| 0:05.6 | Life Mentoring School podcast. We are so glad you're here. We specialize in helping high achieving |
| 0:11.6 | passionate women uncover their extraordinary God-given gifts. Welcome to the podcast. Let's dive in. |
| 0:19.0 | I am going to chat with you today about something that is |
| 0:23.5 | super important to me and something that I have struggled with for a long time. I finally feel like |
| 0:29.7 | I understand this topic on a level that has really helped me create so many things in my life |
| 0:35.3 | that I love. But today we're going to talk about when you're struggling with purpose, when you're |
