Have you been feeling stuck trying to find your life purpose?
Do you worry that you’re not doing enough to fulfill your true purpose?
Purpose anxiety is so common – even the wealthiest and most successful people grapple with it!
For the longest time, I thought I wasn’t living the kind of purpose that other people seemed to have found, and judged myself harshly for it. I searched long and hard for my purpose, which I used to believe was some kind of career, something I’m incredibly good at that people would love me for, and that would help me make lots of money.
It took me years before I realized that the very act of searching for my purpose was keeping me away from it.
In this episode, I’m shedding a light on the beliefs and ideas we have around the idea of a purpose that can cause stress, anxiety, and even shame – and exploring how to live life with an open heart regardless of whether or not we think we have a purpose.
I talk about:
How I hopped from career to career for 20 years searching for my purpose and never finding it
When your life purpose becomes a false idol
The thoughts and beliefs about purpose that were keeping me stuck
5 tips for releasing purpose anxiety
A prayer for embracing our worthiness now
… and more!
