Purpose isn't Free: What Does it Really Cost? With Maria Owusu

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most expensive thing you’ll ever buy is your own purpose? That line sits at the heart of our time with Maria Owusu—The Purpose Doula Coach—whose story of service, surrender, and hard pivots challenges the easy narratives about calling. We open with where our friendship began: serving behind the scenes and discovering the quiet power of moving people from where they are to where they’re meant to be. From there, Maria lays out a bold claim: purpose isn’t missing; it’s muffled by noise, unhealed pain, and a culture that pushes checklists over clarity.Maria’s math metaphor hits hard: 1+1=2, even in storms. Your assignment is the constant. Goals should be written to hold under pressure, not evaporate with the week’s chaos. We unpack why God gives daily bread instead of the whole.The Doula model becomes a blueprint: no one can deliver your purpose for you, but the right guidance can coach your push through the messy middle. If you’re feeling stuck, behind, or pressured to perform, this conversation will give you practical language, storm-proof goal setting, and a grounded way to pursue calling with courage and peace.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a rating and review so more people can find these conversations. And if you’re ready to commit to the cost of your yes, tell us what imaginary number you’re dropping today.Connect with us on Social MediaInstagram:The Summit Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/the.summitpodcast/Clifton Ross Jr: https://www.instagram.com/justcliftonrj?igsh=MXB2ZG9xa2V2cnVvYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrMakeWellness Affiliate: Transform Your Wellness Routine with MAKE Wellness PeptidesPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thesummitpodcast1/membership?view_as=patronConnect with our Guest:Instagram: Maria Owusu https://www.instagram.com/himariaowusu?igsh=cDl3YzRtZjNtb2c=35.6 °FWebsite: https://purposedoula.kit.com/a9bc91d31c?fbclid=PAVERFWANOjblleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpy7T3nQszkNKd0CUT6SqX0z2okJr1O6-ZKotVYRMhSQpPgKrMVKdlt6rgIZd_aem_dPkVuYg3pa4p_tk4EfSmiwI don’t own rights to this musicMusic by Jamari Parish “Summit”  https://open.spotify.com/track/2vLlwPfl1qHtfjUdaZgT5e?si=DW-VlYn6SSOX5oH3RnPXbg Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
