TRANSCRIPT
You might be surprised to learn that just last week, I received an unexpected email from the Australian Christian Business Awards. I’ve been nominated — and honestly, it moved me deeply. But as humbled as I am… what matters most to me isn’t the nomination. It’s the story that brought me here
what looks like clarity and confidence today…
actually started in quiet, hidden places.
Moments where I questioned everything.
Moments where I didn’t feel qualified — just called.
Hi lovely, I’m Marvel Adeyemi — trauma-informed psychotherapist, faith-led women’s coach, and the voice behind Emotional Healing for Christian Women.
Today, I want to pull back the curtain and share a bit of the why behind the work — and how God has been unfolding something greater than I imagined. From therapy sessions to podcasts, to books, speaking platforms and looking to host my first retreat — this is not just a business… it’s an assignment.
Let me tell you the story behind it all.
I was already a qualified counsellor overseas. I had experience. A practice.
But when I moved to Australia, I had to start all over again.
No Medicare access. No professional network. A young family in tow.
I felt… invisible. Overqualified and under-recognised.
But even in that hidden place, God was birthing something.
He was refining my voice, deepening my empathy, preparing me — not just for clients, but for women carrying deep emotional wounds… just like I had.
I didn’t start this work from strategy.
I started it from surrender.
From a place of pain…
and obedience.
Women kept finding me — Christian women who were high-achieving on the outside, but hurting silently on the inside.
They didn’t just need strategy. They needed healing.
They didn’t just need coaching. They needed God and clinical safety — in one space.
That’s where my work began to take shape.
Today, I provide trauma-informed therapy and Christian coaching for women navigating emotional wounds, family-of-origin pain, rejection, relationship struggles, and spiritual confusion.
I hold space for women who have never truly felt safe —
not in their families, not in their churches, and not in their own bodies.
I combine clinical practices like EMDR with biblical wisdom, spiritual discernment, and prophetic insight.
And the results? Healing happens faster. Deeper. More completely.
I’m not here to fix people.
I’m here to walk with them back to wholeness — the kind only God gives.
Without running ads or chasing visibility, my podcast has reached Australia, the US, the UK, and Nigeria.
Blog posts I wrote in my living room led to speaking invitations from organisations like FBAA, who found my writing and said, “We want a psychotherapist who truly understands lived experience.”
Women from my community say things like:
“Your words helped me walk away from a toxic situation with peace.”
“I finally feel seen and understood in my healing journey.”
“Marvel, your sessions feel like I’m meeting God in the room.”
I’ve had health organisations reach out to include me as a provider — without me applying.
And many women end therapy sooner because we don’t just deal with symptoms… we deal with the soul.
That’s God.
One of the biggest shifts I made this year was stepping out of secular-only services — and niching down to support Christian women intentionally.
I knew I’d lose clients.
And I did.
My email list dropped.
Some unsubscribed because they didn’t want faith-led content.
But do you know what else happened?
Clarity came.
Conviction deepened.
Kingdom connections increased.
I started showing up on LinkedIn fully — no more diluting my identity.
No more hiding my faith.
And what surprised me most?
It wasn’t just Christians who responded.
Colleagues I never thought would connect with my Christian worldview began sending messages saying, “Thank you for showing up.”
This is more than therapy.
It’s more than coaching.
It’s a Kingdom calling.
I’ve helped women:
Launch trauma-informed ministries
Write books they’ve carried for years
Find their voice after decades of silence
Start purpose-aligned businesses
Walk away from relationships that weren’t of God
Come home to themselves — and to God
I’ve also created safe spaces for others through my podcast —
featuring other Christian women in business who didn’t have a platform.
We didn’t just talk — we partnered.
That’s leadership.
That’s discipleship.
That’s Kingdom.
If you strip away the emails, the downloads, the opportunities — this is still about one thing:
Helping women heal so they can hear God clearly and walk fully in their divine purpose.
I often say: God is still writing your story… but healing is the part where you pick up the pen.
I’m trusting God for greater —
More women set free.
More global reach.
More wholeness in the Body of Christ.
Because when a woman heals…
a generation is transformed.

and if you’re listening to this, I believe He’s calling you deeper too.
You are not too late.
You’re just healing.
And healing will change who you choose, what you accept, and how you lead.
Until next episode, stay beautiful, stay calm and stay confident
