Redefining Purpose: Exploring Dharma for a More Authentic and Meaningful Life | E51

If you've ever felt a restless inner voice urging you toward something greater? That feeling matters. In this episode of Working Towards Our Purpose, I dive deep into the true meaning of purpose and explore how it shapes our lives, careers, and sense of fulfillment. Drawing inspiration from my own experiences leaving corporate America, wrestling with self-worth, and learning from mentors, I discuss the ancient concept of Dharma as described in the Bhagavad Gita and Stephen Cope’s book, The Great Work of Your Life. This episode is perfect for anyone seeking clarity on their life’s purpose, tools for personal growth, and strategies for living with intention. If you're craving inspiration to break away from the 9-to-5 grind and discover your calling, you won’t want to miss this conversation.✨ FREE GUIDE: Soften Your Inner Critic in 7 Days: A Guide to Stop Getting In Your Own Way📍 Timestamps:00:00 – Check In01:33 – Purpose02:54 – Wrestling with Purpose & TEDx Speech Writing03:59 – From Corporate to Entrepreneurship06:18 – Networking & Meeting Purpose-Driven People08:58 – What Does Purpose Mean?09:45 – Book Review: The Great Work of Your Life11:00 – Understanding Dharma & the Bhagavad Gita12:19 – Why Dharma Resonates With Me13:54 – Reading a Key Paragraph on Dharma15:55 – Question to Listeners: Do You Feel the Pull?16:42 – Closing Thoughts & How To Connect 💡Key TakeawaysIn this episode you'll learn:How to leave a corporate jobThe concept of Dharma Listening to that inner drive for something moreFinding purpose driven work 🚀 Start Here If You’re New1.
