From Teen Immigrant to Successful Entrepreneur — Then Discovering Purpose with Dr. Nona Djavid

“Midlife is a time to expand your identity and say yes to the unreasonable vision God has placed in your heart.”

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with a transformational coach and entrepreneur who helps women create freedom, ease, and purpose in midlife.

Dr. Nona shares her powerful story of hitting an emotional breaking point despite outward success — and how a defining “God moment” in a dark closet revealed a bold, unreasonable vision for her life that became her new True North.

Through honest conversation, she unpacks the identity shifts women must make to break patterns of overgiving, worthiness struggles, and limiting beliefs.

Dr. Nona and I explore how midlife can become a rebirth season, offering practical guidance to expand your identity, claim your vision, and step into the next version of yourself with bravery, intention, and divine confidence.
