96. Why Me? Why Now? Affirmation for Purpose When You Feel Lost in a Transitional Season

Feeling lost in the midst of an unexpected life transition? In this episode of the Mindful Life Changes podcast, host Valerie Mekki shares her personal journey of discovering purpose while caring for aging parents. Whether you're facing a career disruption, navigating family responsibilities, or experiencing relationship changes, this episode offers a compassionate framework for finding meaning in life's unplanned detours.

Through exploring powerful questions like "Why me?", "Why now?", and "Should I be doing something else?", Valerie guides you to reframe these challenges as purposeful seasons rather than unwelcome interruptions. You'll learn how to honor your current circumstances while maintaining your long-term dreams and visions. The episode culminates in a calming affirmation practice that helps you internalize the powerful truth: "I trust I am exactly where I am meant to be and embrace my purpose for this season."

If you're questioning your path or feeling derailed by life's unexpected turns, this mindful exploration will help you find peace, clarity, and renewed purpose exactly where you're planted.

Formerly known as the "Mindful Career Change Podcast," I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.
