If you've ever felt a restless inner voice urging you toward something greater? That feeling matters. In this episode of Working Towards Our Purpose, I dive deep into the true meaning of purpose and explore how it shapes our lives, careers, and sense of fulfillment. Drawing inspiration from my own experiences leaving corporate America, wrestling with self-worth, and learning from mentors, I discuss the ancient concept of Dharma as described in the Bhagavad Gita and Stephen Cope’s book, The Great Work of Your Life. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking clarity on their life’s purpose, tools for personal growth, and strategies for living with intention. If you're craving inspiration to break away from the 9-to-5 grind and discover your calling, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
