Many women struggle with the question: What is my purpose? Of course, most of us know that we want to feel loved, successful, make a positive impact, and make enough money to feel satisfied, but we are often left with the following question: how?

This week we mindfully explore your unique purpose and go on a journey through how to move that spark into a thriving business. As women, we often hold ourselves back, but once you do the work to get your life together, little stops your purpose, passion, and ambition from igniting. To help you mindfully avoid the pitfalls of work/life balance, how to start a business, and what you need to be successful, I sat down with Attorney, Creator, and team USA Runner Rachel Brenke, who hands over the foundational steps necessary to get started in any venture, how to create balance along the way, and how to be free of imposter syndrome.  

This next hour gives you the information to get started and how to thrive! So, be prepared to be fired up!

One of the biggest takeaways, at least for me, is that the women that each of us inspire to be isn’t so much about our work ethic, it’s about our impact—the way we serve ourselves, our lives, our family, our communities, businesses, our purpose. As a result, each of us has the power to move into action, to create a legacy, and to do so imperfectly. Because as Rachel said, “Imperfection action is better than no action at all.”

Get started. Build your life through deep intention. Turn the whisper of desire into full-blown greatness.
