Hope and Purpose

from How to Be Human · host Anna Toonk

Anna and Nina have realized that they tend to attract clients that want answers about their purpose in life, or are looking to generate hope around things that feel impossibly hard. So many of us go about seeking purpose backwards and struggle with feeling like we need to be good enough for our destiny, rather than accepting that purpose is neutral and exists in many containers. Anna and Nina discuss the expansiveness of purpose and how to look within in order to embody it. Nina also shares her message to any parents out there who struggle with finding purpose in their parenting and touches on the damaging nature of perfectionism, especially when it comes to raising children. Part of tapping into your purpose requires a sense of hope, but also a stripped down version of your expectations and an honest look at reality. Anna and Nina chat about how hope can sometimes feel like a delusion, but it’s important to not overindulge in your own angst and get bogged down by negativity. They bring up how they work on hopefulness with clients who are struggling with particularly tender difficulties, including infertility and heartbreak. Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, or on your favorite podcast platformTopics Covered:Why it’s important to remove all of the things that make us doubt our innate purpose The misconception that purpose is a single thing A reflection exercise for anyone who feels like they don’t know where to start looking for their purpose Having the courage to take action and learn from failure  What it feels like to be out of sync with your desireProducing genuine hope and belief, not toxic positivity Resources Mentioned:The Body Is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor  Get in Touch:How to Be HumanHow to Be Human InstagramAnna's InstagramNina's InstagramBook a session with AnnaBook a session with Nina
