The question “What is my life purpose?” tends to show up in two very different points in your life.

One is when you feel like you haven’t found it yet.

The other is when you’ve achieved a lot and you’re not sure what comes next.

In both cases, it can feel like you’re missing something important.

In this episode, Dr. April Darley walks through how purpose actually shows up in your life, why it often gets overlooked, and how the way you’ve been thinking about it may be making it harder to see.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

“What am I supposed to be doing?”

“Is this really it?”

“Why does this still feel unclear?”

You may already be closer to the answer than you think.
