    Myths About Purpose That Might Be Holding You Back with Dr. Robin | Ep 204

    This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say: “True purpose, deep meaning, and profound fulfillment come from living in alignment with your authentic self, expressed through your passions, your values, your natural abilities, in service to someone, or something, beyond yourself.” In this solo episode, I’m sharing a page from my upcoming book, Becoming a PurposeMAKER, and diving into a topic that’s close to my heart: the myths about true purpose that may be holding you back. For years, I believed purpose was tied to my job, a title, or some external milestone. But after more than 20 years of ups and downs, I’ve discovered that true purpose is so much more than that—and it’s not something “out there” waiting to be found. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: Learn why purpose isn’t a singular destination and how to embrace purpose as an ongoing journey. Discover why external achievements can never fully define your sense of meaning and fulfillment. Explore 4 key questions to reflect on as you start aligning with your authentic self. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re chasing the wrong idea of purpose, this episode is for you. Let’s break down those misconceptions and start living a life that truly reflects who you are.
