From Brokeness to Purpose
Our Origin Story
The Purpose Driven Network (PDN) was born not from perfection, but from pain. In a season marked by abuse, homelessness, heartbreak and deep questions about identity and worth, our Founder Monica Hurd discovered a truth that would change everything: purpose doesn't wait for your healing, it walks you into it.
After receiving The Purpose-Driven Life Book from her biological mother, Monica embarked on a personal journey to uncover the meaning behind her survival. What started as a simple book club turned into something far greater: a sacred space where people could come together to heal, grow, and rediscover who God created them to be.
Out of that space, the Purpose Driven Ladiez was founded in 2008. It was Incorporated in 2017. And expanded to a Global Network in 2022. Built on the belief that purpose is the meaning of life. Purpose is the lifeline to resilience. PDN uses therapeutic recreation, faith-based coaching, and mental health education to help individual's break free from trauma, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations. We don't just believe in healing, we believe in purpose being the very tool God uses to restore and renew.
Through our programs, workshops, and community engagement, PDN exists to help you walk in your God-given identity with confidence, clarity and conviction. No more performing. No more pretending. Just real people, doing real healing, for a real purpose.
Today, we continue to grow, expand, and serve with one mission in mind: To build a network of healed and whole individuals who know their purpose, serve their communities, and empower their families to do the same.
Because when you discover your purpose, you don't just live; you lead.
