Purpose / Distraction

In this episode of the “Faith in the Wild” Podcast, Nicole and Angelica continue their season theme of faith in action and faith over fear by exploring “Purpose over Distractions.” They define purpose as an embodied, heart-and-soul anchoring in God’s calling rather than just the work you do, and describe distractions as internal and external “noise” that pulls you off course. They discuss practices like the “seven whys” to get to the root of intention, daily surrender of control and timelines, and noticing when self-judgment, overwhelm, or phone habits derail focus. Nicole shares her purpose-driven business, Live With Purpose Consulting, supporting aging-in-place solutions through home safety assessments and community education. In contrast, Angelica shares her purpose of love expressed through healing artists and communities via music and wellness through Angelface Records.00:00 Sunny Greetings01:18 Season Theme Setup02:52 Defining Purpose07:01 Seven Whys Method10:37 Anchored Calling16:25 Self-Made Distractions18:32 Nicole Weekend Spiral25:00 Surrender Daily Practice26:54 Live With Purpose Intro27:37 Aging in Place Mission28:25 Home Assessments and Education29:33 Purpose at Every Stage30:38 Where to Find Nicole32:39 Angelica Purpose and Healing Arts37:55 Angel Face Records and Projects39:15 God Timeline and Patience43:51 Navigating Distractions49:25 Seven Whys Exercise52:20 Be Curious Closing|| JOIN THE COMMUNITY ||> Subscribe and Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube> Purchase our “Faith Over Fear 11-week Devotional & Reflection Guide” on Amazon> Follow our journey on Instagram: ⁠@FaithInTheWildPodcast⁠> Visit our website: ⁠FaithInTheWildPodcast.com⁠|| ABOUT FAITH IN THE WILD PODCAST ||> Hosted by: ⁠Nicole Moran⁠ and ⁠Angelica McCarthy⁠> Music: “⁠Dialed In” by Afro Bop Alliance Big Band⁠ (comp. ⁠Luis Hernandez⁠, arr.
