Today we’d like to introduce you to Monique Johnson.
Hi Monique, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Purpose Driven Motivation LLC was born out of my own life experiences, growth, and a deep desire to help others walk in purpose. I founded the company with the vision of creating a space that empowers individuals, especially women to heal, grow, and align their personal and professional lives with their true purpose.
My journey started long before the business officially existed. As a life coach, author, and community leader, I was already mentoring women through difficult transitions, helping them set goals, rediscover their confidence, and build the lives they truly desired. Over time, I realized that people weren’t just looking for motivation; they needed tools, structure, and accountability to move from vision to action. That’s what inspired me to formalize my efforts and launch Purpose Driven Motivation LLC.
Since then, the company has evolved to host women’s empowerment events, wellness retreats, and workshops that focus on self-awareness, emotional wellness, and personal growth. We’ve held events like “Sunset Pilates & Sound Bowl Therapy” and the “Women Evolve” series, which combine mental and physical wellness practices. One of our upcoming expansions includes launching a non-medical home health agency, which will allow us to extend our mission into supporting holistic well-being—addressing both the mental and physical health of those in need.
Beyond the events, Purpose Driven Motivation has also grown into a platform for community connection. I’ve partnered with schools, nonprofit organizations, and mentorship programs to empower young women, provide leadership training, and promote mental health awareness. My goal has always been to bridge purpose with community service, to show people that when they heal and grow, they help uplift everyone around them.
What started as a personal mission has grown into a brand that motivates, educates, and transforms lives. Every event, coaching session, and initiative reflects my belief that when you live with purpose, you become unstoppable.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road but every challenge has shaped me into the leader I am today. When I started Purpose Driven Motivation LLC, I had a clear vision, but not all the resources or connections I needed. Like many entrepreneurs, I had to learn how to balance passion with practicality. There were times when I questioned if I was moving in the right direction, especially when balancing business ownership, school, family, and community commitments.
One of my biggest struggles early on was learning to do everything myself, from creating marketing materials and planning events to managing finances and building brand visibility. I didn’t have a full team at first, so I became the planner, designer, coach, and administrator all in one. It was exhausting at times, but it also taught me resilience, time management, and how to operate from a place of faith rather than fear.
Another challenge was navigating self-doubt and imposter syndrome — wondering if people would take me seriously or truly connect with my message. As I continued to host events and receive feedback from women whose lives were transformed through Purpose Driven Motivation, that fear began to fade. I learned that impact doesn’t require perfection, it requires consistency and heart.
There were also financial and logistical challenges, especially when organizing community events without large sponsors. But I learned how to creatively partner with local businesses and organizations that shared my mission. Each obstacle helped me find new ways to grow, from learning grant writing and community outreach to understanding how to scale a vision into a sustainable business.
The road hasn’t been easy, but it’s been rewarding. Every setback became a setup for growth. I’ve learned to embrace challenges as part of the process, because purpose isn’t just what you do; it’s how you push through when things don’t go as planned.
We’ve been impressed with Purpose Driven Motivation LLC, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Purpose Driven Motivation LLC is more than a business—it’s a movement centered around helping individuals discover, develop, and walk boldly in their purpose. We specialize in life coaching, wellness events, empowerment programs, and personal growth experiences designed to help people heal, set goals, and align their vision with action. Our mission is to create safe, uplifting spaces where people especially women, can reconnect with themselves mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
We’re known for our transformational experiences that go beyond surface-level motivation. Every workshop, retreat, or event we host—like our “Women Evolve” series, “Sunset Pilates & Sound Bowl Therapy,” and upcoming Vision Board Project Tour is carefully designed to nurture both the mind and the soul. We integrate tools like mindfulness practices, goal setting, and group connection to promote real growth and self-awareness.
What truly sets Purpose Driven Motivation apart is our authenticity and holistic approach. We don’t just talk about motivation, we cultivate it from the inside out. Our programs combine empowerment, community connection, and mental wellness in a way that inspires lasting change. We bridge the gap between motivation and mental health, helping people turn pain into purpose and vision into reality.
Brand-wise, I’m most proud of the impact we’ve made in the community seeing women leave our events feeling lighter, focused, and empowered to chase their dreams. We’ve partnered with schools, nonprofit organizations, and community programs to mentor young women, advocate for mental wellness, and uplift underserved communities. Purpose Driven Motivation continues to grow into a brand that not only encourages self-discovery but also promotes collective healing and empowerment.
What I want readers to know is that Purpose Driven Motivation isn’t just for those who have it all figured out, it’s for anyone who’s ready to start. Whether through a coaching session, an empowerment event, or an upcoming wellness retreat, our goal is to remind every person that they already possess everything they need to live a purpose-driven life. We just help them uncover it.
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I believe risk-taking is essential for growth. Every major step I’ve taken. including launching Purpose Driven Motivation LLC started with uncertainty but was fueled by faith. I took financial and emotional risks to build something that didn’t exist yet, trusting that my purpose was bigger than my fear. To me, risk isn’t about being fearless, it’s about moving forward even when you are.
