An easier way to approach “What’s my purpose?”

When I left my dream job on Capitol Hill at 25, I only knew what I *didn’t* want to do anymore.

I went searching for my “purpose,” which I thought was a single, elusive thing that I needed to “find.”

It took a few years of searching for purpose *out there* before I realized that the clarity I craved arrives through forward action and a radical trust in myself to figure things out as I go.

I love this Venn diagram because it cuts through the noise about purpose being this one perfect thing that we have to find and do forever.

The reality is that purpose ebbs and flows depending on what kind of day you’re having and what season of life you’re in.

Especially when everything feels out of control, I use this practice to clarify what *is* in my control and what I can do.

Doing this practice is how I came up with my upcoming workshop: How to Trust Yourself and Be Resilient (even when the world’s on fire)!

Join me on 7/14 for an hour of learning practical tools and creating your own action plan to jump-start your self-trust and resilience practices.

Investment is $10, which includes a workbook and the recording.

And to take the work deeper, there’s a VIP option to join a Q&A one week later.

We’ll use that time to get into the nitty gritty of what’s coming up for you as you implement what you’ve learned.

Enroll here.

I hope you’re taking extra good care of yourself so far this week!
