Summary

In this episode, Krista breaks down the biggest myths around “finding your purpose,” revealing why your pain + personal journey—not your talents—may be the true key to fulfillment. Get ready for raw stories from Krista, spiritual insight, and new motivation to step into your most powerful self. Are you feeling restless, misaligned at your corporate job, or haunted by the question, “Am I living the life I was meant for?” Krista shares her unfiltered journey from corporate burnout to podcasting powerhouse, giving you the inside look at how her struggles + wounds became her greatest gifts. Plus, Krista explains the ancient concept of Dharma, rock-bottom awakenings, and why 2026–2027 will be pivotal years for women ready to answer their soul’s calling. If you’ve been searching for meaning, this conversation is the wake-up call you’ve been waiting for. We also talk about: Why your deepest wounds are the doorway to your true purpose The role of Dharma in modern spiritual growth How to let go of shame + use your story to inspire others Lessons from missing out on big opportunities—and why they matter The pressure + promise of the 2026 “alignment year” for soul-led women How to recognize if you’re a “chosen one” (and what that actually means) Shifting from ego-led ambition to soul-driven contribution The connection between personal healing + genuine leadership Inner child work as a tool to rediscover your essence The reason hiding your gifts will only get harder in the years to come Resources: Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Join Metamorphosis, Krista’s six-week small group immersion for women ready to transform from the inside out.

0:00.0	You are now tuned into almost 30 podcast, and I am grateful that you're here.
0:18.3	If you are new to almost 30, we've been doing this for like 10 years now.
0:22.5	Almost 10 years. In September of 2026, we will have been doing almost 30 for 10 years.
0:27.4	So when I first started this, I was almost 30. And so that was 10 years ago. So I'm almost 30 for a long time of my life.
0:34.3	It's a very long, almost 30 journey. I'm still almost 30. It's crazy how this
0:38.6	thing kind of works. I'm forever 28, we'll say. And my name is Krista Williams, and I'm so glad to be
0:46.1	with you. I'm so glad to do a solo episode together, us in the car, us on this walk, us joining

1:22.8	so many of you want to find and be in your purpose. You want to feel like you are here for a reason,
1:29.3	like you know you're made for more, and you know that your soul came here to fulfill something.
1:35.4	You want to feel like your life has meaning and that there's something bigger leading you
1:40.2	and that there's, you know, a reason for everything that's ever happened to you. I think most of our
1:46.2	audience struggles with purpose at various points in their life and feeling like their life has no
1:51.2	purpose or they have no purpose. I know for me that was one of the biggest things that caused me so
1:56.5	much pain in my life was feeling like I didn't have a purpose and feeling like there was a purpose
2:01.6	that I wanted to have or my life had to be on some track or I had to be doing something to
2:06.2	feel like I had purpose. And just a little side note for a second. If you're watching on
