Astrid Tuminez: Embracing Divine Identity to Unleash Your Full Potential

Join us on a journey with Astrid Tuminez, President of Utah Valley University, as she shares the two pivotal moments that transformed her life as a little girl growing up in a disadvantaged neighborhood in the Philippines. First, an opportunity to enroll in a school run by Catholic nuns allowed Astrid to read and write. Second, a chance to be taught by missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about her divine identity as a daughter of God.

Healing from Generational Trauma (with Jalynne Geddes)

An indigenous teaching in many communities around the world is that in nature, poison is often located very near the antidote.
