"What do I do about this?"This question is one that can trigger action, even in a moment of pain.

This agency is critical to processing and managing difficult situations, and it will change how we relate to our experiences for the better.🙏 Today's Episode is Brought To you by: RetoolBuild internal tools, remarkably fast.

There is something almost pseudo-religious about talking about purpose that is easy to get hung up on, especially if you don’t consider yourself a particularly spiritual person. Purpose is often equated with some kind of externally designated path. We often think of purpose as something that is destined or otherwise set out before us. If you have been hesitant or afraid to explore your own purpose, I want you to take some time to explore why.🙏 Today's Episode is Brought To you by: RetoolBuild internal tools, remarkably fast.
