Stepping into Purpose
Finding Purpose and Your Best Self Through Motherhood
Show Notes

In this episode, I talk to Ruthie Silver, host of the Talk Mommy To Me podcast, about her mission to raise women, particularly mothers, to escape the hot mess mom identity, and continue to follow their purpose beyond motherhood.
We talk about how we both shared the experience of feeling intimidated when people talked about following your purpose and passion, as we thought there was something wrong with us that it wasn't really obvious what that was.
It turns out that the same Super Soul Sunday episode featuring Elizabeth Gilbert was a turning point for both of us when she explained that there are two different types of people when it comes to discovering your purpose and passions, the jackhammer, where you're really clear about what you're here to do in the world and go for that one main thing, and the hummingbirds, who do a bit of this and a bit of that, but it comes together in one glorious symphony. 
This episode helped me accept that there was nothing wrong with me, and that I was simply a multi-passionate hummingbird, and helped me move forward and really step into my purpose. 
If you're interested in hearing this episode, I highly recommend it!
