Discovering Purpose: Empowering Youth to Transition Into Adulthood

When the clock strikes 18, society declares you an adult. But for many, the mental and emotional shift into adulthood remains a daunting challenge. Coach Kesi, founder and CEO of Destined for Purpose Life Coach, is on a mission to bridge this gap. Since 2022, her organization has been guiding youth and young adults through one of life’s most transformative phases with purpose, love, and unwavering support.

Understanding the Journey to Adulthood

“Transitioning into adulthood is about more than paying bills,” Coach Kesi explains. “It’s about understanding who you are and where you’re going.” Her coaching focuses on helping young people discover their authentic identity, free from the pressures of social media and societal expectations. By exploring their roots, upbringing, and sense of belonging, clients gain a clearer picture of who they are and who they want to become.

Through workshops and one-on-one sessions, she equips her clients with the tools to make healthy decisions, prioritize self-awareness, and embrace the holistic framework of adulthood. This approach ensures they don’t just survive but thrive in their new chapter.

From Passion to Purpose

Coach Kesi’s journey began during the pandemic. “I’ve always been passionate about helping people,” she shares. “During that quiet time, I asked myself, how can I help youth navigate their challenges?” The answer came clearly: become a life coach.

After extensive research and training at a life coaching institute, she launched Destined for Purpose. The name reflects her belief that every young person is born with potential and a unique purpose. Her own experiences raising three children inspired her to extend the love and support she provided at home to the wider world. “When I asked my children if I could share my passion with the world, they said, ‘Of course! The world needs it,’” she recalls.

Overcoming Challenges With Patience

Starting a business is no small feat. For Coach Kesi, patience became her greatest ally. “In the beginning, I struggled with the idea of waiting. But I learned that patience is not a waste of time—it’s a tool for growth.”

This lesson now shapes her coaching philosophy. By teaching youth and young adults to embrace patience, consistency, and self-belief, she empowers them to face challenges head-on and turn weaknesses into strengths.

Practical Tools for Transition

Destined for Purpose offers more than coaching sessions. One standout resource is the “Transitioning Into Adulthood” Handbook, a guide designed to meet young people where they are. Filled with practical advice, inspirational quotes, and step-by-step strategies, the handbook is both relatable and impactful. “I wanted it to be more than a book—I wanted it to feel like a companion,” says Coach Kesi.

From overcoming the fear of adulthood to mastering interview techniques, the handbook covers critical topics in a way that resonates with today’s youth. It even includes a prayer of affirmation, offering hope and encouragement to readers who may feel lost or unsupported.

Addressing the Root Challenges

One of the most significant barriers Coach Kesi encounters is a lack of love and support. “Many young people don’t have someone they can confide in or trust,” she observes. Her coaching provides that safe space, emphasizing self-love as the foundation for growth.

By sharing her own experiences and showing vulnerability, she helps clients understand that their past does not define them. “You’re not your mistakes,” she tells them. “You have the power to change your path and create a life you’re proud of.”

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Coach Kesi dreams of taking Destined for Purpose global. “I want this to be a movement,” she says. “Every city, every state, every country—young people everywhere deserve this support.” Her vision includes expanding her programs, building partnerships, and fostering a culture of collaboration rather than competition.

A Message to the Youth

To every young person navigating the complexities of adulthood, Coach Kesi offers this message: “You are supported. You are loved. Even if you never meet me, know that someone is rooting for you. Life is good, and you have the power to live it fully. Trust yourself, stay focused, and remember—you are destined for purpose.”
