Purpose Isn't a Destination, It's a Direction
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You did everything right — and still, in the quiet moments, a question surfaces: is this really who I'm meant to be?
In this episode, I offer a gentler way to think about purpose. We've been taught it's a destination to find. But what if it was always a direction to move in? We talk about why pinning your purpose to a job backfires, the difference between your gifts and your talents (and why your gifts are your compass), a simple way to start discovering them, and the one thing that has to come first before any of it works.
This episode draws on the ideas in my book, The Empowered Voice, which includes the joy inventory exercise: https://krystaldiaz.com/the-empowered-voice/
