For most of my life I have lived hiding behind the various hats I wear. I have struggled with self-esteem issues and depression for the greater part of my 43 years. One of my earliest memories involves the feeling of shame for something I did wrong. I did well in school as a child and the teacher … [Read more...] about True Wellness: Tricia, Educator

What does it mean to you to be truly well?
We have invited some friends of Well Christian Woman to share what it means for them. We hope you will be inspired as we are!

True Wellness: Brittany, Mother

One of my favourite parts of the 3 ½ day trip was when we reached the Pennsylvania turnpike tunnels – a series of long tunnels on the highway that traveled through … [Read more...] about True Wellness: Janel, Pastor
