Katie Farinas
About this episode

Hello My Friends!

Welcome back to another minisode of Mom on the Verge. This week, I'm diving into the profound connection between discovering your purpose, known as Dharma, and the transformative power of service. As we head into the busy holiday season, it's a perfect time to reflect on the importance of giving—not just for others, but for ourselves. Service is a portal to experiencing deeper feelings of joy, gratitude, and love. When we embrace our authentic selves and serve in alignment with our soul’s purpose, we uplift our lives and the world around us.

In this episode, I share practical steps for uncovering your Dharma, including essential questions like: Who do I want to serve? How do I want to serve? and How do I want the people I serve to feel? I also discuss letting go of external influences—from cultural norms to societal expectations—to truly align with your inner calling.

I explore how expressing your Dharma can take many forms: educating, caretaking, advocating for causes you’re passionate about, or nurturing conscious communities. Whether it’s helping at a nonprofit, caring for animals, or supporting environmental efforts, the ways to serve and fulfill your purpose are endless.

I also offer insights into why service isn't just a selfless act but a source of personal fulfillment. When we step into our Dharma, we open ourselves to authentic expression, internal peace, and a deep sense of satisfaction. I encourage you to take some time this week to think about your passions and how they can serve the world around you.
