About Jan
Hello, and welcome to my “about” page. In the event you don’t know me, I’ll start by introducing myself as Jan Deelstra, and let you know how I can possibly be of service to you, personally.
Candidly, I’ll tell you that I rose from a life of insecurity, poverty, and victimization to become the confident, empowered founder of Winged-Women™ Academy. Now, as an international best-selling transformational author and advocate for women, I guide others to own their confidence, embrace their worth, and transform their lives with self-worth, freedom, purpose, and possibility.
In short, I’ve made a beautiful life by sharing my soul-based, spirit enhancing transformational tools with women who are eager to identify and release unhealthy, limiting beliefs, and to confidently and consciously create the life desired and deserved.
(Is this you? If so, you’re in the right place.)
Unapologetically, I will state that I have a passion for helping women rediscover their self-worth and embrace their authentic power. ALL of my creative content–books, eBooks, workbooks, podcasts, courses, blog posts, and offers are designed to empower women like you, with an arsenal of empowering tools that inspire transformation.
My personal journey has been one of turning struggles into strengths. It’s sometimes been a life experience of intense and difficult lessons, yet every single experience, regardless of how hard it may have been, came with its own reward. There is, I’ve discovered, a gift in even the worst events of our lives. It takes some reflection and insight, but I promise you, there is a blessing in the mire of every challenge. And each of these gifts are important pieces to your ultimate transformation. As an example, I will share that my first book, Blessings in the Mire: A True Story of Miracles & Recollections, came from the grief of losing my son to suicide. It took years to unearth the “gift” in the death of my child. I know it would sound laughable, if it weren’t so absurd. Eventually however, I was able to find the love that out weighs the indescribable pain, and come from the strength of my scars rather than from the gaping wound itself. There is tremendous power in that discovery.
My transformation has been one not unlike that of the butterfly–thus, the founding of the Winged-Women™ movement. The butterfly must struggle to break free of the very cocoon that fed and housed it, before it can spread its glorious wings. And that’s the way I feel about my personal metamorphosis, and about each and every one of the women I have been blessed to assist along the way. There is nothing more beautiful, in my estimation, than when a woman discovers her true self–discovers her confidence, learns to love and believe in herself, and embraces the rare glorious power that lies in her unique authenticity.
The tools that I discovered through my own transformation, I now share with any woman who wants to embrace her full-winged life–to live in beautiful, creative abundance, with just a few new awarenesses and gentle guidance. The life-changing self-worth enhancing processes that I have incorporated into my self-love toolbox are designed to build confidence, to enhance levels of self-love, and in short, to encourage expansive living, even if you’re an introvert (like I am!).
I believe that every woman has the ability to rewrite her own narrative and to soar in ways yet undreamed of. I believe this, because it happened for me. And it can happen for you too.
Whether you’re looking to manifest extreme confidence, financial independence, or fulfilling relationships, my mission–indeed, my life’s purpose and calling is to guide you toward the life you desire and deserve—one filled with courage, love, abundance, and limitless possibilities.
My intent for you, when you join the tribe of winged-women, is that you live a delicious life–one that feeds your soul and your bank account. It is that you follow a soul-feeding pathway of self-love and confidence, and that you then ripple that powerful frequency of self-love and unapologetic confidence outward, blessing all others who are blessed to cross your path.
