Today we’d like to introduce you to Lenka Govender.
Hi Lenka, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I always wanted to support other people to be happy. I myself was born with an ability to find silver lining in every situation and a great desire for dance, movement and joy in life. Then as I went on, studied nursing and worked as a nurse in a hospital, I soon realized it wasn’t a sustainable job for me. I had no boundaries, and although felt joy from helping others, I was extremely depleted, absorbing all the pain and suffering of people I looked after.
And so I knew I could not stay.
It wasn’t until many years later when I studied nutritional therapy and became a nutritionist with my own practice when it finally started to resonate with my soul. I had my own clients I was encouraging on their own journey and witnessing their transformation. However the old patterns of not having boundaries and over giving set in. After 6 years in my business, I started to realize I wasn’t working from alignment but from conditioning I picked up at schools I went to and from limiting beliefs I adopted along the way. I tried to reinvent my business for 2 more years only to become certain I myself needed deep healing and inner work if I truly wanted to be of service and inspire joy in others.
And so I let go of my business and dived deep into my own inner healing journey. I went for inner child healing courses and engaged with various types of therapies for 2 years to heal what needed healing. As time went on and I was peeling off layers of who I was not, I started to feel alive again. I became a human design reader and got in touch with my inner truth. I started to feel those desires for joy, for dance, for different life experiences again as well as a desire to share my journey with others.
I created Flow with Energy to inspire others that feeling playful and free in life is not only possible but it’s our birthright. That living our authentic truth is liberating and a true source of joy. And when we live our life’s purpose we get lit up from within passing that light onto those close to us.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not at all. Going back and releasing past was hard at times but I so longed for freedom and to feel true joy, that I had no choice. I desired to speak up instead of keeping quiet. I so wanted to live from my heart’s passions instead of trembling with fear sitting in a corner, that I was willing to do the work. To cry those tears which needed to be released, to forgive others and most importantly to forgive myself, that I just did it. And although the journey is still going on I’ve been feeling so much lighter that I know transformation and breaking away from conditioning is possible for all of us.
We’ve been impressed with Flow with energy, 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?
By using human design as a tool I help people find their life’s purpose and live it with ease and flow. Each one of us came here with a soul’s purpose but our brain often talks us out of it through conditioning we picked up in our family, schools, work places, simply during life.
I support my clients with finding their inner truth, self acceptance and courage to follow their calling while feeling free and having fun. I like to think of it as finding a path to their inner joy with the least amount of resistance possible. 🙂
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I always say find a mentor who you resonate with. Don’t just listen to their words, tune into their energy. Energy can’t be rehearsed. Energy speaks for itself. Once you find a person you resonate with, see if they have what you desire and then let them guide you.
