## Resource

Something I often hear from my clients navigating midlife is: "I don't know what my purpose is anymore." I understand the feeling. But I think we've been asking the wrong question. In this episode, I challenge the idea that purpose is something waiting to be discovered and offer a different perspective altogether. Purpose is often created through commitment, action, and choosing where to direct your energy. Clarity rarely arrives before movement. More often, it emerges because of it. If you've been waiting to find your purpose, this conversation may encourage you to start creating it instead. Want everything in one place?
