Finding your purpose & getting what you ...

About this episode

Alexis is the host of the Do You F*ing Mind podcast, she has a Masters of Neuroscience, and you guys love her!

Seriously, in a recent audience survey we asked you which guests you loved and OVERWHELMINGLY you guys said Alexis, so we brought her back on the podcast to talk about purpose and turning desperation into attraction to get what you want.

In the first part of the episode we talk about purpose: what is it, how to find it, how it should feel in your body when you experience it, and how to find a purpose that serves you but also includes others.

Then in the second half of the episode we talk about one of Alexis’ most popular podcast episodes ‘Turning Desperation Into Attraction’ and Alexis explains how wanting something too much could be the thing that’s pushing it away.
