Divine You
Episode 3: From Grief To Gifts
In this episode of the Divine You podcast, Trinity Villanueva shares her journey from a traditional Evangelical upbringing to exploring diverse spiritual paths, including Buddhism and Shamanism. She discusses her connection to her Filipino heritage and the profound impact of her father's passing, which led her to embrace her spiritual gifts and connect with her ancestors. Host Kaye Namba facilitates the conversation, emphasizing that spiritual awakenings are ongoing processes. Together, they explore themes of grief, healing, and the transformative power of dreams and spiritual messages, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique spiritual journeys.
Her journey took a profound turn after the sudden passing of her Filipino-Hawaiian father. The experiences that followed catalyzed her evolution and opened her up to her Highest Timeline. She’s held titles such as Executive Director and Managing Partner, but her most recent endeavor is what she knows to be her life purpose — as Founding Vessel of Diwa Soul.
If you talk to Trinity, you’ll find a gregarious and highly intellectual woman who holds deep conversations and degrees from Ivy Leagues and prestigious global universities, but if you strip her bare, she is a creative. Her journey--nonlinear. As a child she originated a role on Broadway, won national competitions numerous times as a classical pianist, and danced as a Polynesian dancing performer on television and Atlantic City casinos. In her adulthood, she has worked with leaders in diverse settings such as Sony Music artist branding, Paramount Global writers rooms, and even co-curated and installed exhibitions for two Smithsonian institutions.
Her heart and soul have always been a truth teller. She's always found courage to say the things others were afraid to and saw beyond the myopic views. Trinity has found joy in social justice spaces elevating historically marginalized communities—transgender immigrants and illiterate Black Americans. Not as a savior, but as a contributor in dismantling capitalism.
The channeled vision is through Diwa Soul’s purpose: Investing in the liberation of Black, Brown, and Indigenous women through decolonizing, healing, and awakening.
Her spiritual Baylan name is Dayang Liwayway Akua, culturally translating to Divine Awakener. She is a mother, a stepmother, a wife, a sister, and a guide. She is a vessel. She is not special. She’s just living her purpose.
