Summer Mini Series, Part 1: Investing in Passion and Purpose

In this episode

In this episode I'm kicking off something I've been excited about all year — a summer mini series. These are shorter, focused conversations where I walk you through the things I get asked about most, especially by the women I speak to about following and strengthening their passion and purpose. Part one starts right at the foundation: what passion and purpose actually are, so we're all on the same page.

I describe passion as that inner blue flame — the thing that lights you up and comes to you naturally, those God-given gifts and talents that feel effortless to you even when they look impressive to everyone else. Purpose, I always say, equals fulfillment, and so often it's tied to that sense of calling on your life. Passion fuels action, and purpose sustains it.

I also share a little about my friend and former guest Muriel Fahrion, the artist behind Strawberry Shortcake and the Care Bears, who knew her gift young and still works in it almost daily. And I leave you with four questions to sit with if you don't yet know your passion — because figuring this out is an investment of time in yourself, and you owe that to yourself. Keep going. I think you'll find this one helpful.
