Meet Honey Priestess

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Honey Priestess. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Honey, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

Finding my purpose has been an evolving journey rather than a single moment of realization. It started with self-reflection—understanding what truly excites and motivates me. I paid close attention to the activities that energized me and the problems I felt compelled to solve. Along the way, I sought experiences that aligned with my strengths and values, whether through work, volunteering, or personal projects.

I also embraced challenges and setbacks as learning opportunities. Each step, even the difficult ones, helped clarify what mattered most to me. Over time, I realized that my purpose isn’t just about what I do, but the impact I have on others and the sense of fulfillment I gain from contributing in a meaningful way.

It’s an ongoing process, but by staying curious, open to growth, and aligned with my values, I continue to refine and live out my purpose every day.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I am a dedicated advocate for holistic beauty, wellness, and spiritual empowerment. With a strong foundation in health and wellness, I began my journey in home health, where I developed a deep understanding of personal care and well-being. Over time, my passion expanded into skincare, esthetics, and organic wellness products, leading me to create offerings that nurture both body and soul. Ultimately leading to the birth of my brand Melanin Muse Essentials.

As a licensed beauty professional and certified nursing assistant, I merge the art of beauty with the essence of healing. My work is rooted in the belief that true beauty comes from within, and I empower individuals to embrace self-care as a sacred practice. I specialize in holistic approaches that honor natural beauty while fostering self-love and confidence. I believe in treating the body as a system, as within; so without.

Currently, I am furthering my expertise by pursuing my Cosmetologist license, expanding my skills to offer even more transformative services. Beyond my individual practice, I am deeply committed to supporting women and teens who have faced poverty and domestic violence. With a heart for community healing, I am in the process of opening a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources, mentorship, services, and empowerment for those in need.

Through my work in beauty, wellness, and advocacy, I plan to continue to uplift and inspire, creating spaces where individuals can heal, grow, and rediscover their inner radiance.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

Looking back on my journey, three qualities and skills that were most impactful are resilience, intuition, and adaptability.

Resilience – The path to purpose isn’t always smooth. Challenges, setbacks, and even moments of self-doubt are inevitable, but resilience has allowed me to keep pushing forward. I’ve learned to see obstacles as stepping stones rather than roadblocks.

*Advice:* Build resilience by shifting your perspective on challenges. Instead of fearing failure, embrace it as an opportunity for growth. Practices like mindfulness, journaling, or even seeking mentorship can help you develop a strong foundation to navigate life’s uncertainties.

2. Intuition– As a spiritual guide, listening to my intuition has been essential. It has helped me make aligned decisions in my career and personal growth. Understanding what truly feels right, rather than what seems logical on paper, has been key to my evolution.

*Advice:* Strengthen your intuition by practicing stillness—meditation, spending time in nature, or engaging in self-reflection. Trust the subtle nudges from within, and don’t be afraid to take action on what feels aligned with your soul’s calling.

3. Adaptability– The beauty, wellness, and nonprofit industries are always evolving. My ability to learn new skills, pivot when necessary, and embrace change has allowed me to expand my impact and continue growing.

*Advice:* Stay open to learning. Invest in continuous education, whether it’s through formal training, reading, or networking with like-minded individuals. Be willing to evolve and shift as your path unfolds—your purpose may expand in ways you never imagined.

For those early in their journey, my biggest piece of advice is to stay patient and trust the process. Your path will unfold in divine timing. Keep learning, keep growing, and most importantly, stay true to yourself. Your unique gifts are meant to shine.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?
