Today we’re joined by Shinghi Detlefson. Born in Berkeley, California, Shinghi is the youngest son of George and Pat Detlefsen, who were Blessed in marriage at Madison Square Garden in 1982. He was raised in a Unificationist household, and like most second-generation Unificationists, he had to discover the value of that.

Shinghi’s journey of spiritual discovery started when his father died in 2005 from Parkinson’s disease. Shinghi was just 15. His father’s death sent him on a path to discover his faith, his principles, and his purpose.

After seven years of corporate life at Google and Amazon, Shinghi now works alongside his wife running Wholesome Story, a leading fertility and women's wellness supplement company. He has four wonderful children who are the greatest teachers in his life.
