Smith is an author, international speaker, and mindset coach who helps and coaches frustrated, confused, or isolated women to find peace, clarity, and connection.
Life Leading to Service
Makini Smith wasn’t always the powerful woman she is now; neither did she know such a persona existed inside her.
Smith was dealing with the hardships of being a teen mother, going through a tough divorce, and losing her sister. It was a period of feeling broken and defeated. She had lost her sister, who was her best friend and the one who set the perfect example of what it meant to live a service life. Her sister was a source of support and inspiration for many, and Smith knew she was being called to do the same.
Smith describes the period as her lowest moments when life had brought her to her knees. That was also when she realized she needed to stop living by fear and start living by faith.

Gracing Platforms With Positivity

She aims to empower women through relatable messaging that gives them the confidence to walk boldly with their heads held high. She encourages people to overcome self-limiting thoughts and achieve their goals by cultivating confidence, courage, and faith.
She deals with topics in ‘self-love or self-image’ that emphasize confidence as extremely important for success in your personal/business lives. ‘Getting through adversity’ deals with the understanding that resilience is not avoiding life’s issues but facing them head-on and bouncing back from them quickly. The topic of ‘transparency/ vulnerability/ authenticity’ calls for being genuine, authentic, and unashamed and encourages you to own who you were created to be.
Smith finds joy in seeing women use her lessons as tools to overcome obstacles and become their most powerful selves. She is grateful for the journey she has been gifted with and wishes to give back in gratitude.
