What if the struggle you're in right now isn't pulling you away from your purpose... but actually helping you find it?

In this episode, I'm joined by TJ Warren, a superhero-loving educator whose journey to meaningful work included 54 job applications, ten months of searching, getting let go from the post office, and eventually discovering that his own purpose was helping other people pursue theirs.

Together, we're exploring what it actually means to pursue purpose rather than waiting around for it to magically appear. We talk about why your purpose doesn't have to be your profession, how struggle can reveal parts of ourselves we might never discover otherwise, and why being good at something isn't arrogant when you're using those gifts to serve others.

We also dig into:

  • the difference between purpose, vocation, calling, and a job
  • why purpose can sometimes turn into pressure
  • how to identify your interests, skills, passions, and values
  • why young people shouldn't be expected to have their entire lives figured out
  • what superheroes can teach us about using our strengths while navigating struggle
  • and simple questions you can ask when you're not sure what you're meant to do next

Maybe you don't need to find one perfect purpose. Maybe purpose is something you pursue, practice, and continue refining as you learn more about yourself and the world around you.

So I'll leave you with TJ's question: What will make you put on the cape this month?
