Summary
Ever feel like you're just waiting for your purpose to magically appear, fully formed and ready to give your life meaning? The truth is, purpose isn’t something you find—it’s something you create. In this episode, you'll hear how purpose develops over time through small steps driven by what excites you, rather than a grand revelation.
Discover how purpose isn’t a fixed destination—it’s about trusting those flickers of curiosity and interest and making intentional decisions along the way. Tune in to learn how to create your purpose by consistently moving toward what feels meaningful and exciting, even without knowing exactly where it will lead.

| 0:00.0 | Have you ever looked at someone who looks driven and purposeful and on fire and thought, |
| 0:05.0 | I wish I had some of what they're having? I often coach women who feel an inchoate longing |
| 0:10.7 | for something bigger, something more, something with greater meaning. But they aren't sure what that |
| 0:15.9 | is or what it looks like. They want purpose, but they aren't sure how to find it. And they don't know that that's because |
| 0:22.5 | purpose can't be found. In today's episode, I'm going to teach you what purpose is and how you can |
| 0:28.1 | connect to your own purpose so that you can live a more confident, meaningful, and impactful life. |
| 0:35.1 | Welcome to unfuck your brain. I'm your host, Lowenthal, master-certified coach, and founder of the |
| 0:41.6 | School of New Feminist Thub. I'm here to help you turn down your anxiety, turn up your confidence, |
| 0:48.2 | and create a life on your own terms, one that you're truly excited to live. Let's go. |
| 0:56.7 | Hello, my friends. So I know this title was a little bit of a bait and switch, but I promise |

| 1:07.3 | not going to be found the way you think it is. But I want to back up before we get to that |
| 1:12.1 | and talk a little bit about my own purpose and how I got where I am. So I'm going to admit |
| 1:17.1 | something right now that actually feels a little bit scary to admit because even with my |
| 1:22.2 | well-coached brain, it sounds kind of grandiose or like I'm getting above myself, which that's such a weird phrase |
| 1:30.3 | when you think about it. Like if you're being yourself, if you're being authentic, how can you be |
| 1:34.9 | above yourself? What that really means is you're being above the person or station or whatever |
| 1:41.6 | that society or your family or whoever else has decided you should be at. |
| 1:46.9 | And like, why should they get to decide that? So I always want to model radical honesty and |
| 1:52.1 | vulnerability with you all. And I think that some of you listening may actually resonate with |
| 1:55.7 | this. So I'm just going to say it. Looking at me now, you might think I always had this very clear purpose in life. |
| 2:02.6 | I seem very purposeful, very mission driven, really clear on who I am and what I'm doing here in this world. |
