This week, I’m diving into something I know so many of us wrestle with—the tension between pursuing purpose and chasing financial security. AKA: The Purpose-Money Paradox.
I’m sharing what it looked like for me to hit that wall—building a career that looked “right” but felt so far from who I was. I talk about the pressure to follow the safe path, and how tuning into my inner voice changed everything.
We get into: 💸 Why society wires us to choose money over meaning 🎙️ How to reconnect with your voice when you’ve been silencing it for years 🧠 Using stoic principles to move through procrastination, fear, and self-doubt 🌱 The power of intentional pauses, environmental shifts, and embracing discomfort (yes, on purpose)
If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t afford to follow my purpose,” or you’ve put off the thing that lights you up because it doesn’t feel “secure,” this episode is for you.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. But you do need to start listening inward—and trusting what you hear.
