Finding Purpose
by Adam Vohra
Have you ever felt life is flying by, and as it does you're drifting deeper and deeper into a purposeless abyss? I know I have. Welcome to Finding Purpose. I'm Adam Vohra, and for much of my life I lacked purpose and direction, fueled by events in my early childhood and self medicating myself with alcohol. Together, we'll explore different paths to purpose and how you can make a positive impact in your own unique way. You'll hear stories of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of purpose. We'll delve into the personal journeys of guests who've looked their demons in the eye and conquered them. These remarkable conversations display a common thread with emotional intelligence serving as the beacon to navigate relationships, setbacks and opportunities that present themselves on the path to a fulfilling life. So, join me on this journey as we find meaning and learn how to uncover the beauty of purpose while striving to make a lasting impact in our communities and beyond. Follow us
