Episode 11: Searching for Purpose

from The New Normal · host Spencer Parsons

After the hospital, after rehab, and after therapy ends, a new question appears: now what?In this episode, I talk about the moment my recovery structure ended and I realized I was now responsible for figuring out what life was supposed to look like moving forward.For a long time, that question of purpose didn’t have a clear answer. And to be honest, there are still moments where I wrestle with it.This podcast is part of that search.I share how the idea for the show came about, why it felt like something I was being led toward, and why I’ve continued even during moments where I wondered if it mattered.If you’ve ever felt like life changed in a way that left you wondering what your purpose is now, you’re not alone.Sometimes the first step toward finding purpose isn’t believing you have one — it’s simply letting go of the belief that you don’t.
