The Purpose Pod

Have you ever wondered why you're here? I think we all have. Well this podcast was born from two profound events. The loss of a young family member who sought hope, meaning, and purpose in a world that often told him he had none. And then, becoming a mother to a child with additional needs, advocating for his recognition and the divine purpose he, and children like him, bring to our society.

The Purpose Pod is my response to these life-altering experiences. It's a place for anyone seeking motivation, confidence, encouragement, focus, and inspiration to embark on a purpose-filled journey. My background in arts, poetry, and energy healing work supports me to inspire and encourage purpose seekers like you to embody the vibration of live loving, passion-filled lives with profound purpose.

Each episode is a gift of creative conversations to uplift your spirit, and inspiring guest interviews with friends, activists, creatives, entrepreneurs and advocates who've discovered their own life's purpose.
