How Faith, Truth & “Spiritual Intelligence” Unlock Your Highest Purpose — with Donna Tashjian
from Hacks and Hobbies with Junaid Ahmed · host Junaid Ahmed
Key Takeaways Clarity isn’t the problem—truth is. Most people say “I don’t know what to do,” but deep down they’re avoiding the truth they already sense God is showing them. Purpose lives in the small hinges. A single conversation, a prayer, a hug, or one belief‑shifting sentence can change someone’s entire trajectory. Identity is the hidden clarity block. How you see yourself (and whose you believe you are) silently governs every decision, risk, and action you take. Mindset alone will burn you out. When everything is “up to you,” declarations and hustle turn into striving; co‑partnering with God changes the entire experience. Visibility exposes old wounds. Fear of being seen is often rooted in childhood pain and shame; rewriting that inner story is what finally unlocks your calling.

What this episode covers
Episode Description What if your problem isn’t clarity…it’s truth? In this raw and faith-filled conversation, Junaid sits down with Donna Tashjian — strategist, activator, and founder of Vibrant Living International — to dismantle some of the most celebrated myths in personal development. Donna believes most people don’t have a clarity problem; they have a truth problem. And the cost of avoiding that truth is burnout, striving, and a life that looks “successful” but feels empty. In this episode, they go deep into identity, purpose, spiritual intelligence, and surrender. You’ll hear how small, unseen acts can literally save a life, why traditional mindset work often keeps people stuck, and how to move from fear‑driven “hustle” to grace‑powered calling. If you’ve been doing all the things—reading, journaling, declaring, grinding—and still feel like something’s missing, this episode will feel uncomfortably honest and profoundly freeing.
