Donya is a vibrant and dynamic author, digital consultant, and educator who has dedicated her career to empowering women in their 50s and 60s to embrace financial freedom and independence through online ventures. Her journey is a testament to resilience and innovation, combining her unique experiences as a truck driver with her passion for van life and digital entrepreneurship.
My journey began in junior high when I faced my fears head-on by trying out for cheerleader in front of my peers. High school was pretty awesome until about two weeks before graduation when some classmates took something from me that I could never get back—my virginity. That experience broke me for many years, but eventually, I found the courage to talk to a life coach. This marked the beginning of my journey to discovering who I was and who I wanted to become.
I am also a 26-year breast cancer survivor. I was pregnant with my first child when I was diagnosed. Despite the doctors advising me to abort, my mental strength, determination, and positive mindset prevailed. My daughter is my miracle child, and I am also blessed with a wonderful son.
A published author, Donya’s book ‘The Diary of a Female Truck Driver’ has resonated with many, sharing her adventures and insights from the road. This storytelling extends into her latest creative project, a coloring book featuring two fun-loving characters, Pop Pi and Olive ‘Oil,’ who traverse America in an 18-wheeler, bringing joy and inspiration to readers of all ages.
Donya’s entrepreneurial spirit shines through her numerous ventures. She is the founder of ‘Freedom on Wheels,’ a digital magazine dedicated to the van life community, which includes segments like ‘Adventuring in Nature.’ Her engaging and motivational social media content, particularly on Instagram, where she has an audience of nearly 2,000 followers, focuses on travel and trucking, encouraging her audience to interact and share in her journeys. 5000 followers on tik tok and over 6000 on facebook.
In addition to her content creation, Donya is deeply involved in the health and wellness sector through her work with Young Living Essential Oils. She educates others on the benefits of essential oils and has achieved the rank of Senior Star. Her commitment to helping others is further exemplified by her upcoming subscription model for Young Living members, designed to provide consistent, high-quality content to support their businesses.
Donya is also in the process of consolidating her various Facebook groups into a single, comprehensive group called ‘Everything Donya,’ which will feature guides on living toxic-free, vitality life, and her beloved ‘Essentially Steeples’ collection. This group aims to create a cohesive and supportive community where followers can find all of Donya’s content in one place.
Donya’s dedication to education extends to her upcoming course on book writing, mindset and achieving your goals, to begin later this year, where she will share her knowledge and experience with aspiring authors and anyone needing a boost of self-confidence. Her involvement in the Facebook performance bonus program highlights her expertise in digital marketing and content creation.
Through all her endeavors, Donya’s ultimate goal is to inspire and uplift others, particularly divorced women in their 50s and beyond, helping them achieve financial freedom and a fulfilling life on the road. Her website, ‘Freedom on Wheels with Donya,’ will serve as a central hub for all her activities, including her course designs, book sales, essential oils, and high-ticket affiliate programs.
Donya’s adventurous spirit, combined with her commitment to community and personal growth, makes her a beacon of inspiration for anyone looking to break free from traditional constraints and embrace a life of freedom, exploration, and financial independence.
