Adam shares a powerful tool for overcoming the fear that can hold us back and destroy our purpose. (DON'T MI...

Today I'm talking to Adam Tallamy, a purpose coach and teacher in London who gave up everything to follow his dream of helping people find their purpose.

Adam shares what it was like for him when he gave up everything follow his intuition. It was hard, but he says it was necessary. Now when he coaches and teaches others, he's doing so out of his own lived experience.

In part 1 of our interview Adam talks about his experie...

We become like the people with whom we spend time. Think about the people who go out and get the newest haircut, the skinny jeans, the blue hair, the nose piercing, the tribal tattoo, or whatever other thing that happens to be "in" at that moment.

And what about the people who go into debt to buy the Rolex watch, the Louis Vuitton handbag, the Christian Loubitan shoes or the Mercedes Benz? It's usually not that we ...

We want the people in our lives to be moral, ethical, kind and loving. We don't love it when people are immoral, unethical, unkind and hateful.

In our culture these values are typically referred to as "Christian values." (To be accurate, these values are Judeo-Christian values.) When people say that they espouse "Christian values," they're saying that they are moral, ethical people. So what's w...

There are five ways that we can know when we're really living in our purpose.

Every one of these measurements will have an ebb and flow throughout our life. What we want to aim for is a balance of all five of these indicators. When one of them is out of whack, it's a really good sign that a course correction has to be made to get yourself back on track.

So what are these indicators?

1. Healthy relationships with good peo...

Have you ever known anyone who seemed to have a "cake and ice cream life," where the worst thing that ever happened to them was getting their hair wet as they walked from the car to the department store? Ya, we've all known someone who seems to have a much better life than we do. They have more money, take better vacations, have "better" families, blahblahblah. Meantime, we're on what seems to be a never...

When we spend the finite time of our lives angry, hurt, or offended, we're missing windows of opportunity that we could be living our purpose and loving our life. When you have the opportunity to take offense, DON'T DO IT.

Every minute you spend with feelings of negativity is a minute that you are not living your purpose. You can never get those minutes back. We each get 1,440 minutes every day. When they're gone,...

You may not feel like a genius, but there is a genius within you. Your genius is your "secret sauce" that equips you to do things that you never went to school to learn. This is the combination of things that adds "super" to your "natural that equips you to live your best life, at your highest level, and fulfill your unique purpose.

When you tap into your genius, you know it because you can feel it. Yo...

For most of us, finding and living our purpose is a process that happens over time. Very few of us know exactly what we were born to do and do that to the exclusion of all else. Most of us sort of wander through life in the job that we were hired for, with the friends we randomly met, living in the place that was affordable, none of it the result of our deliberate choices. Of course, none of that is wrong. But without deliberate ef...

Many of us think we're too old to find and live our purpose because we took a wrong turn. We did too much wrong. We made too many mistakes. We missed the "right" path toward our purpose, and now we're just stuck with this life that's less than what we could have had. If that's you, I want to respectfully tell you that this is wrong thinking! You are still breathing, so you're till in the game of li...

What's God got to do with it?

You can live out some of your purpose without God because you can use your talents, personality, character traits, etc., all of which are there specifically to equip you and qualify you to live your purpose. But when you cooperate with God (the one who planted all those good things in you), you are choosing to add "super" to your "natural" which empowers you to do more than you ...

How do you feel?

Are you exhausted? Or are you energized?

Do you feel empty? Or do you feel exhilarated?

Do you feel like you can't take it another day? Or do you feel like you can't wait to get back to it?

Do you feel alone? Misunderstood? Left out? Or do you feel seen, heard, and understood by people who truly "get you?"

Checking in with yourself to see how you're feeling about your job, your relationships,...

Have you ever had the experience of someone's face lighting up when you walked into a room? When you were little, did anyone's face totally light up into the biggest smile when you walked in? Or have you had the experience of walking into a room to meet angry, frustrated or disgusted expressions? We get our self-esteem from the expressions of the people we care about or those who are in authority over us. Those of us w...

Depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, eating disorders... the list of the things that diminish our sense of wellness, goes on and on.

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America estimates that 264 million people struggle with depression and that 40 million people struggle with anxiety. If you deal with these things, you're not alone.

Mental illness has a deleterious affect on our pe...

Think about your childhood, your teenage years, and all the years up until today. What are the moments that stand out?

What did you accomplish that you didn't think you could? What did you do that came easily to you? What did you celebrate? What did you overhear that you wish you hadn't? What did you go through that you would have done anything to prevent?

As those things come to mind, think about what you learned about y...

We are all influenced by the people around us. They evoke emotions within us, they teach us, they can provoke us, and if we're honest, they can also encourage and empower us or they can lead us down the wrong paths.

Whether we admit it or not or like it or not, we are all influenced by lots of different people and things. We remember what a teacher said, what a friend or family member said to us or about us, the review our boss...

There is A LOT of confusion about success. People on social media who post about their beautiful, amazing, nothing-ever-goes-wrong lives appear to have it all, but do they really? Are they really that shapely? Is that really their car? Is that really a picture of a fabulous vacation in Hawaii or just a fake background they dropped into Zoom and snapped a pic (like my background today 🤣)?

Even if they literally do have a private je...

D's & F's diminish or destroy our purpose. What are we talking about? Doubt, Discouragement, Distraction, Fear, Frustration, and Failure, just to name a few. All of these are threats to our purpose. 

Doubting yourself discounts and diminishes your abilities. Discouragement happens when we don't get the results we expect. Too much discouragement results in depression and feelings of failure. 

Depression steals o...
