[Ep 58] When Life Feels Purposeless with Life Purpose Coach Arris Charles

What do you do when you feel like you don't have a purpose? Or maybe let me ask it this way, Do you feel like you are living life on purpose? Do you struggle to find meaning with the work you do—whether that's a traditional job, a ministry you lead, or even caring for your own family and loved ones? I have seen, time and again, that when people feel purposeless, they struggle to have hope. They struggle to find meaning. Have you ever felt that way? And if so, what do you do in those moments? To help me answer those questions, I've invited Arris Charles to join me on the podcast. Arris is a Life Purpose Coach, helping women not only identify their God-given purpose but also how to live that out on a daily basis. She has so much wisdom to share here, and I've got to tell you, I learned that we have a lot in common as it relates to being encouragers and writers! During our conversation, we cover questions like, How does knowing our purpose impact our daily life? Do we have one big purpose or lots of little ones, or what does that look like? How do we discover our purpose in the first place? What happens when you don't like what you feel God is calling you to do? What do we do when we're jealous of someone else's purpose, or they are jealous of ours? Plus, she offers us some very practical examples that helps us flesh out this whole idea of purpose. Especially at the end, so be sure to listen for that. If this episode resonates with you, be sure to grab her Purposeful Life Assessment and Reflection Guide. The link is in the show notes.
