Have you ever questioned whether your life has a purpose? Whether you're living that purpose? Maybe you just feel lost and envy those you see who seem to be so fulfilled by their "mission" in life.

In this episode, I dive into a subject that seems to paralyze a lot of young people--myself included. Discovering your life's purpose is more complex than dedicating your life to a cause or making a difference. It can be one thing or many. I'm about to explore the messy, beautiful journey that is finding one's life purpose and figuring out how to start living it!
