About this episode

Ever feel like there is something wrong with you because you can't figure out that one great passion that lights your soul on fire? Or do you find yourself feeling directionless and purposeless as you walk in and out of work each day? Well, this week, Kat, (@kat.defatta) is taking us down a road that many drive around in circles inside our heads. She is talking about passion and purpose and how we can confuse them sometimes and also put too much emphasis on one or the other. She also shares her take aways from one of the very best podcasts she has ever listened to. It was an Oprah Super Soul Conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert and she brings in a third contender to the passion & purpose conversation... curiosity. Listen this week to find out why this may just be the secret we have all been looking for in our lives.
