The Founder
Meet Hayden Akins
I do a lot of listening and question-asking. I’m passionate about helping you see yourself the way God sees you.
Hayden Akins // Founder
I’m a coach and creative based in Los Angeles, California. My passion is to remind people who they are and Whose they are!
Endured trauma led me to uncover, unearth, and unpack my purpose and calling. I believe we are responsible for freeing others from what we’ve been freed from. So I’ll be with you on this journey of solidifying your identity and finding community to support the beautiful, wonderful masterpiece you’ve been created to be in AND through Him!
Over the Years
the Journey to Hayden
created my first digital art piece
Peak pandemmy allowed me time to explore creative outlets. As I sat on the couch, I found myself getting lost in digital art. Thus, a digital artist was born!
acquired a business coach
Established a habit of writing daily
Moved to Los Angeles
A decision birthed out of a most trying time led me to Los Angeles – a city I had no interest in calling home. I decided on a Tuesday, quit my job Friday, and moved the following Monday. God was up to something… I had no idea just how much.
Started a business!
launched my website
published my first book – love letters to Jesus
After 21 days of prayer and fasting, God put it on my heart to write a 30-day devotional. I spent the next few weeks combing through prayer journals dating back to 2018 and seeking guidance from the Lord on how to write a personal and relatable piece of work.
Started an Etsy store
opened up commissions
Near the end of 2022, I began posting my artwork on Instagram and the response was beautiful. I opened up commissions as a way to deliver personalized art to my people. Doors started opening.
officially a published artist
Find Peace. Keep Peace. Journal asked me to create custom artwork for their “Legacy” issue.
Launched here to remind you podcast
live art show at Netflix
In honor of Black History Month, Netflix hosted a live art show at their headquarters in Los Angeles and I was invited to create at the event.
