Blog: Finding Your Purpose (Without Losing Your Mind in the Process)
Let’s be real—figuring out your life’s purpose isn’t some magical “aha!” moment that just happens one day. It’s a process. One that can feel messy, frustrating, and at times, downright confusing.
I’ve been there. For a long time, I asked myself the same question you might be asking: What am I actually here to do?
I had gifts, I was good at a lot of things, and yet… none of them felt like they lit me up from the inside. And some definitely didn’t pay the bills.
It wasn’t until I gave myself permission to try everything—to say “yes” to experiences, and just as importantly, to say “no” when something didn’t feel right—that I started to get clarity. Turns out, sometimes the quickest way to find out what you do want is to cross off what you don’t.
If you're in the thick of trying to figure it all out, I’ve got a simple framework that can help you dig a little deeper. This isn't about finding the perfect answer—it’s about discovering alignment.
1. What You Love (Your Passion)Start by tuning into what makes you come alive. These are the things that bring you joy, that you’d probably do even if no one ever paid you for them. Think of the activities that make you lose track of time or light you up when you talk about them.
💭 Ask yourself:
2. What You’re Naturally Good At (Your Strengths)Now think about your gifts—both the ones you’ve worked hard to build and the ones that just come easily to you. What are people always asking for your help with? What feels effortless (even if you’ve never given it much credit)?
💭 Ask yourself:
3. What the World Needs (Your Impact)Purpose expands when it touches more than just you. What problems or causes stir something in you? Where do you feel like your voice, energy, or effort could actually mean something to someone else?
💭 Ask yourself:
4. What You Can Be Paid For (Your Livelihood)Purpose doesn’t mean you have to starve. Let’s talk money—because yes, it matters. How can you take what you love and what you’re good at, and turn that into a service or product that people value enough to pay for?
💭 Ask yourself:
5. Where It All Comes Together (Your Sweet Spot)That place where your passion, skills, impact, and income align? That’s where the magic is. You don’t need to have all the answers today, but beginning to connect these dots can help you find work—and a way of living—that actually feels like you.
6. Take Aligned Action (And Let It Evolve)Clarity doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from doing. Once you see even a flicker of direction, take one small step. Try something, tweak it, reflect, and try again. Purpose unfolds as you grow.
💡 Bonus reminder: Your purpose might shift over time. That’s normal. You’re allowed to evolve, and so is what fulfills you.
Ready to Tune Into Something Deeper?
If you’re still feeling stuck, I’ve created a hypno-meditation called “Connect to Your Higher Self for Guidance to Purpose.” It’s designed to help you tune into that quiet inner voice—the one that already knows what you’re here for.
✨ You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Let’s go inward, together.

💭 Ask yourself:
- What energizes me, even on a hard day?
- When do I feel most like me?
- If money wasn’t an issue, what would I spend my days doing?
2. What You’re Naturally Good At (Your Strengths)Now think about your gifts—both the ones you’ve worked hard to build and the ones that just come easily to you. What are people always asking for your help with? What feels effortless (even if you’ve never given it much credit)?
💭 Ask yourself:
- What do others say I’m good at?
- What tasks or skills come naturally to me?
- When do I feel confident in what I’m doing?

💭 Ask yourself:
- What issues or topics pull at my heart?
- Who do I feel called to help?
- What change do I wish I could create in the world?

💭 Ask yourself:
- Is there a market for what I love to do?
- What kind of work feels aligned and sustainable?
- What are people already paying for that I could offer in my own way?
