Suzanne is a resilient woman whose life journey has been shaped by poverty, perseverance, and quiet strength. Raised on a farm in a small rural community, Suzanne grew up surrounded by animals and homegrown food—but also by the unspoken weight of generational struggle, shame, and scarcity. Her early life was marked by survival, not abundance, and by a deep longing for belonging and worth.

Despite being the “good daughter” who followed the rules, attended Bible school, and married a pastor, Suzanne found herself in a long and difficult marriage that echoed many of the emotional and financial challenges of her upbringing. Through years of verbal and emotional abuse, financial hardship, and silenced faith, she eventually made the courageous decision to leave—for the sake of her daughter, and for herself.

Since then, Suzanne has rebuilt her life with purpose and intention. From working at Starbucks and returning to school to become an Educational Assistant, to now helping other families understand and manage their money, Suzanne has doubled her income and found her voice. Her story is one of deep transformation, healing, and rediscovered faith.

Today, she stands as a testament to what is possible when we choose to leave survival behind and step into healing. Suzanne’s journey will move you, challenge you, and remind you that even from the hardest places, it is possible to rise.

Jennie is a true embodiment of transformation. Once a young girl raising her siblings in a home that didn’t feel safe, she left at 17 to survive—but over time, she learned how to truly live. As a mother, she found herself trapped in a cycle of shame, guilt, and survival mode, feeling the weight of generational trauma and the absence of support.

Her turning point came when she checked herself into a hospital for her mental health—an act of courage that launched her into a decade-long healing journey. From working with a shaman to becoming a personal trainer and coaching over a thousand people, she chased success until she realized that healing required more than hustle.

Now a guide for other women, she weaves together spirituality, energetic alignment, and lived wisdom to help mothers reclaim their worth and rewrite their stories. With vulnerability and strength, she speaks about setting boundaries, embracing divine identity, and the sacred role of the mother in healing the entire family system.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, this conversation will meet you where you are—and gently show you what’s possible on the other side

Nicole Celeste is a multidisciplinary artist, speaker, and advocate whose life story is a raw, unfiltered portrait of identity lost and reclaimed. Raised in a loving home yet plagued by bullying and self-doubt, Nicole grew up deeply sensitive to the world around her—an intensity that shaped her inner life from the start.

At 13, she found ballet. For a time, it was sanctuary and purpose, but the perfectionism and punishing demands of elite dance took their toll. By 18, Nicole walked away from the stage and into an identity crisis. What followed was a years-long spiral through addiction, fueled by pain, disconnection, and a search for self she couldn’t yet name.

Art was the thread that never snapped. Even in her darkest moments—through drug use, relapse, and the loss of her best friend to overdose—Nicole stayed tethered to creativity. It was her way of surviving, and eventually, healing.

Recovery wasn’t linear. Her father’s intervention, early access to Vancouver’s safe injection sites, and a growing spiritual awareness all played a role in pulling her back. But it was her own relentless self-inquiry—her refusal to abandon the search for meaning—that led her to something deeper.

Today, Nicole speaks on addiction, identity, and spiritual awakening—not through the lens of doctrine, but through lived experience. Her message is clear: until we know ourselves, we can’t trust ourselves—and without trust, we can’t fully live. Nicole’s work is a call to wake up, reconnect, and remember who we really are
