Chapter 7 – The Purpose-Driven Life: Finding Meaning After the Fire

Description:

What if the emptiness you feel isn’t failure — it’s your soul asking for purpose?

In this chapter of Burn It Down & Begin Again, Erica explores what it really means to live a purpose-driven life after loss, addiction, and rebuilding from the ashes. She shares how rediscovering faith, self-worth, and service gave her direction when everything else fell apart — and how you can do the same.

This episode unpacks:
 ✨ Why so many of us lose our sense of purpose in midlife
 ✨ The link between addiction, depression, and lack of meaning
 ✨ How “The Purpose Driven Life” helped Erica reframe her identity
 ✨ The five principles that bring clarity: gratitude, service, growth, connection, and mission
 ✨ Simple daily steps to reconnect with what truly matters
 ✨ Why purpose doesn’t have to be grand — it just has to be real

If you’ve ever woken up wondering what now?, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that your life still has meaning — and that the smallest acts of love, service, and intention can change everything.
