    27|SOULFUL RESTORATION WOMEN'S RETREAT LAUNCHING
    Aug 12 2025
    TRANSCRIPT You know I’m a psychotherapist… but I’ll tell you this — sometimes, your deepest healing happens in connection with people who truly get you. And in my years of walking alongside high-achieving Christian women — as a therapist, as a coach, and as a sister in Christ — I’ve realised I’m not alone in this. This is exactly why retreats and wellness experiences are in such high demand right now: because they work. They pull you out of your everyday routine, place you in a safe, nurturing environment, and surround you with people who share similar values and life experiences. You feel seen. You feel heard. You feel human again. It’s not just about taking time off — it’s about creating space for deep emotional restoration, meaningful connection, and a reset for your body, mind, and spirit. Why Retreats Matter Now, let’s talk about retreats. A retreat is not just a getaway. It’s a sacred pause. An intentional stepping back from your everyday — not to escape your life, but to return to it renewed, lighter, and more grounded in who God says you are. Retreats are fantastic experiences because they pull you out of autopilot. They break your routine just enough that you can finally hear your own thoughts… and God’s voice. When you’re in a space surrounded by women who understand your values, your struggles, and your hopes, something powerful happens. You feel seen. You feel safe. You feel like you belong — without having to perform for it. My Story & The Gap I Saw I’ve been attending retreats since I was a teenager in church. And they were beautiful — I learned scripture, I grew spiritually, I built friendships. But over the years, I noticed something: Few leaders spoke openly about the pain of rejection or the ache of abandonment. Practical tools for navigating burnout were missing. And there was little space to unpack how perfectionism and people-pleasing were quietly stealing our joy. I saw so many women — smart, capable, even admired — who were performing to get noticed, validated, or loved. Outwardly confident, but inwardly tired. What I See as a Therapist And now, after more than 10 years as a psychotherapist, I can tell you: those unaddressed wounds don’t just fade away. They show up in our marriages, in our friendships, in our work. They make us overextend, overcommit, and over give until there’s nothing left. High-achieving Christian women, especially in their 20s and 30s, often come to me not because they’ve lost their faith — but because they’ve lost themselves somewhere along the way. They want to rest without guilt. They want tools grounded in both faith and psychology. They want to connect deeply with women who just get it — no explanations, no masks. Why Retreats are Powerful for Healing This is where retreats shine. When you’re away from the pressure of daily life — away from the constant doing, fixing, and caring for others — your nervous system finally exhales. You start to process things you’ve been carrying for years. In conversations over shared meals, during walks in nature, or in quiet moments of prayer, you’re able to go beyond the “I’m fine” answers and speak your truth… and be met with understanding, not judgment. It’s a safe space to release, to heal, and to remember who you are before the world told you who to be. Introducing Soulful Restoration That’s why I created Soulful Restoration — a 4-day, 3-night Christian women’s healing retreat in beautiful Victoria, Australia. It’s a Christ-centred, professionally guided space for just 8 women — designed to help you rest deeply, heal safely, and reconnect with your true self. Here’s what you can expect: Luxury coastal accommodation Delicious, nourishing meals Guided therapeutic sessions with me as your facilitator Soothing live music A curated excursion to the hot springs Time in nature for reflection and prayer An intimate sisterhood where you’ll be truly seen No New Age techniques. No ministry “fluff.” Just honest, faith-rooted emotional care in a breath taking setting. November 13–16, 2025 Victoria, Australia Imagine 100 days from now — walking away lighter, clearer, and more confident in God’s call for your life. Call to Action If your heart is stirring right now, there’s a link in the description with all the details. Go have a look — spaces are limited, and I would love for you to be part of this. And remember — if you haven’t subscribed yet, now’s the time. Like, share, leave a review, and send this to a friend who needs to hear it. You never know whose healing journey you might spark. Until next time, stay calm, stay confident, stay beautiful.

Join here TRANSCRIPT When faced with rejection, take a moment to pause, acknowledge your emotions, and observe silence. Use this time to pray with gratitude. Seek professional counselling. Rejection can be a divine signal that God is preparing you for a greater purpose. Avoid the temptation to gossip, as this can exacerbate the situation. Instead, focus on the path forward. Look to biblical figures like Joseph and Jephthah, who exemplify resilience in the face of rejection. Forgiveness is also key. Remember that those who have wronged you may cross your path again. Respond with kindness, knowing that God often uses the very people who have hurt us to test our character. And remarkably, it's often those same individuals who will eventually ask for your help and seek to extend a hand of friendship and fellowship.

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 ...
