You keep waiting for the sign.
The voice.
The “aha” moment.
That divine stamp of clarity that finally says, Yes, this is it.

But what if you don’t find purpose?
What if you remember it?

In today’s episode of Daily Power Boost, we’re pulling back the veil on the great purpose myth, the belief that purpose lives “out there” somewhere, waiting to be discovered.

The truth?

You’re not missing your calling.
You’ve just been taught to look in the wrong places.

Purpose isn’t performance.
It’s permission.

When you align with your true identity; beneath the people-pleasing, the perfectionism, the proving; you stop chasing and start embodying. You stop performing your mission and finally inhabit it.

This episode is a call back to center.
Not to hustle harder for your why…
But to trust that it’s already encoded in who you are.

In This Episode:

Why most high achievers confuse purpose with productivity
The moment I stopped waiting for permission
The 3 truths that unlock identity-aligned purpose
A call to release the “lost purpose” narrative for good
