Purpose Mindset

You were created with a unique purpose, my friend. The truth is though, we all can get so caught up with the pressures and demands of everyday life that it's easy to forget exactly what that purpose is sometimes, am I right? So, welcome to the relaunch of Purpose Mindset. I'm your host, Dr. Wesley Northey. I'm grateful and excited to get to join you every week with some incredible guests, as we cover a range of topics from neuroscience to psychology, faith and family, servant-leadership, mental health and more. All with the intention of helping you rediscover a greater sense of purpose, joy, meaning and fulfillment in your own life. Tune in and follow on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform. Again, so we can renew our minds and be transformed together, and ultimately serve the greater purpose that we were created for. God bless you and always remember to serve with humility, lead with courage, and live with purpose, my friend. Know that I believe in you, and we'll see you soon.
