The Power of 7 Words: Wini Alexander's Journey to Purpose
MOMTALK MARYLAND | SEASON 2, EPISODE 16
What happens when your passion becomes your purpose? In this episode of Mom Talk Maryland, host Claire Duarte sits down with Wini Alexander, founder of My 7 Words, to talk about career reinvention, faith, leadership, and the power of showing up as your authentic self.
With more than 20 years of experience in training, coaching, and professional development, Wini shares how her journey from retail management to airport customer service training eventually led her to build her own business. She also reveals the unexpected moment when the words that would inspire My 7 Words came to her—and how trusting the timing of that vision helped shape her path.
Together, Claire and Wini explore what it means to own the room, overcome self-doubt, lead with confidence, and create meaningful connections in both business and everyday life. Wini also shares how prayer grounds her before stepping into a room, why slowing down can create space for clarity, and how a simple word of encouragement can make a lasting difference in someone's life.
Whether you're a mom navigating a new season, an entrepreneur building something of your own, or a woman looking for renewed confidence and direction, this conversation is a reminder that growth isn't always linear, purpose can unfold in unexpected ways, and it's never too late to step into the person you're meant to be.
