Josephine Margaret Dias: Empowering women to rise through resilience, purpose, and self-love

Meet Josephine Margaret Dias — a teacher for over 25 years, a wellness coach, and a woman who has walked a powerful journey of transformation from shy and hesitant to confident and purposeful. Her story is one of scars turned into strength, setbacks turned into stepping stones, and brokenness repaired with grace, like kintsugi. Featured by Live Wabi Sabi, Josephine’s journey reminds us that resilience, balance, and self-love are not ideals reserved for a few, but daily practices available to every woman, at every stage of life.

Her WabiSabi Life Story:

Growing up, Josephine often felt her dreams were “too big” for the circumstances around her. Her father provided the basics, but aspirations beyond survival weren’t encouraged. It was her mother’s quiet determination to see her study that became the golden thread weaving through her life. From the shy, uncertain girl who doubted herself, Josephine grew into a confident woman who now leads with purpose, courage, and compassion.

Her Thoughts on SelfLove

For Josephine, self-love doesn’t come in grand gestures but in the everyday choices: resting without guilt after a long day, choosing nourishing food, pausing to breathe deeply, and reminding herself, “I am enough.” Some days, it’s about crying and stumbling without judgment — an imperfect but steady practice of kindness to herself.

Her proudest moment came when she stood crowned after her pageant journey. The crown itself was symbolic, but the real victory was the transformation of the shy girl who once doubted her worth into a woman who could stand tall, speak boldly, and embrace her own light. “When we rise, we give others an opportunity to rise too,” Josephine shares.

Being part of Wabi Sabi Stories feels like coming home for her — a space to celebrate the beauty in imperfections, scars, and survival. By sharing her story, Josephine hopes even one woman feels less alone, more hopeful, and more inspired to rise again.

Her Biggest Cheerleader

Her biggest supporter has always been her mother — the quiet force who instilled resilience and faith in her. Today, Josephine also celebrates her daughter, who stands by her side cheering, and her husband, who supported her pageant journey silently but steadfastly.

Her Message :

“Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect you to start living fully. Your cracks are where your light shines through.” — Josephine Margaret Dias
