Brand development and photography burned me out, so I quit and became a Purpose & Career Transitions Coach. Yet here I am, back in the realm of brand development with a renewed sense of purpose and a powerful vision. Gather ‘round the fire while I tell you the legendary tale of how I arrived at this remarkable juncture.

🌬 The wind takes you.

After high school graduation, while my peers headed off with clear paths in mind, I found myself unable to identify with the two most popular routes: starting college or starting a family. Unlike anyone I knew, my decision overwhelm left me searching for the answer to “Who am I?” and a sense of direction. I thought my inability to answer this question would be my downfall, but it turned out to be not only my gift but my purpose and career path.

I embarked on a journey that took me across the globe to answer it. From my humble beginnings in rural Southern Oregon, I moved on a whim to the vibrant city of Chicago at the age of 19 without a plan. And over a decade later, I’d accumulated a passport book full of stamps, three countries on my list of residences, and an ever-flowing fountain of meaningful experiences, cultures, and individuals to integrate. The answer to finding myself wasn’t choosing, it was seeking. It was during my explorations that I discovered the Enneagram, one of a few transformative tools that unlocked a deeper understanding of myself and unearthed my calling to be a Creator. I embraced the art of photography and design, pouring my heart and soul into capturing meaningful moments and crafting visual masterpieces. This career allowed me to work anywhere in the world. But it also left me drained and wondering why creative work was burning me out as an Enneagram 4. 🤔

❤️‍🔥 Death & REbirth

In an act of audacity, and in obedience to my namesake — my middle name means re-birth — I chose to burn it all down and embark on a quest to connect more to my purpose. Using the same method I still teach, I emerged as a Purpose Coach and web celeb, igniting the flames of inspiration of over 55K Enneagram-loving Instagram followers. I started a podcast [God Bless The Enneagram] with my best friend [now called The Rebel & The Mystic]. Guided by my own transformative experiences, my mission became helping others unlock their fullest potential by shedding conditioning and embodying their unique purpose archetype. I teach heart-centered seekers to pursue sparks of interest, embrace their unique gifts, and live in authentic alignment so they can experience love, meaning, and fulfillment every day as I learned to do.

Through this work, I witnessed the incredible power of aligning one's work with their soul's true calling. I’ve watched my clients overcome uncertainty, analysis paralysis, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and burnout to become confident leaders and purpose-driven souls.

⚡️ thOSE PESKY SPARKS!

Despite all this, I experienced sparks of interest to create again. This time, it wasn’t because I was burned out or unhappy. My Purpose Coaching career is 100% aligned. I’m wildly fulfilled. But I found myself torn between my passion for creative work and my commitment to purpose coaching. The question lingered: How could I do both? It was in the midst of this internal struggle that I glimpsed the light of understanding. I realized that the missing piece was infusing purpose into my creative work. I could combine my expertise in purpose coaching with my love for artistic expression, creating a soul-igniting offer that fulfilled both aspects of my being. This realization brought about a total transformation in my life. I became a living testament to the power of personal development, purpose-driven work, and soul-aligned being. I now proudly walk the path of doing what I love while empowering others to align their careers with the truth of their souls.

🌄 my journey continues, and so does yours.

I invite you to heed the call of your own purpose, for it is ever unfolding and waiting to be revealed.

xoxo,
keke.
