This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from my own journey -

“Sometimes it's a whisper to change how you work or how you live. It's not like ambition or ego or what the world tells us we should want. The purpose impulse is something deeper. It's innate. It's the voice of your spirit calling you back into alignment with who you really are. And while it may be quiet at first, it's persistent. If you ignore it, it doesn't disappear. It waits. It returns. It taps you on your shoulder, so to speak, whispering, this isn't it. There's something more.”

You know that moment when everything on paper looks great - your career, your accomplishments, your life - and yet something inside still feels off? In this solo episode, I’m naming that feeling.

I call it the purpose impulse, and I share my own story of how it showed up for me years ago while working in child protective services. It was quiet at first, but eventually, it became impossible to ignore. I’ll walk you through what it feels like, why it matters, and how it could be guiding you toward something deeply real and meaningful in your own life.

I also share a powerful moment that changed everything for me - a moment that helped me recognize that the path I was on no longer fit, even though it looked right from the outside. If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions, even while succeeding, this conversation is for you.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. You’ll learn how to recognize the subtle signs that you’re out of alignment, even when everything looks “fine.”

2. You’ll hear a deeply personal story that helps explain what the purpose impulse really feels like, and why it matters.

3. You’ll get a simple, reflective question to help you reconnect with what your inner voice has been trying to tell you.
