On October 20th, dozens of people joined together at the first Awakening Cafe gathering which was hosted at Mlle Clifford English Tea Room and Florist. Thanks to Linda’s gracious hospitality and the enthusiasm and positive energy of the people who attended, the evening was a great success.
Two main topics were discussed: What does Awakening mean to you? and What would you like to see / experience at future gatherings?


Lianne Bridges (MBA) is a Transformation Guide, Author, and Soul Midwife who walks beside people at life’s thresholds — guiding them as they cross from confusion, restlessness, or transition into deeper clarity, alignment, and purpose.
After decades as a strategist and consultant in the corporate world, a profound personal loss awakened her deeper calling: to help others reconnect with their inner wisdom and design lives aligned with their soul’s truth.
Since founding Designing Transformation in 2009, Lianne has supported clients across diverse seasons and stages — from young adults seeking direction, to midlife seekers navigating reinvention, to elders anchoring their legacy. Her memoir, Love Will Keep Us Alive, shares her own story of loss, awakening, and re-emergence — an invitation for others to trust their own path of remembrance.
Today, Lianne blends Earth wisdom, deep listening, and multidimensional presence to create spaces where people feel deeply seen and supported. Whether through one-on-one mentorship, retreats, or her upcoming podcast, The Bridge to Soul Remembrance, her work is an invitation to step into the sacred alignment of a soul-led life.
