Do you tackle your days with intentionality or is life simply happening to you?

Are you on track with your long-term goals or have you wandered so far off the beaten track you have no idea where you are in life?

To quote Elaine Stritch, "Are you having any fun?"

A sense of purpose is essential for mental and emotional well-being and can often be a powerful antidote to stress, anxiety and depression.

I'm diving into what it means to have purpose and how to reconnect with yours in this episode. If you'd like to experience more joy and less Groundhog Day, this is for you.

Episode highlights:

  • Defining purpose; what is is and why it matters
  • How purpose builds resilience (have a listen to the previous episode for more on resilience)
  • The different life areas that'll give you a sense of purpose
  • How purpose affects your mental health
  • Why work without purpose leads to burnout
  • The relationship between purpose and stress
  • 4 powerful questions to ask yourself that'll help you reconnect with your purpose


I suggest jotting these questions down and spending some time working through them to access your own intuitive insights. I'd love to hear your takeaways - pop me a DM on Instagram and let me know - @emmaobriencoach
