Today, we're diving headfirst into the delightful myth that unless your purpose is grand and booming, it’s not worth pursuing. Spoiler alert: that’s a big ol’ pile of poppycock! Your purpose doesn’t need to be the loudest voice in the room; sometimes, it just needs to make a gentle ripple. We’re chatting about how those little acts of kindness and presence can change the world in ways we might not even notice—like scattering joy confetti everywhere! So grab your cuppa, settle in, and let’s explore how the small, everyday moments can transform lives in the most unexpectedly lovely ways. Remember, it’s all about those tiny ripples that can spark a wave of happiness!

 “Pebbles of Purpose”

This week on Myth Busting Monday, we’re flipping one of the biggest lies about purpose: that it has to be grand to make a difference.

What if the smallest acts — a conversation, a smile, a moment of presence — are the ones that shift the world the most?

In this episode, Heather shares personal stories that prove quiet, everyday intentions often carry the loudest echoes. From a single afternoon spent comforting a stranger, to sparking smiles on her London commute, to rekindling her parents’ joy one Christmas — these are pebbles of purpose dropped along the path of an ordinary life that turned out to create extraordinary ripples.

You’ll learn to:

• Recognise the small, invisible ways you already create impact
• Let go of the “go big or go home” pressure and reconnect with purpose through compassion
• Redefine what it means to live meaningfully in your own, gentle way

And you’ll be invited to notice your own pebbles of purpose — the quiet sparks of kindness you’ve sprinkled without realising.

Because the myth says you have to change the world.

The truth is, you already are.

Listen now and remember — small purposes often wear quieter shoes.

Takeaways:

• Your purpose doesn't have to be a roaring lion; sometimes it just needs to ripple like a gentle wave.
• Small acts of kindness can change the world more than we think, one smile at a time.
• Living your purpose often happens quietly in the background, without needing a spotlight.
• Finding purpose is less about searching high and low and more about noticing the little things we do every day.
