Today, we continue to dive deep into the topic of purpose and finding meaning in our lives. In this podcast episode with Annalie Howling, a performance coach with over 20 years of experience working with leaders in various industries. Annalie shares her personal journey of rediscovering her true self, finding purpose, and embracing vulnerability. The idea of joining the dots throughout our lives really resonates here. Annalie explained that our purpose is not something external that we need to chase, but rather an inner quest to uncover the unique gifts and passions that already exist within us. It's about connecting the different aspects of ourselves and aligning our actions with our true values. Annalie encourages us to pay attention to the moments when we feel lost or overwhelmed, as these can be critical opportunities for growth. By seeking help and guidance, whether through coaching, therapy, or supportive communities, we can peel back the layers that have accumulated over time and rediscover our authentic selves. Another powerful concept that Annalie touches on is the importance of self-worth. Many of us struggle with doubts and insecurities, especially when faced with challenging situations or when embarking on new endeavors. Annalie shared her own journey of building self-worth, emphasising the significance of self-compassion and understanding that we deserve better than the trauma we may have experienced. Annalie's story serves as a reminder that finding purpose and embracing vulnerability is a personal journey. It's about giving ourselves permission to show up fully, to take leaps of faith, and to access our intuition.
