About Jeannine
Jeannine says, “The saddest part of my past was not what happened to me, but that for over five decades I allowed my past to dictate my current thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about myself.”
“It took a little dog named Baby to remind me that I am a good and worthy child of God and that I can move on and leave the past behind.“
Jeannine travels the country inspiring others to rediscover and reclaim their own birthright as a good, whole and worthy child of God. She leads workshops and gives talks empowering others to free their past and live today.
Speaking before organizations, churches, and businesses, Jeannine presents new practical tools and tips used to work through, let go of and heal from your past.
A few of Jeannine’s talk topics are:
“Free Your Past: A New Approach to Letting Go”
“Tools & Tips for Letting Go of Your Past”
“The Story Behind Holy Paws”
“The Healing Power of Pets”
When asked, “What breaks your heart?” Jeannine responds without hesitation, “Countless people, because of their past, believe themselves to be broken, unworthy, and never good enough. They are allowing their past to dictate their current thoughts, feelings and beliefs about themselves. They have forgotten, as I did, that they are a filled with God’s glory.”
“It is my passion to help others rediscover and reclaim their true heritage as a blessed child of God and share with them the tools they need to work through, let go of, and move beyond their past and in to their today.”
