Small Actions, Big Ripples: Recommit To Your Purpose - Episode 113

Every time we hit record on this podcast, there’s always that half hour before—the raw, unfiltered conversation—that feels like the best part. This time, it was about seasons changing, kids heading back to school, routines shifting, businesses rolling into budget season, and all of us feeling that turbulence. In the middle of that swirl, we started talking about purpose, fear, and what it means to actually go for it—not just coasting through life, but making real choices that align with who we are.

From dropping kids off at college to holding doors for strangers, this episode digs into the little and big ways we can recommit, realign, and move with intention as the year winds down.
 
Five Key Insights:

1. The season shift is a reset button. As routines change with back-to-school and fall approaching, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and recommit to what matters most.
2. Fear doesn’t have to control you. Like your son transferring colleges, making bold moves requires courage—not the absence of fear, but the refusal to let fear dictate the outcome.
3. Misalignment drains purpose. Social media and the grind can push us off track, but when we chase things that don’t align with who we are, fulfillment disappears. Realignment brings energy back.
4. Your purpose is about impact. Purpose isn’t just what you do—it’s what happens in others because of what you do. And in turn, that outward focus fuels your own fulfillment.
5. Small actions shape culture. Holding doors, smiling at neighbors, saying hello—these simple choices ripple outward. Every interaction is a chance to build a world that feels more connected.

One Truth
You’re never stuck—every season brings the chance to realign with your purpose and choose the life you want to live.
