How To Find Your Purpose (Without Quitting Your Job to Herd Goats in Peru)

How To Find Your Purpose (Without Quitting Your Job to Herd Goats in Peru)

Let’s dismantle the first and most damaging myth about purpose:
That it arrives like a divine memo. A crystal-clear download. A neat, bullet-pointed presentation titled “Your Sacred Mission on Earth: Slide 1 of 48.”

It doesn’t.

What we call purpose is not a destination.
It’s not a job title. It’s not “finally figuring it out.”
It’s a breadcrumb trail made of curiosity, mistakes, detours, random DMs, weird jobs, emotional breakdowns, things you regret, things you absolutely don’t, and every time you’ve ever felt “this isn’t it.”

Most people don’t miss their purpose because they’re lazy.
They miss it because they’re too busy scanning the horizon for something that looks impressive.

I know because I did this for ten years.

I took a job I didn’t care about, told myself it was just until I figured it out, and woke up a decade later with an impressive title, a packed schedule, and a gnawing sense that life was happening without me.

What was I waiting for?

Permission?
A lightning bolt of clarity?
An angel holding a whiteboard?

Eventually, I got tired of waiting and left it all behind.
I went to live in a Kung Fu school in the mountains of China.
(Which, to be clear, was not Plan A. Or B. Or even Z.)

But here’s the thing they don’t tell you when you take a wild leap:
You’re not starting from scratch.
Everything you’ve done counts.

That boring job? It gave me the operational skills to build businesses.
That relationship I stayed in too long? It taught me to listen when my body says “no.”
That long-ass stretch of confusion? It trained me to walk with uncertainty and not collapse.

It wasn’t wasted time.
It was training.

Not for the final destination — but for the unfolding.
The next breadcrumb. The next nudge. The next version of me I didn’t even know I’d be brave enough to become.

Stop Waiting for the Answer. Be the One Who Answers Back.

You want to find your path?
Show up to right now with your whole heart.

Stop trying to make the “perfect” decision.
Make the one that feels true — even if it’s wild, irrational, or makes no sense to your family.

That’s how it starts. Not with certainty, but with resonance.

It’s the conversation I have with my students and clients all the time:
You don’t get the full map. You get the next step.
And then the next. And then another.

Eventually you look back and realize:
“Oh. I was becoming it the whole time.”

So If You’re Feeling Lost…

You’re not broken.
You’re not behind.
You’re just standing at the edge of a new chapter, waiting to feel enough certainty to leap.

But purpose doesn’t reward caution.
It rewards courage.

This entire blog, business, brand — all of it — exists because I stopped waiting and started walking.
Because I decided to trust that if something feels like a yes, that’s reason enough to move.

If this speaks to you, maybe it’s time.

Time to stop asking what you’re “meant” to do.
Time to start noticing what feels alive.
What feels now.
What feels like a deeper you, trying to come online.

The life you want isn’t hiding.
It’s just waiting for you to start showing up as the person who can live it.
