Today we’d like to introduce you to Seun Arise.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Life wasn’t always sunshine and rainbows, and for a long time, mine felt pretty stormy. I was filled with fear, sadness, and the weight of loss. It felt like I kept getting knocked down – insecurity, guilt, failure, all those things piled on. But even at my lowest, I knew I had to get back up.
Today, I’m like a phoenix rising from the ashes. It all started on a seemingly ordinary day in January 2017. I was at work when I got a call that shattered everything. My husband, Tunde, was rushed to the hospital. He was always so optimistic, but this time, the news was terrible. As a medical professional, I understood the grim reality. My world crumbled – not just for Tunde, but for our future and our young kids.
This wasn’t the first time I’d faced loss. We’d had miscarriages and lost twins before. We finally had our beautiful family, and it felt ripped away. It was like falling from a mountain peak. The pain was suffocating.
Tunde fought bravely for 15 months, but eventually, he lost his battle. We’d been married for 11 years, and suddenly, my best friend and partner were gone. Being a single mom and dealing with my grief felt impossible.
But in the darkness, I found strength. My faith in God pulled me up and guided me towards healing. There were bad days, days I just wanted to give up. But with faith and the love of those around me, I kept getting stronger.
Sharing my story and helping others became a way to heal even more. It lit a fire in me. Today, I’m not just surviving, I’m thriving. I’m living proof that faith and resilience can change everything.
My story is a beacon of hope for anyone facing their own storm – loss, hardship, whatever it may be. You are not alone, and your pain doesn’t define you. You have the power to rise above it. Just like me, you can Arise, Recover, and Reign. Rebuild your strength, your purpose, and your life. It won’t be easy, but with faith and perseverance, you can overcome anything. If you’re ready to start your transformation, visit my website or join my online community.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Being a single mom after Tunde passed was a whole new reality. It felt like everything got turned upside down. Suddenly, I was juggling a million things – taking care of the kids, running the house, and trying to keep my head above water financially. Let’s just say my budgeting skills weren’t ex actly graduate-level, even though I had a fancy degree [laugh]! I learned a lot about managing money the hard way, but eventually, I figured it out.
Being a single parent is tough, period. There were days filled with loneliness, anxiety, and just feeling plain overwhelmed. But the hardest part? Balancing everything. Between being a mom, a physician assistant, and starting my own thing, it felt like I was constantly walking a tightrope. But you know what? The fire in me to help other women kept me going. Even on the toughest days, that passion fueled me to keep pushing forward.
We’ve been impressed with Seun Arise, LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
You know that feeling of being completely lost after a big loss? That’s where Seun Arise comes in. I started this company because I’d been there myself. Devastating challenges and personal loss hit me hard, but I found strength through faith and determination. Now, my mission is to empower widows and women facing any kind of grief and loss to do the same.
I want every woman to know this: even when you feel like you’ve lost everything, there’s still so much strength and potential inside you. Lucy Hone, a resilience expert, says it perfectly: “Don’t lose what you have to what you have lost.” That’s the core message I share through my work.
As a Family Medicine Physician Assistant with over 11 years of experience, I understand the emotional toll loss can take. But I also know there’s a way to move forward and rebuild your life. Here’s how Seun Arise, LLC can help:
- Speaking Engagements:I bring my message of hope and resilience to women’s conferences, church groups, and events.
- Devotional Journal:I wrote a devotional journal called “31 Days to Arise Recover & Reign” which offers daily inspiration for your healing journey. It’s available on Amazon!
- Coaching and Mentorship:Through online courses, workbooks, and monthly webinars, I provide personalized guidance and support to help you navigate grief and loss.
- Support Groups:My virtual grief support group is a safe space for grieving women to connect, share experiences, and receive live coaching from me and guest speakers. It also includes a monthly newsletter for continued encouragement.
- Online Community:For those seeking deeper reflection and connection, I offer a private online community with a monthly newsletter.
What truly sets Seun Arise apart? Here are a few things:
- Lived Experience:I’ve been through the fire myself. Having faced devastating losses, I understand the depths of grief and the challenges of rebuilding your life. This allows me to connect with you on a deeper level and offer genuine support, because I know what you’re going through.
- Holistic Approach:Many programs focus only on emotional healing, but I believe true healing is multi-faceted. My programs address the emotional, spiritual, and practical aspects of grief, providing you with the tools you need to not just survive loss, but to truly thrive beyond it.
- Proven Results:My TEDx Talk, “The Surprising Gifts of Loss,” has over 219,000 views, and countless women have found healing through my programs.
- Supportive Community:No one should have to walk this path alone. Seun Arise offers a safe space to connect with other women who understand your struggles and share the same pain. This supportive network becomes a foundation for lasting transformation. The live coaching sessions and guest speakers within the virtual grief support group further strengthen this sense of community.
Seun Arise is all about building a supportive community. When women participate in my programs, they discover a network of support from others who “get it.” This connection becomes a foundation for lasting transformation. The live coaching sessions and guest speakers within the virtual grief support group further strengthen this sense of community, providing access to expert guidance and diverse perspectives. Seeing the connections women form within my programs and the positive impact it has on their healing journey is what I’m most proud of.
