Ep. 51: Behind the Scenes - Illuminate: Conscious Film Fest - Danette Wolpert Holman

Danette Wolpert Holman - www.lluminatefilmfestival.com

What happens when you leave behind a successful corporate career to follow an inner calling? In this deeply inspiring interview, Danette Wolpert, founder of the Illuminate Film Festival, shares her powerful story of awakening, purpose, and creating one of the world’s leading platforms for conscious cinema.

✨ After a soul-stirring vision, Danette downloaded the idea for a film festival that would do more than entertain—it would elevate global consciousness. With just $1,000 and a team of nine people (most of whom had never even been to a film festival!), she launched Illuminate in Sedona, Arizona. What followed was pure magic: world premieres, international guests, and thousands of lives transformed.

🎥 In this conversation, Danette opens up about:

• The spark that launched Illuminate
• How to align with your purpose through inner work
• The connection between personal evolution and collective healing
• Navigating burnout and a miraculous healing from a brain tumor
• The power of media to create lasting change
• Real stories from filmmakers and audiences whose lives were changed forever

💡 Danette’s message is clear: Your purpose is a sacred calling. When you align with it, the universe shows up to support you in ways you never imagined.
