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?
