English Language & Usage Asked on March 20, 2021
Here are a few options:
She: ‘She’ is the subject of the verb ‘lives’.
I: ‘I’ is the subject of the verb ‘am’.
Wherever she lives: ‘Wherever she lives’ is the subject of the verb ‘is’.
Where I am destined to be: ‘Wherever I am destined to be’ can also be the subject of the verb ‘is’, or it can also act as the subject complement.
"Where she lives is where I am supposed to be." Here, 'where she lives' is the noun clause that stands for the subject.
Noun clause itself has a subject and verb of its own. That way, its subject is 'she'.

"Where she lives is where I am destined to be." Here, ‘Wherever she lives' is the noun clause functioning as ‘the subject’.
‘She’ is the subject of the clause.
“Where(ver) I am supposed to be” is the complement noun clause.

Wherever she lives is where I am destined to be.
This is a pseudo-cleft construction.
The subject of the sentence is the preposition phrase “wherever she lives” in a fused relative construction. "Wherever" is simultaneously head of the PP and object of "lives in the embedded relative clause". Think of it as meaning "anywhere (that) she lives".
"Where I am destined to be" is also a preposition phrase in a fused relative construction, where the meaning is "the place where I am destined to be", functioning as subjective predicative complement of "is".
