In this episode, Victor Strecher discusses purposeful living and strategies to align your values and actions. Vic shares his imperfect journey back to meaning and to living for what matters most after losing his daughter. He explores what it means to be purposeful versus just having a purpose, how energy and vitality play a role in living out our values, and why purpose isn’t just for the privileged.

For the first time in over three years, I’ve got a couple open spots in my coaching practice. If you’re a thoughtful business owner, creator, or leader feeling stuck in scattered progress or simmering self-doubt, this might be the right moment. Through my Aligned Progress Method, I help people move toward real momentum with clarity, focus, and trust in themselves. If that speaks to where you are, you can learn more at oneyoufeed.net/align.


Key Takeaways:

  • The significance of purpose in life and its impact on well-being.
  • Personal experiences of loss and grief, particularly the impact of losing a loved one on understanding purpose.
  • The distinction between values, purpose, and meaning, and how they interconnect.
  • The role of energy and vitality in living a purposeful life, including factors like sleep, mindfulness, and nutrition.
  • The concept of mortality salience and its influence on identifying core values and priorities.
  • Practical methods for discovering and articulating one’s purpose, such as the headstone test.
  • The accessibility of purpose for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status.
  • The relationship between purpose and happiness
