Dr. Vanessa Scott-Thompson shares her remarkable journey from reluctant teacher to pioneering leader, demonstrating how divine purpose often manifests through the very things we initially resist.

• First in her family to earn a doctorate degree, completing it by age 31
• Career evolved from teaching to leadership positions in K-12 and nonprofit sectors
• Found her calling in sacred teaching despite initial resistance
• Turned her church curriculum into a published book after multiple divine nudges
• Experience as an educator uniquely equipped her to advocate for her neurodivergent children
• Views herself as a divinely appointed "change agent" guided by Joshua 1:3
• Redefined success from achievements to making meaning and being light to others
• Emphasizes respecting all career paths and recognizing everyone's value
• Recommends taking career interest inventories, seeking divine guidance, and trusting your instincts
