Life. On Purpose
Brandi Eilert is the creator and host of Life. On Purpose — a podcast dedicated to the stories that awaken us, shape us, and remind us why we’re here. With a gift for deep listening and genuine connection, Brandi guides conversations that explore resilience, faith, healing, and the pursuit of meaning in a world that often values achievement over authenticity.
A lifelong seeker and storyteller, Brandi’s own path has been one of transformation — moving through challenge, loss, and reinvention to find a deeper sense of purpose. Through her interviews with athletes, advocates, thinkers, and everyday visionaries, she creates space for the kind of truth that heals and inspires.
Grounded, empathetic, and unafraid to ask the big questions, Brandi’s mission is simple: to help others live more consciously, love more deeply, and align their lives with what truly matters.
When she’s not behind the mic, you’ll find her immersed in family life, college basketball games supporting her husband, creative projects, or somewhere quiet (usually home - her sanctuary) — reflecting, reading, writing, and practicing what she preaches: living on purpose.
