Janine Hernandez is a published author, mentor, speaker and world changer, and the founder of Purpose Driven Initiatives and JJ & Sons Tea. Her purpose in life is to impact other women, and she’s doing just that. Through her women empowerment events, motivational speaking, business consulting, and book publishing - everything that Janine has created and everything that she does comes from a desire to have an impact, support others in sharing their story, and spread joy.

In today’s episode, Janine shares her story of always knowing that she wanted to be an author. From as early as the age of 9, she knew she would become a world famous self-published author whose first-hand experiences would lend credibility to her work. True to her childhood dream, at the age of 26, Janine self-published her very first book.

As Janine shares, there were a lot of experiences and moments that challenged her and stopped her from pursuing her dreams, and accomplishing the things that she wanted to accomplish. Today, Janine is working on her third book. In this week’s new episode, Janine also shares a difficult relationship experience that changed her life and her perspective. It also asked her to deal with and face her emotions - and that’s exactly what she did. She had this deep desire to go out into the world and overcome her fears - fear of mountains, planes, etc. - so what did she do? She went skydiving! She overcame her fears, and she quickly realized that life is all about jumping, speaking your truth, recreating yourself when you need to, and overall - just not being afraid.

Today, Janine is committed to working with motivated individuals who are ready to take ownership of their life and take action towards their dreams. She coaches aspiring authors and speakers and hosts book publishing workshops. She speaks country wide and her topics include: Manifesting the Life you Desire, Entrepreneurship for young adults, Living your Life with Joy and Book Publishing 101 to name a few. When Janine isn’t reading or writing amazing stories, she loves to spend her time hiking, traveling and exploring the world. She is an avid reader and is passionate about working on becoming the best version of herself from the inside out.

“When anything negative happens in our lives, it’s usually because something amazing is coming! After 6 months of being down in the dumps and dealing with my emotions, I was able to recreate myself as a woman. I started to live for me, and I started to wake up every single morning living for Janine, and living for everything that I stand for.”
