Breakthrough Conversations with Rhoda & Co
Pushed to Purpose
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes life whispers, sometimes it nudges, and sometimes it pushes us out of comfort and into calling. In this solo episode of Breakthrough Conversations with Rhoda & Co., Rhoda shares her personal journey of learning to trust those pushes, from leaving roles and relationships that no longer served her to writing Daughter of an Assassin.
You’ll hear:
What happens when we resist the nudge (burnout, stress, loss of joy).
The cost of conforming to the world’s expectations.
Why purpose lives beyond the four walls of work.
Practical steps to move forward when fear and “what ifs” try to hold you back. Reflection: Where are you resisting the push? And what’s one small step you can take this week toward alignment with your purpose?
Purpose doesn’t wait for perfect timing. It waits for your yes.
