Like many others I’ve come through a lot of pain, self-inflicted and from others. I used to think that if I was nice and played by “the rules” I would achieve success in all areas of my life. While I have had success in many ways and love in my life, I spent years exhausted, unhealthy, and had mild depression.   I've never been the type to be OK with the status quo or a routine life. I’ve always been drawn to personal growth and development, pushing myself to expand and grow. I learned to stop breaking my own heart. With sheer will and the many brilliant teachers, mentors, my therapist and coaches, I lovingly woke myself up from the illusions and painful patterns I was in. My mission: to help move others into a greater sense of love.

Janine Danielle is an authenticity & empowerment mentor whose work is rooted in a powerful belief - the greatest thing you will ever become is fully yourself. Through a unique combination of lived experience, spiritual practice & frontline work, Janine helps people see beyond the conditioning, expectations & identities that can disconnect them from their own power, worth & potential.   Her work was born from a journey she knows intimately. After spending years becoming versions of herself shaped by expectation & approval, Janine reached a point where living anything other than her truth was no longer an option. In 2020, she changed the direction of her life, immersed herself in holistic & personal development practices, gained diplomas across multiple modalities ranging from meridian psychotherapy to counselling, & went on to coach women 1-to-1, facilitate goddess circles, moon ceremonies, sound baths & transformational group experiences.   Alongside her empowerment work, Janine has supported highly vulnerable people within a high-support homeless service for many years. Working across such contrasting worlds has given her a distinctive perspective, one that bridges deep inner transformation with the raw & often complex realities of the human experience.   Janine believes that the visions we hold for ourselves are there for a reason. The version of ourselves we long to become is not a distant, better version waiting to be created, but a recognition of something already within us. Her work is about uncovering that self beneath the noise, trusting what has always been there & having the courage to live from it fully.   Rooted in spirituality & unapologetic in her individuality, Janine brings depth, humour, honesty & genuine care to everything she does. Her own journey has taught her that the qualities we are tempted to hide, soften or change in the pursuit of acceptance are often the very qualities that make us powerful.   It is this belief that sits at the heart of Janines work & the message she wants others to remember - No one is you & that is your power!

Taylor Locke is a trailblazing mental health expert, award-winning advocate, and global changemaker whose lived experience drives their mission in sparking societal change.   After surviving sexual assault, a suicide attempt, and being disowned by their biological family, Taylor’s journey from crisis to resilience has shaped their deep, personal understanding of mental health systems and the urgent need for addressing systemic barriers. They graduated with honors in math and physics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and have since become a leading voice in mental health advocacy – bridging lived experience, academic research, and professional expertise.   While still in college, Taylor founded the Mental Health Week program, a student-led initiative that has since grown into a statewide movement. In 2024, it brought together 11 universities and over 100 organizations to host more than 65 individual community events, promoting healing, connection, and education across New York State.   Taylor’s reach extends far beyond their community, having served on national youth advisory councils and international academic journals. They are also a U.S. Representative with the Global Mental Health Peer Network, where they’ve led global workshops, helped organize the first Youth Agents 4 Change Mental Health Summit, and contributed to the United Nation’s action plan on addressing the interconnected climate change and mental health crises.   Whether they’re leading individual community support groups or influencing international policy, Taylor is rewriting the narrative around mental health with courage, compassion, and unstoppable purpose. Through nonprofit consulting and professional speaking engagements, Taylor empowers others to become their own champions in building inclusive communities and impacting powerful change.
