Discovering the Power of Your Child’s Purpose

The SonRise Project creator, Kelli Richardson Lawson introduces veteran speaker and master coach, Sylvia High. She’s an author, a healer and a specialist in transformation. In this episode, Sylvia talks about how to support teens and young adults in finding their purpose. While that alone can be a daunting task, she asks parents to reflect on when they discovered their own purpose. She says while some people know from an early age they want to be an artist, a singer or a doctor, for many that’s not the case. She says most people discover it, “Oh, this is my purpose. Or that is my purpose. Or I thought my purpose was here, but it's not after all.” She says if we're not careful, our purpose becomes looking for our purpose. To avoid that trap, Sylvia says we must shift our mindset and realize it’s not about discovering a thing that “we do,” it’s discovering “who we are meant to be.”
