A Call to Serve

Through Pauline Turla’s (Founder, PS&P) years of serving her local church, getting to know her surrounding communities, and connecting with a range of people from different backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences, she found that many struggle with balancing their personal lives, work, school, meeting expectations from their communities or families, while also growing spiritually. She’s had stories shared with her of feeling burnt out, unmotivated, depressed, hurt by a certain group, discouraged by loved ones, unheard, misjudged, or inadequate when pursuing their careers. Through her platform, she aims to provide the help they need to not just solve their problems, but just enough inspiration for them to desire to grow through it, as that is where their true potential and selves shine. In a world that seems to have unrealistic and high expectations, Pauline and Co-Host Marierose, hope to share practices and programs that will encourage them to be accountable, intentional, and purpose-driven.
