“Step into your purpose.”

Man that phrase gets used a lot. 

I’ve avoided using that phrase because I’ve always felt that it’s “fluffy” with no roots. But I also know that a lot of people resonate with this language. So I want to break that phrase down. 

In today's episode, we’ll discover what "Stepping Into Your Purpose" means for your career and what’s holding you back from being able to fully step into that purpose.
