A movement of women, walking boldly in their God-given purpose.
We are a faith-based community equipping women in every area of life — spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and relationally.
Our Story
From a whisper of prayer to a global sisterhood.
Women of Destiny began around a small kitchen table, with a handful of women asking one question: what would it look like for a woman to live fully in her destiny? Today we steward programmes, retreats, mentorships, and resources that answer that question in hundreds of lives every year.
Our Mission
To empower women to discover, embrace, and live out their God-given purpose through faith, community, and practical equipping.
Our Vision
A generation of confident, whole, and Spirit-led women transforming families, communities, and nations.
Meet the Founder
Lola Owolabi
For more than fifteen years I’ve sat across the table from CEOs, founders, public-sector leaders and women navigating big career pivots. My work is simple: help you remove what’s in the way of the life and leadership you already know is possible.
I trained as a coach and organisational consultant after a career leading transformation programmes across the UK and Nigeria. That blend of corporate rigour and lived experience is what shapes every engagement.
Outside of work you’ll find me writing, walking long distances, and obsessively re-reading Toni Morrison.
The women behind the movement.
