What happens when your world is turned upside down? How do you navigate career, identity, purpose, and success in the face of life-altering events?

In part two of "Finding Your Purpose: When Things Fall Apart," Alex shares personal insights and advice on these tough questions and works through some challenges.

Remember, things aren't always as they seem - it's easy to look at someone from afar and think they have it all figured out, but we all face our own struggles and challenges. These conversations are meant to be a catalyst for growth and healing, so it's okay to give yourself grace and take things one step at a time.

Join us as we discuss how to find positivity and meaning in difficult situations and how to continue to work on ourselves to become the best version of ourselves.
