#296 You’re Already Building a Legacy—But Is It Aligned with Your Purpose?

Hey Friend!

Today’s episode is a heart-stirring one. We’re talking about legacy—not just what you’ll leave behind when you’re gone, but how you're showing up right now. I share some personal reflections, a powerful story about Chadwick Boseman (yes, Black Panther himself!), and a model you can use today to start living a life that truly matters.

Whether you’re in a season of wondering what’s next or you’re already building something beautiful and just need clarity on where it’s headed—this episode is for you.

Let’s stop building monuments and start making ripples. 💛

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Monuments fade, but ripples live on. A life of intention leaves a lasting impact far beyond material success or recognition. Legacy isn’t someday. You are already creating one—make sure it aligns with what truly matters to you.
• Use the LEGACY framework to intentionally build a life that inspires, uplifts, and impacts others.
• Chadwick Boseman didn’t wait—he lived with urgency, purpose, and generosity even while privately battling cancer.
• You don’t need a platform or a following to make a difference—your everyday moments matter more than you realize.

 

The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:

➡️ The LEGACY framework—a powerful model that shows you how to turn your values and life story into meaningful impact, starting today.

💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:

Pick one area of your life—your work, your family, your community—and ask:

“What’s one intentional action I can take this week to start living my legacy?”

Don’t overthink it. Send a kind text. Volunteer an hour. Share your story. Mentor someone. The ripple starts with you.

Journal Prompt for Reflection:

"What do I want people to say about me when I’m gone—and what needs to change now to make that true?"
