Мother, wife, writer, facilitator, and healer - Brianne Hovey knows pain profoundly. Her journey began at 12, after losing her mother. Her healing path started in massage school and expanded into aesthetics and health coaching. Her passion for wellness led her to build a multi-million-dollar business. Yet, she realized that external success couldn't bring her the inner fulfillment she craved, prompting a deeper journey inward. A mother of four, Brianne adopted her youngest child six years ago in what she calls her "calling." The experience was deeply emotional, forcing her to confront whether she deserved such a blessing. In 2016, after losing her second parent to cancer, Brianne faced burnout. Living in Hawaii with her family, she founded Soul Truth Collective to help others heal and grow. Her creation, the Daily Awareness Card Deck, has since become a transformational tool for many. Brianne believes in miracles, unconditional love, and laughter as the best medicine.
