Have you ever reached the thing you worked so hard for — the title, the milestone, the life that looks good on paper — and felt strangely flat? Like some part of you is asking, "Is this really who I'm meant to be?" If so, you're not alone, and you're not failing. In this episode, I want to offer a different way to think about purpose — one that takes the pressure off instead of adding to it. We've been taught that purpose is a destination to find. But what if it was never a place to arrive at, and always a direction to move in? In this episode, you'll learn: → Why "finding your purpose" creates so much anxiety for high achievers → Why pinning your purpose to a job or role quietly backfires → The shift from purpose-as-destination to purpose-as-direction → The difference between your gifts and your talents — and why your gifts are your compass → What to do when your gifts don't fit your current role (without blowing up your life) → A simple way to start discovering your gifts (the joy inventory from my book) → The one thing that has to come first — and why most action-takers skip it 📖 This episode draws on the ideas in my book, The Empowered Voice, which includes the full joy inventory exercise: https://krystaldiaz.com/the-empowered...
