Life by YOUR Design

My guest is Helen Leith, Founder of Nokori, a Sydney-based company that provides a range of scar care products and support for people undergoing surgery.

Helen is a 4/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator.

We got frank about leaving a secure job to start a business, going back to corporate, self-doubt and the tipping point into success.

Ever wondered why some goals are a breeze, while others feel like an uphill battle, or escape you completely?

If you find yourself stuck in your search for purpose, feeling unsure of how to navigate your desires and direction, you're not alone. But here's the truth: everyone has a purpose. It's not some elusive treasure hidden at the end of an over-analysed path. 

Unfortunately, it's a journey which we've complicated with unnecessary dogma and misconceptions.

It's not about success, achievement or careers, but a journey of self-discovery. 

If you are feeling stuck or simply ready to begin your exploration, join me in this first episode (after my hiatus!) where I encourage you to explore the concept of purpose from a fresh perspective.  I cover the three things purpose is not, as well as what it is.

Episode Highlights:

• 02:06 The reason I support people to connect to purpose
• 03:21 My personal and professional journey with purpose
• 05:11 Everyone can find purpose 
• 06:27 Purpose goes beyond life success, achievements, and possessions
• 09:30 “Purpose does not equal a job or career.”
• 12:04 “Your purpose is not a tagline.”
• 13:47 You don’t discover it with your head
• 16:15 A new definition of purpose
• 20:05 Steps to progress in your journey
• 21:31 What to expect in this new season of the podcast
