Story & Lesson Highlights with Rev. Joslyn Farray Pierre

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Rev. Joslyn Farray Pierre. Check out our conversation below.

Hi Rev. Joslyn, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Absolutely — and it still makes me smile.
Just a few days ago, I signed the lease for my new wellbeing studio and home base in the South of Grenada. The funny part? My body was shaking like it was preparing for the Olympics… but my spirit was calm, grounded, and whispering, “This is who you’ve always been.”

That moment made me proud because it wasn’t a decision driven by fear or survival — it was a decision made by the version of me who finally knows her worth.

It made me laugh because I realized:
for years I thought I was waiting on money, timing, or people…
but the thing I was actually waiting on was myself.

And she finally showed up.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Rev. Joslyn Farray Pierre, a Creative Wellbeing Educator, Metaphysical Minister, and the founder of the Intuitive Wellbeing Institute (IWI).
My work sits at the intersection of spirituality, creative expression, and women’s transformation. I help women return to themselves — not through pressure, performance, or perfection, but through rest, ritual, and reclaiming their inner truth.

My brand was born from lived experience — years of leading health programs, teaching, mentoring, building community movements, guiding women through emotional healing, and rising through some of life’s hardest seasons. IWI is not a trend or a “nice idea.” It’s a calling. A destiny assignment. And everything I offer flows from that frequency.

At the Institute, I create premium soul-restoring experiences —
✨ wellbeing programs
✨ moon-rooted rituals
✨ creative writing soul-work
✨ luxury-soft retreats
✨ priestess-level spiritual mentorship
✨ and mind-body healing journeys loved by Caribbean women and global clients alike.

What makes my work unique?
I don’t help women “fix” themselves — I help them remember.
I don’t force hustle — I teach alignment.
I don’t lead from ego — I lead from Spirit.

Right now, I’m building my sacred retreat home in the South of Grenada, expanding my premium programs, and establishing IWI as a global sanctuary for women who are ready to rise into their next level of abundance, confidence, and spiritual power.

This is the season where purpose and prosperity finally meet — and I’m honored to walk women into the same awakening.

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My son, Kwame.
He saw me before I even understood myself.

He was only six when he transitioned, but his spirit was ancient — and he recognized something in me long before I had the language for it. He would sit by my bedside with this quiet intensity, watching me pray, reading beside me, studying me the way children do when their soul knows a truth adults can’t articulate.

He saw the minister in me before I ever called myself one.
He saw the healer in me before I gathered the courage to step into it.
He saw the depth in me before I learned to trust it.

He would look at me with this pure devotion and say,
“Mommy… my mommy.”
And in those moments, I felt seen in a way that bypassed the world completely.

I didn’t know then that he was mirroring my calling back to me — showing me who I really was, long before life gave me the confidence to claim it. Even now, all these years later, he remains one of my greatest spiritual teachers… and one of the clearest confirmations that I am walking the path I was always meant to walk.

What fear has held you back the most in your life?
My greatest fear has never been failure — it has been being seen.

Not the polished, pleasant, “helpful” version of me.
But the real me — the woman born to lead, to heal, to teach, to shift spiritual atmospheres… the woman who carries assignments that are bigger than any title the world gives.

For years, I dimmed myself to keep the peace.
I stayed small so no one would feel threatened.
I hid my wisdom so I wouldn’t become “too much.”
And I carried a quiet fear that if people really saw the depth of who I am…
they would reject me, misunderstand me, or try to control it.

That fear kept me in relationships that were beneath my calling.
It made me second-guess every spiritual nudge, every idea, every leap.

But life, suffering, and Spirit have been faithful teachers.

I learned that hiding my light helped no one — not even the people I was trying to protect.
And I realized that my calling demands visibility, not as performance, but as purpose.

Today, I am shedding that old fear.
I am allowing myself to be seen in my fullness —
as a metaphysical minister,
as a creative wellbeing educator,
as a woman who carries both softness and fire,
as someone who was never meant to shrink.

Because the truth is:
my fear was never about being seen…
it was about being seen and still choosing myself.

Now I do.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What important truth do very few people agree with you on?
The truth most people resist is this: healing is not always gentle.
Real healing is disruptive. It will ask you to leave familiar environments, break inherited patterns, set uncomfortable boundaries, and even disappoint people who benefitted from your silence.

Everyone wants healing to look soft and inspiring, but the truth is—true transformation rearranges you before it restores you. It demands honesty, solitude, bravery, and spiritual alignment.

I’ve learned that healing isn’t about comfort.
Healing is about becoming who God intended, even if it means outgrowing the places that taught you to shrink.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
I’ve lived both stories.
For years, I did what was expected: the stable job, the sensible path, the responsible daughter role. I carried the “be good, be humble, be helpful” narrative like a family heirloom. I lived inside the story I inherited, not the one God wrote for me.

But something shifted. In the quiet moments of surrender — under the moon, in the classroom, during prayer — I realized I wasn’t born to simply maintain systems. I was born to guide people into transformation.

Today, I am doing exactly what I was created to do.
My work blends ministry, wellbeing, storytelling, and Caribbean creative leadership. I help people root themselves, rise in their purpose, and radiate their authentic light.

I no longer fit into a box because I wasn’t designed to fit.
I was designed to transform — and to help others do the same.
