To our Blessed Listeners / “The Gathered,”

In this episode we had the opportunity to sit down and interview the magnificent ‘Vanessa Gatman;’ a Masters in Education (focusing on Health and Wellbeing), Author of the Book “I Quit Hating my Body so She could Love Hers” and Co-Founder of the Amazing Charitable Trust ‘You Are.’ On the last, she has been instrumental in the mentorship of now thousands of young women in Auckland and New Zealand, helping them to see their internal, beautiful self-worth and value as 'Imago Dei' in a culture that often depreciates it. Vanessa is an inspiring and engaging speaker, and holds a variety of roles where she speaks from that depth of wisdom and experience. We recommend the following links for reaching out to her:
