Welcome to a brand spanking new season of The Lorraine Murphy Show!  The theme for this season is “connection” - and you’ll see this theme to come to life in a different way each week of this season.

First up, I’m jumping into a topic that I find stresses many people out… a lot.  Living an on-purpose/purposeful/purpose-aligned life is held up as the gold standard, and it’s incredibly easy to feel like you’re falling short if you’re not 100%, 24/7 “on purpose” in your life.

 

I’ve got some strong opinions when it comes to the area of purpose, which I share in this episode - including:

• How I see women stressing themselves out unnecessarily about their purpose
• What purpose is NOT
• How purpose is often confused with vision and passion
• My definition of purpose
• The biggest mic drop insight that I’ve shared recently when I talk about purpose, and how freeing it is when we can onboard it into our lives 
• What the most destructive pitfall is for those trying to connect their purpose
• How we can physically and spiritually prepare ourselves to dive into exploring our purpose, and why this is so important
• The five questions I ask my mentees to answer to help them get closer to their purpose

The five self-exploration questions I recommend are:

1. My vision: if my life could look any way and I COULD NOT FAIL, what would I do?
2. My passions: What are the day-to-day moments of bliss that I experience in my life?
3. Purpose: What gets me excited/furious/happy?
4. Purpose: When was a time that I felt I had a strong purpose? And why was that?
5. Purpose: Who are three purposeful people I know, and why am I drawn to them?
