Sandra Dawe

I was born to a 15 year old mother, 17 year old father and raised with the influence of my paternal grandmother. I went to eleven different schools, had learning disabilities that went undiagnosed and lacked stability during my childhood. My parents had good intentions in raising me, but this came with their own generational barriers, survival mode thinking and lack of dreaming.

In high school, I learned that college was not an option for me and became a teen mom myself. As I was on government assisted help, I would cry at night because I knew there was more available to me in life and had no idea how to get it. I met Les Brown as a twenty year old and this encounter shifted my focus, my mindset and my dreams. I learned that I needed to dream, so I dared to dream big scary dreams that made no sense to me at the time. Within eight years, I accomplished more than I thought possible in a lifetime for a girl like me.

I knew that I was onto something and wanted to tell my story then, but felt unqualified. I went through a gut wrenching divorce, got remarried, quit my six-figure job to go to college, and then climbed the executive ladder again only to find that my true purpose on this earth was the vision given to me in my twenties, to help women get out of their own way to live their own personal purpose.

I love my journey and I changed many lives along the way, but now it is my focus. Women are the light of this world and when our lives are dim, based in fear or self doubt, the world also dims. I want to encourage women to stand tall, to believe in themselves, to cheer each other on and to help each other grow. This is my hero story and this is my purpose in the spiritual world.
