Meet Divine Bradley

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Divine Bradley a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Divine , so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?

My optimism is a quiet current that has carried me through every season — sometimes as a gentle stream, sometimes as a raging river. It comes from living through the full cycle of beginnings, breakdowns, and breakthroughs, and trusting that each chapter, no matter how chaotic or uncertain, is part of a larger, living design.

It’s shaped by the heart of MEhab — the belief that restoration isn’t a luxury, it’s a right. I’ve seen firsthand that when we pause, when we listen to ourselves and the earth around us, healing rushes in like a tide we can trust. That reminds me daily that possibility is a natural force — just like breath, just like sunrise.

It’s shaped by the spirit of Prototypia — where progress isn’t a straight line but an ongoing experiment in curiosity, compassion, and courage. I believe optimism is born when we allow ourselves to be in process — not needing perfection, but instead nurturing potential with care and creativity.

And it’s fueled by the soul of KNKXN — a living network of connection, collaboration, and collective dreams. KNKXN has taught me that optimism doesn’t just live inside me; it grows in the spaces between people, in the unseen energy that flows when we share our gifts and believe in each other’s visions.

My optimism isn’t a blind hope. It’s a practiced, earned trust — in life, in transformation, and in the infinite ways we can heal, rebuild, and rise together.

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?

My journey has always been about building spaces — visible and invisible — where creativity, care, and connection can thrive. I’m an experience designer, a creative producer, and a community builder at heart. My work spans across multiple platforms and offerings, but the spirit is always the same: helping people reconnect with themselves, their dreams, and each other.

Right now, my professional focus is centered around three living projects:

MEhab — a decolonized self-care ecosystem focused on radical restoration and embodied creativity. Through retreats, day trips, coaching, and bodywork, MEhab helps people rebuild their connection to themselves after major life transitions. It’s not about “fixing” — it’s about remembering, replenishing, and practicing the life you want to live.

KNKXN — a creative mutual aid platform dedicated to connecting people through shared opportunities, collaborative projects, and storytelling. KNKXN is both a media hub and a community amplifier — helping individuals and groups find each other, build together, and grow stronger in a world that often rewards isolation.

Prototypia — a living world and educational experience where progress is seen as a constant, curious experiment. It’s an invitation to try, to build, to explore personal and collective evolution through creativity, service, and hands-on learning.

What feels most exciting to me right now is that each of these projects doesn’t just exist digitally — they’re creating real-world ripples. From self-care retreats in the Green Mountains of Vermont, to creative gatherings and digital zines, to new collaborations across fields of art, wellness, education, and entrepreneurship — this work is alive, breathing, and expanding every day.

This year, I’m especially excited about launching MEhab’s first standalone retreat experiences, opening the VIBRARY (a music and story archive inside KNKXN), and expanding Prototypia’s programming into new creative education initiatives. Each offering is designed not just to serve individuals, but to nurture ecosystems of care, creativity, and conscious collaboration.

At the root of everything I do is a simple belief: that healing, creation, and connection are collective acts. When we care for ourselves, we inherently care for each other — and when we collaborate with intention, we have the power to build the worlds we wish existed.

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, the three qualities that have been most impactful in my journey are: resilience, relational intelligence, and creative adaptability.

Resilience has been everything. Building something meaningful — whether it’s a business, a movement, or a way of life — requires the ability to withstand uncertainty, setbacks, and long seasons of “invisible work” where the results aren’t immediate. For anyone early in their journey, I encourage you to see resilience not as toughness, but as tenderness with yourself: the ability to rest, regroup, and renew your vision over and over again.

Relational Intelligence — knowing how to build and maintain meaningful, reciprocal relationships — has been just as important as any technical skill. Nothing great I’ve done has been done alone. Learn how to listen deeply, honor people’s unique contributions, and collaborate with curiosity and respect. Invest in your people skills as much as your project skills. I call these connection – Creationships

Creative Adaptability has allowed me to thrive across very different industries, roles, and environments. In a world that’s always shifting, the ability to stay curious, learn new tools, and reimagine your approach is gold. My advice? Stay a student. Be willing to outgrow old versions of yourself. See every pivot as a portal.

If you nurture resilience, relational intelligence, and creative adaptability with as much care as you nurture your dreams, you’ll not only survive the journey — you’ll create a life that feels aligned, alive, and deeply your own.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Absolutely. Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do — and I’m always open to connecting with new allies, mutual aid supporters, and folks who feel called to walk this journey together. (Creationships)

I’m especially looking to partner with:

Creative collaborators who are passionate about storytelling, education, community building, wellness, and conscious living.

Mutual aid supporters and sponsors who believe in resourcing spaces that prioritize restoration, creativity, and collective care over competition.

Event hosts, organizations, and communities interested in inviting me to share my story, lead experiences, or co-create meaningful gatherings centered on personal transformation, creative exploration, and collaborative world-building.

Friendtors — people who aren’t just mentors or collaborators, but co-dreamers and co-doers. Those who value reciprocity, imagination, and building ecosystems of care and creativity together.

If you’re reading this and feel a resonance — whether you have an opportunity to share, an idea to grow, or simply want to be in community — I’d love to hear from you.

I believe the most powerful work is done in circles, not hierarchies — and I’m always excited to meet new people and groups who are dreaming, building, and growing new worlds too.
