Chasing Purpose episodes

  • Love it's a Verb
    Love isn't what someone says to you — it's what they do. In this episode, Kathleen Conner breaks down love as a verb: past tense, present tense, future tense. The record, the practice, the intention. Why attention is not intention. Why someday is not a plan. And why the most important object of your love has been missing from your sentence your whole life.

  • And the Oscar Goes to... Social Optics and Performative Patterns
    You are winning Oscars for shows that bombed. Kathleen Conner tells the story of a client who collected awards daily - Best Wife, Best Mother, Best Professional - for performances nobody believed. Everyone knew the show failed, but they kept clapping. When she walked off stage, her family panicked, friends left, her marriage ended. Not because she failed. Because she stopped acting. This is about performing your life instead of living it, and what happens when you take off the costume.

  • Take the Damn Compliment
    Women are experts at deflecting compliments - minimizing, joking or brushing them off entirely.  In this episode, Kathleen and Wendy explore why receiving recognition feels uncomfortable, where the reflex comes from, and what it costs us to keep shrinking.  If you've ever struggled to simply say "thank you", this conversation will hit home.

  • Here Me Roar
    We treat resentment like a character flaw. Like proof we're petty or ungrateful. The problem is resentment doesn't disappear when you ignore it—it compounds. In this episode, Kathleen breaks down why the anger you've been pushing down is actually your internal alarm system telling you something is misaligned. Through Rachel's story, you'll learn how to trace resentment back to its source and address it before it turns into bitterness or an explosion nobody saw coming.

    Outgrowing is a sign you’re awake. Kathleen Conner and Wendy Harrop talk raising your emotional baseline—and how it reshapes what you want, what you tolerate, and who fits.

  • Heads or Tails? You Don't Have to Wait for the Right Decision. Make the Decision Right for You.
    In this episode of Chasing Purpose, Kathleen Conner breaks down decision paralysis and what really happens after you choose. From a college roommate who refused to decide to the “Sliding Doors” trap of imagining alternate timelines, Kathleen explores fear-based doubt, overthinking, and the illusion of the “right” choice. You don’t need certainty. You need commitment. Choose. Then make the decision right.

  • Satisfaction: It's Time to Stop Faking It
    Women are taught to be satisfied. Grateful. Content with what they have. And when they're not? They learn to fake it. Kathleen Conner sits down with Wendy Harrop to talk about what happens when you stop pretending you're satisfied with a life too small, relationships not working, and a version of yourself you've outgrown. This is about the audacity of wanting more—more time, energy, career, pleasure, life—and why it feels like breaking every rule women were raised to follow.

  • Stay Out of My Hula Hoop
    In this episode of Chasing Purpose, Kathleen Conner reframes boundaries using a simple but powerful metaphor: the hula hoop. Boundaries aren’t walls meant to shut people out—they’re clear lines that protect connection. Kathleen explores why boundaries feel hard to set, why guilt shows up when you enforce them, and how pushback often reveals who benefited from you having no limits. Practical, grounded, and direct
