What if the moment you’re ready to abandon your vision is the moment you’re closest to fulfilling it?

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with my soul sister across the globe, Chantal Togany, founder of Empowered by Style and Powerhouse Collective Australia. From her first glimpse of vision at age 13 to navigating the darkest valleys of entrepreneurship during Australia’s intense lockdowns, Chantal shares her raw journey of surrender, reinvention, and alignment.

She went from being a psychology grad in corporate suits—feeling out of place and unfulfilled—to stepping into her calling as a stylist, speaker, and women’s leader building a national platform of connection. We unpack the difference between vision and mission, why alignment isn’t about perfection, and what it truly means to follow your God-given calling when the path makes no sense.

If you’re in the messy middle, on the edge of giving up, or unsure whether your dream is “realistic” enough—this episode will speak to your soul.
