When You Choose Yourself: A Story of Truth, Courage & Alignment with Celeste Pennington
In this deeply moving and soul-stirring conversation, Ameera sits down with writer and transformational mentor Celeste Pennington, a woman who rebuilt her entire life from the inside out.
From walking away from her 9–5, selling everything she owned, and moving her family abroad - to healing generational patterns, exploring spiritual gifts, discovering the power of the mind, and writing a love story the universe conspired to deliver; Celeste’s journey is a living masterclass in courage, intuition, and radical self-trust.
This episode is an invitation to reflect on where your own soul is calling you forward and what becomes possible when you choose alignment over expectation, truth over comfort, and faith over fear.
MEET CELESTE PENNINGTON
Celeste is a writer and transformational mentor who believes the most powerful decision you will ever make is choosing yourself.
After discovering the power of the mind through mentorship, she began intentionally co-creating her life- manifesting jobs, opportunities, moves, communities, and experiences that once lived only in her imagination. Alongside her husband and two boys, she left Canada, moved abroad, and designed a life centered around freedom, expansion, and soul-led living.
Her newly published memoir The Love List: Fast Track to Forever tells the true story of how she manifested her husband by writing a list, and how saying no to misalignment opened the door to a partnership that transformed her life.
Today, through her coaching, storytelling, Akashic Records work, and creative expression, Celeste helps others clear old patterns, trust their intuition, and consciously create the life and love they’re meant for.
