PURPOSESCAPING with Amanda Miller Littlejohn

Welcome to this special PURPOSESCAPING mini episode.

When I was in middle school, I discovered I had a gift for putting feelings into words. I would write poems that captured the emotional experiences of myself and my peers. I'd write about our joys, our heartbreaks, our quiet struggles. Years later, a healer told me that I had the spiritual gift of intercession.

In this episode, I revisit one of the most impactful articles I’ve ever written — 7 Ways You Keep Yourself From Your Calling — with fresh eyes and 11 more years of coaching and life under my belt.

I break down the common mental blocks and limiting beliefs I see time and again with my clients and community — from waiting on permission to downplaying your unique brilliance — and I share the mindset shifts you mus...

Episode Summary:

Feeling stuck? You’re not alone. In this episode of Purposescaping, I’m diving into something we all face from time to time — a lack of motivation. Whether it’s due to burnout, overwhelm, or just feeling off, getting back into motion can feel like an uphill battle.

But momentum doesn’t have to come from a lightning bolt of inspiration — sometimes, it’s built one small step at a time. I’m sharing three practical str...

I’m back! In this comeback episode of Purposescaping, I’m sharing what life looks like for me right now in this season of transition. I just dropped my firstborn off at college, I’ve got a high school senior starting the college application process, and my youngest is beginning pre-K at a language immersion school. It feels like endings and beginnings are colliding all at once, and I’ll be honest—it’s a lot.

The Regrets of the Dying, the Machine Mindset, and Remembering What Really Matters

You’ve probably seen the lists — The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying.

Regrets like:

Episode Summary:

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that came into focus during a recent trip to NYC. Over the course of 36 hours, I had three major visibility opportunities—two were amazing, and one totally flopped. But instead of spiraling over the one that didn’t land, I felt grounded. Why? Because I had volume on my side.

When you stack opportunities, no single one has the power to derail your confidence. We ...

This time last year, I was turning in the first draft of my manuscript for The Rest Revolution. 

While I still had many edits and revisions ahead, submitting the manuscript marked a turning point. It punctuated a season of deep personal and spiritual obedience.

Just three years earlier, I’d gotten honest with myself about what was missing in my life. I had a gnawing sense that I wasn’t sharing enough of my own words, my voice, my t...
