Denise Wakeman’s Life Purpose

• To embrace my adventurous side and to model that for others so that we all find more joy in business and life.

Life Purpose Ah-Ha Moment

• I found my life purpose in Peru.  After traveling to Peru a few years ago, I was so drawn that I went back for a second trip to spend time with my guide who was working on some new adventure treks.  I knew that I felt the best when I’m in a sense of discovery, experimentation and when pushing myself out of my comfort zone.   At that point, I knew I had to combine this love into all aspects of my life including my business.

Major Life Events that Hinted at Your Life Purpose

• My husband left me unexpectedly which resulted in a divorce.  He was my business partner and I was in the background.  The divorce required me to rebuild a business and step out into the spotlight.  I would never be doing what I’m doing now if it weren’t for the split.  I’m doing so much more because of it.

Spiritual Belief

• I’ve never been a religious person even thought my grandfather was a minister.  I do know I’m part of the whole universe and connected beyond my here and now in North Hollywood.

Recommended Personal Growth Resource or Practice

• The book, Anything You Want by Derek Sivers or any of his books.
• A Liver Cleanse

Wisdom on Life Purpose and Personal Growth

• I believe that I am a citizen of the world and we all are citizens of the world and we transcend geographical, cultural and economic boundaries.  That is one of the most exciting things about being a human being and alive today.  There are so many ways we can help and embrace each other across this globe.
