This is everything I desire ~ I am signing up now ~ Count me in!
Your Host
Gloria Coppola,
Visionary, #1 best-selling Author, Inspirational Speaker, Spiritual Minister, Publisher, and educator for three decades.
​
My journey has lead me to my soul purpose, helping others heal and reaching their potential. It's been a journey of love, hardships, insights, and awakening and as a result, led me to this moment in time that we connect to raise the consciousness on this planet.
​
It was in a dream that the calling to create Powerful Potential and Purpose was gifted to me. Realigning one path, of life/health coaching to deeper healing through writing.
​
I believe in divine guidance and embarked upon this journey which has been part of my soul blueprint my entire life. You see, as a child, I loved to write and in High School, I was an award-winning poet, scholarship recipient, and editor of our literary magazine.
I went on to be a monthly featured writer for several holistic magazines for decades, an award-winning international educator, and a featured writer in local newspapers as well a featured host on multiple podcast shows.
When I authored my first book Both Ends of the Rainbow and held it in my hand, I knew there would be much more than I could understand. A magical phone call from Hay House Radio featured me several years ago on their radio show and the rest has been history.
Now with over 4 decades of experience and inspiration through my life path, travels and coaching, I have made the decision to help you bring your written word to help those that need your story in this world.
In 2020 Powerful potential and purpose publishing produced 3 collaborative books of 30 authors that all went #1 best seller. In addition, we supported 4 authors to publish their solo books which also all went best seller. It is the intention and mission to align with heart-centered entrepreneurs and spiritual beings who desire to live their purpose their voice and words.
​
January 2021, Relevant Rambles, musings of a Methodist preacher in recovery went #1 best seller. The author, Chuck Moon had a dream to publish his works and died in March 2020.
Let's make you dream a reality!
