Join us LIVE for an inspiring episode of Living Boldly With Purpose featuring special guest Donna Tashjian.

Today’s guest is Donna coach, speaker, and founder of Vibrant Living, helping people discover their identity, deepen their faith, and step fully into their purpose.

Donna shares a powerful journey through:

growing up without a relationship with her biological father
identity struggles shaped by childhood experiences
becoming a mother at just 15 years old
navigating shame, pressure, and responsibility at a young age
learning to rely on faith through life’s hardest moments


This episode goes beyond circumstances. It dives deep into identity, faith, purpose, healing, and what it truly means to live a vibrant life with no regrets.

One of the biggest truths shared in this episode:

“Your gifts are not for you — they are for others.”

We also talk about:

identity and how it’s shaped early in life
how faith helps you walk through pain, not avoid it
the grieving process of unmet expectations
building a strong marriage through intentionality
why purpose is a journey, not a one-time discovery
the power of values over job titles
how to stop feeling “too late” and start living fully now

This episode is for anyone who:

feels like their past defines them
has struggled with identity or self-worth
feels stuck or unsure of their purpose
believes they may have missed their calling
wants to live a life of meaning, faith, and impact

Donna reminds us that no matter where you started or what you've been through, it is never too late to step into who you were created to be.
