In this episode of The Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about finding your purpose. My guest this week is Dave Chauhan, author, speaker and former corporate leader who walked away from his established career to pursue a deeper connection with purpose. Dave shares his personal journey of reflection, the signals that told him it was time to make a change and the painful yet transformative process of rediscovering his values.
We explore how purpose often reveals itself in times of discomfort, why courage matters more than certainty and how growth comes not from avoiding pain but from working through it. Dave also opens up about the messy, imperfect reality of pursuing purpose and how identity, values and leadership are all intertwined.
