Let Your Life Speak by Parker J. Palmer

What if your purpose in life isn’t something you have to chase, but something you need to listen for?In this episode, Dave and Poppy explore Let Your Life Speak by Parker J. Palmer, a thoughtful and deeply personal reflection on vocation, identity, and living in alignment with who you truly are.Dave and Poppy  unpack Palmer’s idea that many people spend years trying to become who the world expects them to be, while quietly ignoring their own inner voice. The conversation explores fear, burnout, authenticity, and the pressure to constantly perform, showing how disconnection from self often leads to dissatisfaction and exhaustion.Dave and Poppy reflect on the importance of listening to your experiences, recognising your natural gifts, and allowing your life to reveal its direction over time rather than forcing certainty. Dave and Poppy also discuss how stillness, honesty, and self-awareness create space for meaningful growth and deeper fulfilment.This episode is reflective, calming, and deeply human. If you’ve ever questioned your path, struggled with identity, or felt pulled towards something more meaningful, this conversation offers reassurance that your true direction may already be speaking to you.Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Mind Set in Stone Podcasts.
