because it proves what I keep on saying over and over again. I can predict with high accuracy which couples will stay together or not. My running dilemma with the show is this: The experimenting with marriage part. The 'oh you can always divorce anytime if it doesn't work out' part. The minimization...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 102 | 04 October 2025 Hey Reader💐, I heard an interesting conversation recently. A few lady radio presenters were casually talking about how they’re not really into PDA — no hugs or kisses with their spouses, no outward displays of affection with their kids, not even much emotion shown at home. Difficulty saying "I love you" to them... One even said her spouse complained about it.🤷🏽♀️ It was light-hearted chatter, but...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 101 | 27 September 2025 Hey Reader💐, If you've been rocking with me for a while, you'll know I love watching Love is Blind. And so when the French one recently landed on Netflix, and I mean l'amour à Paris? Say no more😃. I don't know where my francophilia comes from, at this point, it happily is what it is. But I will tell you I grew up with my grandmother, and she had a flair for French & English furniture. I remember...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 100| 20 September 2025 Hey Reader💐, If you're a lady-in-waiting (aka single) like me, come closer. If you're a claimed (aka married) lady like I hope to be, lean in. Here's the conundrum with us driven and high-achieving women: the very thing that makes us slay career dragons, is the very thing that creates our frustrations in love and relationships. And we end up believing maybe healthy love, or love at all, is not...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 99 | 13 September 2025 Hey Reader💐, Last week I wrote about healthy masculinity in a woman and how to recognise that. This is what some femininity coaches call 'dark femininity'. Something I strongly oppose. Anyways... If you haven't read it yet, I recommend you do so before continuing with this one. Find it here. For today... What does healthy masculinity in a man look like? Healthy masculinity in men doesn’t crush,...

VERSION 1.O INSIGHTS Reclaiming who we were created & called to be Issue # 98 | 06 September 2025 Hey Reader💐, Any conversation about femininty in a woman would not be complete without talking about masculinity. In her. And in men. So that she can understand what healthy masculinity is and what it looks like in herself and in the men she interacts with. I did mention in a previous newsletter that I'd write about this, to shine a light on the beautiful masculine. So here we go. To start, God...
