How to Find Your Purpose Through Leadership - Women of Color Live with Oryne Stewart. What does it really mean to find your purpose and lead with confidence? In this inspiring episode of Women of Color Live, host Denine Garrett welcomes producer and mentor Oryne Stewart for an honest conversation about leadership, purpose, personal growth, and trusting God through life's unexpected changes. Together, they share real stories about resilience, faith, family, healing, and learning to stay present.
- Leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about showing up, learning, growing, and serving others with honesty. Oryne Stewart shares how relocating to a new state, recovering from serious illness, and rebuilding life after major changes taught him to let go of control and trust the process. This conversation reminds us that every challenge can become part of our purpose when we stay faithful, remain teachable, and continue moving forward one step at a time instead of giving up.
- This episode also explores the importance of being fully present instead of worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. Success is built one day at a time, and learning to focus on today helps reduce fear, stress, and overwhelm. If you are building a business, leading your family, or chasing your dreams, this discussion offers practical wisdom you can apply immediately.
- Healing is a major part of becoming the leader you were created to be. During this conversation, discuss forgiveness, emotional healing, asking for help, and letting go of pain that keeps holding people back. Why healing is a process that cannot be rushed, and how carrying old wounds affects future relationships, leadership, and personal confidence. This honest conversation encourages viewers to stop hiding behind fear and begin walking toward lasting transformation.
