164: Why Before How

Finding and following your purpose begins with “Why.” Everyone needs a Why; today hear the reason. 

Today's Lexi: 

Αριστεία - Arostia - Disease 

In Today’s Episode:

Today a looksee at Chapter 1 – Why Before How

As I write my chapter, it is rewarding because the action of writing is cathartic, and writing thoughts down on paper clears up things in your own head, bringing an element of clarity.

The chapter I’m on now, Why Before How, takes me back to my Eureka moment.... It’s a funny thing about how a singular event can you open your eyes to your purpose.

This episode peeks at Kiki’s eureka moment to WHY, and whets your palate to discover yours.
