The Soul Catalyst || The Life Architect || The Pattern Breaker with Esther Wildenberg

Esther Wildenberg is a spiritual entrepreneur whose life was irrevocably changed by a devastating accident in her twenties. Born an identical twin in the Netherlands, she struggled early with identity formation and spiritual sensitivity that left her feeling isolated and misunderstood.After graduating from dental school at Amsterdam University, Esther worked briefly in dentistry before a collision with two motorcycles while cycling left her hospitalized for months. During her recovery, she experienced two near-death encounters that revealed her life purpose: to help women wake up to their potential at a young age, rather than waiting for midlife crises or major life events to spark change.This profound experience launched Esther on a decades-long journey of healing and personal development. She transitioned through various careers - from fitness industry management to corporate consulting - building the experience and confidence needed to eventually share her message with the world. Her unconventional resume actually became her strength, landing her executive roles based on attitude rather than traditional qualifications.Meeting her wife Cheri Tree at a conference in Amsterdam marked another pivotal moment. As customers turned business partners, they built a successful tech company together while creating a modern family. Their son Kai arrived via IVF in 2020, ten weeks early during the height of COVID, presenting unexpected challenges but also deepening Esther's understanding of identity and purpose.Now at 50, Esther has found her voice as an author, speaker, and retreat leader. Her upcoming book promises to give readers "30 years of experience in one book," offering practical strategies to discover life purpose without waiting for crisis to create change. Based in Laguna Beach, Esther continues her mission of awakening souls while balancing motherhood, business partnership, and her expanding individual consulting practice focused on spiritual intelligence in business.Find out more about EstherBook linksComing soon :)Websiteestherwildenberg.com (Personal)bankcode.com/esther (Company)bankcodevt.com (Company)Social Mediahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/estherwildenberg1Thanks for listening to 'not a straight line'!If this conversation inspired you, please leave me a Rating & Review!
