I Was Born to Do It: The Truth About Being a Life Path #1 | Numerology, Leadership & Divine Purpose
Manage episode 514239498 series 3244686
You ever have that moment when everything you’ve ever done suddenly makes sense?
That moment when your whole life starts connecting the dots?
In this powerful and deeply personal 71st episode, I share how discovering that I’m a Life Path Number 1 in numerology changed the way I saw myself — and my purpose.
This isn’t about ego. It’s about energetic truth. Life Path 1s are the leaders, the initiators, the pioneers — the ones who go first. But being first comes with lessons: loneliness, surrender, and learning to trust your own divine direction.
✨ In this episode, I talk about:
How to calculate your Life Path Number (and what it reveals about your destiny)
What the energy of “1” really means — independence, innovation, and courage
My real-life stories of leadership, burnout, and rebirth
How ADHD, anxiety, and perfectionism shaped my leadership journey
Why leadership for Black women often means building outside the lines
Reflections on famous Life Path 1s like Martin Luther King Jr., LeBron James, and Steve Jobs
What it means to lead with love, rest, and purpose — not pressure
🎧 Whether you’re a fellow Life Path 1 or just someone on your self-discovery journey, this episode will help you find power in your path, confirmation in your calling, and peace in your leadership.
Because truth is — I was born to do it.
And so were you.
