CARRIE GREEN
About this episode

Purpose anxiety...I’m talking about that pressure to find your purpose, to have everything figured out, to know exactly what you’re meant to be doing on this earth and to achieve amazing things. 

So how do we live amazing lives, without pushing so hard that we miss all the beauty along the way?

This is what I want to share with you in this episode:

05:41 Questioning the Dream: What's Next After Success?

08:35 Living in the Present vs. Chasing Dreams

12:01 Gratitude: A Key to Living in the Moment

13:23 Redefining Purpose: Experience Over Achievement

17:46 My Final Thoughts on Purpose and Living the Dream
