Do What You Love - Love What You Do! Finding Your Purpose to Awaken Your True Calling in Life

YASSS! Are you ready to awaken Your True Purpose in Life and Finally Do the Work That You Actually Love?

Are you stumbling, resisting, or just plain confused about your calling, your purpose and your passions?

YUP! That was me! I spent a great number of years, in a a funk, a daze… just getting by!

I believe, too many people these days are feeling lost, and that something is missing in their life.

They feel like they want to make a more significant difference in the world, but don't know where to start.

We often walk through our lives, feeling numb and desperate for a deeper connection but don't know how to get it.

Personally, I was searching and searching but then realized guilt, and inner turmoil where playing with me and not allowing me the space to explore what I might be looking for.

So many of us work at a job thats not right for us and continue down a path that doesn't make us happy.

Unfortunately, we are so focused on the careers that we dislike, that our passions and purpose is getting pushed aside and forgotten about. 

Are You Living Your True Purpose?

Here are some signs that you aren't living your true purpose in life.

  • You always put others first, and never doing anything for yourself. 

  • You focus too much on your failures and put yourself down. 

  • You aren’t enjoying yourself and not living a fulfilling life.

  • You aren’t happy with your life’s choices. 

  • You’re too afraid to take risks.

  • You don’t wake up excited about your life.

This was me… do any of these resonate with you? Yes? Well that might just mean that you aren't living a purpose-filled life and haven't found your true calling yet. Oh yes! There is hope! I think I can help!

Let me introduce you to…
