Our Story
Purposed Joy began in 2019 as a simple gathering in our founder Shekinah's living room. What started as a personal journey toward self-care quickly grew into something bigger. Shekinah brought together a group of women to embrace intentional self-care, and before long, the community began to grow.
Through engaging digital content and live streams, and with the help of her co-host Alison and production manager THS Productions, Purposed Joy became a space for individuals to connect and share their stories. What started as a conversation, turned into a full-fledged practice, offering one-on-one counseling, leadership support, and wellness event consulting.
As the community expanded, Purposed Joy launched a library of digital resources on platforms such as YouTube and the website.
Now, Purposed Joy is about more than self-care. It is dedicated to helping individuals live intentionally, unlocking joy, and stepping into their full potential. We believe that when people rediscover their purpose, it transforms every aspect of their lives.
Through counseling, workshops, and digital platforms, Purposed Joy continues to inspire individual transformation and purpose. We are committed to creating deeper connections and helping our clients live with intention.
