The Unwrittn Pod

Ep.6: What If Your Purpose Is Just to Enjoy Your Life?


Listen Later

In this episode of ‘the unwrittn pod’, we tackle the big, slightly terrifying question: “What is my purpose?” Spoiler: we still don’t have a grand answer – but we do have thoughts on why hunting for one might be what’s actually stressing you out. We talk about breaking “purpose” down into different areas of life: career, friendships, relationships, and who you are to yourself, so it feels less like an existential crisis and more like something you can actually work with.Bella shares how running a half marathon and volunteering at a SeriousFun camp shifted her perspective on privilege, meaning, and giving back. Ramona talks about writing, making her magazine on connection, and how seeing her work resonate with people felt like a quiet nudge towards something that matters. We also get into sea turtle sanctuaries in Thailand, mindful choices as consumers, and why small, conscious actions are basically puzzle pieces in a much bigger picture.Across the episode, we question the obsession with courses and e-books that promise to “reveal your purpose”, and instead shift the focus to a better question: What actually fulfils you? We leave you with some gentle prompts, from noticing what feels like friction in your life, to writing a short list of things you want to try, so you can build a life you’re proud of, without needing to have it all figured out first.Instagram: unw.rittn
