About Me – Funmi Olayinka

Get to know me more

Meet Funmi

Fun
The first thing you should know about me is that I am an introvert and writing specifically about myself is awkward for me. But I will give it a go.
I’m a…. Jesus mentee. Wife. Mom. Daughter. Author. Speaker. Caregiver. Picture addict. Cheerios lover. Organisation freak. ………and a lover of anything that inspires. I guess that’s why fun is in my name. Fun-me

Faith
My faith is my signature. I was a sinner, condemned to death but saved by grace. A benefactor of the work done by God through Jesus Christ. Still a work in progress, I am a diamond picked from the raw and polished to become a Gemstone. I am learning everyday that my past, present, and future experiences are God’s work in me and shareable lessons as an encouragement to others.
Glad to have you here!

My Story.....

Everyone has a story of significance to tell…. start yours today

Hey sister! I’m Funmi Olayinka, a certified life coach for purpose-driven women who desire to birth their dreams. I’m glad we get to meet.
Are you living life with Intention, or you are overwhelmed and stuck. I have been there too, and it doesn’t have to be that way.
I had a rough life particularly after getting married. It is the expectation of every newly wed to welcome the joy of a newborn as they desire. For my husband and I we did, however on the arrival of our three babies we lost each one after several tests, and visits to the hospital. It was a very gruesome time for me as thoughts of depression, anxiety and loneliness filled my heart. Despite been a Christian before these happenings, I had lots of questions. However, this experience took me on a personal encounter of what life entails. I totally get that life is filled with challenges but our response when they happen is what makes it better or bitter.
After years of been in this battle, I discovered my identity and purpose. I realized that the summation of life is for God’s glory and recognized that I can choose to focus on things of eternal value and leave the rest.

When we moved to Canada, I was excited about the new opportunity for a fresh start and a new beginning. A radical career change got me into the health sector, but the pull of purpose never left me. With many leaps of faith and trust in God, I am still taking audacious steps in my own journey so I can fulfil His intentions for me and would love to link up with you so you can experience a transformation and begin to write your story of significance.
