In this soul-stirring episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Donna Tashian, life coach, minister, and founder of Vibrant Living International, for a powerful conversation on healing, purpose, and spiritual intelligence.

From surviving trauma to empowering others through faith, Donna shares her personal journey of reclaiming identity, embracing forgiveness, and guiding others toward a purposeful life in partnership with God.

Aligning Success With Divine Purpose

Donna opens up about how spiritual intelligence—the ability to align our gifts and vision with divine purpose—transformed her life and coaching practice. She encourages listeners to view themselves as gifts to the world, with a unique calling only they can fulfil. Through her program Life by Design, not by Default, she introduces spiritual laws and principles that bring clarity, peace, and impact.

From Pain to Purpose: A Journey of Healing

Donna recounts her experiences of overcoming abuse, shame, and identity struggles, and how faith and forgiveness played pivotal roles in her healing. She reminds us that forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling—and that our past doesn’t define our future.

Heneka adds her reflections, sharing the emotional weight of similar stories and how God’s Word brings light to dark places. Together, they affirm the transformative power of grace.

Forgiveness as Freedom

Describing forgiveness as peeling back the layers of an onion, Donna offers practical wisdom for working through emotional triggers and embracing freedom through the Holy Spirit. Both she and Heneka explore how love without judgment is a daily practice that fuels personal and entrepreneurial growth.

Living Through the Unseen: Spiritual Intelligence in Action

Donna introduces listeners to her faith-based coaching model, which teaches how to live from the unseen realm—anchored in trust, not fear. Using visual exercises and mindset shifts, she explains how adjusting your internal perspective leads to external breakthroughs.

Her 11 laws and 6 gifts model helps clients shift from struggle to living with ease and intention, grounded in divine wisdom.

Leadership, Growth & Vibrant Living
