186. What's My Purpose? Part 3 of 3

from Wisdom of the Body · host Heather Grzych

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores why the question "What is my purpose?" so often feels impossible to answer, and why trying to figure out your life purpose by thinking harder can actually make you feel more stuck, anxious, and disconnected. This episode examines the physical and emotional signs people experience when their life no longer fits, including burnout, fatigue, lack of motivation, and low-grade anxiety. Heather explains how purpose is not a mental decision or career choice, but something that reveals itself when you stop forcing answers and start listening to your body, your energy, and your lived patterns over time. This episode is for anyone feeling lost after a life transition, questioning their work or direction, or searching for meaning beyond productivity and external expectations. This is part 3 of a series on finding your purpose.
