Dancing through Cultures and Faith: Empowering Women with Doris

Join us in this empowering episode as we sit down with Doris, a dynamic 27-year-old woman and first-generation child of immigrants from Guatemala and Honduras. Growing up in the heart of her family's church, where they served as pastors, Doris shares her incredible journey of navigating cultural heritage, faith, and self-discovery.

In this intimate conversation, we explore the world of dance as a powerful tool for empowerment in Doris's life. From childhood twirls in the church hallways to finding confidence through movement, we delve into the transformative role of dance in shaping her identity.

Discover the challenges and triumphs of being a young girl in the church, as Doris reflects on the impact of purity culture and how she's embraced her own path of growth. Hear about her journey and passion, and how she's become a source of inspiration for women navigating their own paths.

This episode is a celebration of confidence, cultural identity, and the strength that comes from embracing one's passions. Join us for an uplifting conversation filled with heartwarming stories and insights into life, faith, and the pursuit of purpose. It's a journey every woman can relate to and be inspired by.

She is passionate about helping women learn to trust themselves and let go of that external validation we seek from others. I share some of the ways Malea helped me figure out what I was passionate about and how I started believing in myself. If you've been feeling stuck in your life and not sure what to do Maybe you need a life Coach!

Malea Heim Bio 

One morning, some years ago, I woke up staring at the ceiling, feeling hopeless with the reality of the day. Feeling suffocated like I was inhaling sand. Rolling over to escape was no longer an option. My life needed to change. On the outside, my bright smile and cheerful disposition hung like a tarp covering what I didn’t want anyone to see. But, as we all know, there is never enough fabric to hide the pain from ourselves.

Years of mentoring, professional coach training, and a decade after saying “yes” to coaching, I passionately and confidently help others light their path. I draw from my personal journey as a base of experience. With me, there is no judgment. Here you’ll find strength and direction.

As your ICF Certified Life Coach, I'll partner with you to:

Recover — Your authentic self

Realize — Your gifts and talents

Rebuild — Your best life

Rejoice — In the world you are creating

In addition to my training, my coaching skills and faith are continuously strengthened as I lend my professional skills to coordinate and lead women’s retreats and workshops.
