Joy First®

The Purpose Audit


Listen Later

Have you ever hit a milestone you'd been working towards for years, only to sit in the silence afterwards and think, is this it?


This is the finale episode of the Joy First Audit series: where we've been exploring the 6 categories of the Joy First audit, and today we're onto Category 6: Purpose. Meaning, growth, impact, & legacy.

The thread that holds everything else together.


In this episode I share my own pattern of "what now, what next" moments (which, as it turns out, have arrived almost like clockwork every four years) and explore why these moments aren't a sign you've lost your way. They're often a sign you've outgrown the version of yourself that built the thing you've already built.


In this episode:

  • Why the "what now" moment is almost always an important milestone
  • The Harvard Study finding that proves the power of purpose for living long, healthy life
  • What dog ownership and ikigai have in common (and what it tells us about how even the small stuff counts)
  • Why most entrepreneurs start with fear-fuelled drive and eventually have to reckon with something else entirely
  • The pain or pleasure question that unlocks more Whyfinding® sessions than any other


Whether you scored 15/15 or felt every question land in a tender place, this episode is an invitation to start noticing what you're already chasing when it comes to being in service, and finding meaning in your life, business and storytelling.
