From Zero with Anusha Kannan

Feel like everyone else has their purpose figured out except you? Let’s break that myth. In this episode, we’re talking about why you don’t need a perfectly clear purpose right now, what neuroscience says about figuring things out in your 20s, and how real people (even the successful ones) took the long, messy route to purpose. You’re not lost; you’re just in the part where it doesn’t make sense yet.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
✨ The subtle signs you’re outgrowing an old version of yourself
✨ Why growth can feel lonely (and why that’s normal)
✨ How to navigate change without shrinking yourself back

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in between who you were and who you’re becoming, this one’s for you.

✨ The role of uncertainty and why it’s actually a powerful teacher
✨ What I did when I felt completely lost – and how I started rebuilding
✨ The hidden strength that comes from simply deciding to keep going

💭 If you’ve ever felt like life keeps testing you, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it really takes to build resilience in a way that feels real, not forced.
