Meet Goddess Dorthea

 

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Goddess Dorthea. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Goddess below.

Goddess, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I found my purpose through a transformative journey that began in my childhood. Growing up in Detroit, I always felt a deep connection to the arts—writing poetry, singing, and performing brought me immense joy. However, it wasn’t until I faced personal challenges that I truly began to understand the power of creativity in healing and self-discovery.

In 2015, I made a pivotal decision to pursue a full-time career as a holistic arts and culture organizer. This was a leap of faith, but it allowed me to explore my passion for empowering others through art. During this time, I published my first books focused on poetry and personal development, which helped me articulate my experiences and connect with others on similar journeys.

My debut EP, “Modern Soul Sister,” released in 2020, marked a significant moment in my life. It was through writing and recording this music that I realized my calling: to inspire self-love, healing, and spiritual reflection. Each song became a manifestation of my experiences and lessons learned, guiding me toward a deeper understanding of myself and my purpose.

As I continued to explore spirituality and personal growth, I embraced roles such as a spiritual counselor and holistic therapist. These roles allowed me to support others in their journeys, reinforcing my belief that music and art can be powerful tools for healing.

In 2021, I founded Modern Soulful Music, a conscious music journal dedicated to uplifting independent artists. This initiative is a reflection of my mission to inspire indie artists with a soulful mission to express themselves creatively.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned that my purpose is to create a safe space for healing and self-discovery. By sharing my journey and using music as a medium, I hope to guide others on their paths toward empowerment and fulfillment.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

Goddess Dorthea is an artist deeply rooted in music, spirituality, and personal growth. I’m originally from Detroit but now call Los Angeles home. My journey in the arts began in childhood, where I found joy in writing poetry, singing, and performing for family and friends.

My music blends elements of R&B, hip hop, and spoken word, all intended to inspire self-discovery and empowerment. The EP “The Goddess Awakens” showcases this vision, offering a journey through the human spirit from a feminine perspective.

Beyond music, I serve as a spiritual counselor and holistic therapist, helping others on their paths of growth and healing. I’m also an ordained interfaith minister and have authored several books that explore personal development.

My recent works include “The Goddess Awakens (Remastered)” in 2023, along with other projects like “Soul Full of Sunshine” and “Mystic Meditation Music.” Through my art, I strive to create a space for healing and self-discovery, using music as a powerful tool to connect with the spirit.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back on my journey as Goddess Dorthea, I can see how three qualities have profoundly shaped my path: resilience, creativity, and emotional intelligence. These qualities have guided me through challenges, fueled my artistic expression, and deepened my connections with others.

1. Resilience

Resilience has been my anchor during tough times. Life is unpredictable, and I’ve faced my share of obstacles that tested my spirit. Each challenge has taught me the importance of perseverance.

Advice:

– Embrace Challenges: I encourage you to view obstacles as opportunities for growth. When I faced setbacks, I learned to see them as stepping stones rather than barriers.
– Practice Self-Care: Prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. I found that taking care of myself gave me the strength to rise again after each fall.
– Reflect on Experiences: Journaling my thoughts and feelings helped me process what I was going through, allowing me to recognize my resilience and learn from each experience.

2. Creativity

Creativity is at the heart of everything I do. It’s my way of expressing my soul and connecting with the world around me. Music, poetry, and visual art have been my avenues for sharing my unique perspective.

Advice:

– Explore Different Mediums: Don’t limit yourself to one form of expression. I’ve tried various artistic outlets, from singing to writing to painting, and each has enriched my creative journey.
– Set Aside Time for Creativity: Make time in your life for creative pursuits without pressure. I discovered that some of my best ideas came when I allowed myself to create freely.
– Collaborate with Others: Working alongside fellow artists has sparked inspiration in me. Reach out and connect with others; collaboration can lead to beautiful creations.

3. Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence has been essential in understanding myself and relating to others deeply. It has enabled me to navigate relationships and foster connections that are meaningful and authentic.

Advice:

– Practice Self-Awareness: Take time to reflect on your emotions and motivations. Mindfulness practices, like meditation, have helped me become more aware of my inner self.
– Develop Empathy: Actively listening to others and trying to understand their feelings has enriched my relationships. It’s crucial to cultivate a sense of empathy in your interactions.
– Seek Feedback: Embrace constructive criticism from trusted friends or mentors. I’ve learned that feedback can provide valuable insights into how I relate to others and enhance my emotional growth.

As you embark on your personal journey, focus on nurturing these qualities within yourself. Each step you take is part of your unique path, and embracing your journey will lead you to discover your true purpose. Remember, the power to create and inspire lies within you!
