Summary
In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore what it means to experience a crisis of purpose as you awaken. Join me for a discussion of:
- what is a crisis of purpose? how do you know if you're going through one?
- how waking up spiritually can make us realize we're not in alignment with our true purpose
- how your tolerance for mis-alignment and lack of fulfillment goes down the more you awaken
- my own crisis of purpose that led me to quit academia to start doing spiritual work
- practices to begin connecting with your true, Soul-level purpose
Throughout the episode, I mention my upcoming course - Journey to the Center of Yourself: Discover Your True Purpose. To explore the course details, click below:

| 0:22.8 | I'm honored that you're here and happy to serve as a guide and companion on your path for a little while. |
| 0:30.2 | To learn more about how to work with me one-on-one or through my courses, please visit josephinehartman.com. |
| 0:46.4 | Hello and welcome to a new episode of Inner Work. |
| 0:50.9 | I'm so glad you're here, and I want to make just a quick announcement so that we can |
| 0:57.1 | celebrate this together. This month, which is, let's see, November 22, the podcast is on |
| 1:06.0 | track to surpass 100,000 downloads in just one month. So when I first started this podcast, I was getting |
| 1:16.3 | maybe 20 downloads per month. Mostly it was my mom, my dad, a few friends tuning in here and |
| 1:24.6 | there, myself tuning in, so I was one of the downloads, which doesn't count. |
| 1:30.4 | So bless all of those people for supporting me from the very beginning. |
| 1:36.8 | I could never have imagined this outcome, this much growth, and it would never have happened |
| 1:43.2 | without you. My dear listener, |
| 1:46.2 | you tuning in, subscribing to the podcast, downloading these episodes, that's what the numbers |
| 1:53.6 | reflect, and this whole endeavor truly wouldn't exist without your presence. So thank you for contributing in such an important |
| 2:04.4 | way and for continuing to show up to spend time with me here. My heart is very grateful. |
| 2:14.2 | And now on to the episode. |

| 2:37.2 | I want to be clear about the terms I'm using today, as always. So let's start with this concept or idea of a crisis of purpose. Let's unravel that a little bit. What does that mean? |
| 2:45.4 | It might seem obvious, but I still want to be clear about the terms. So basically, on the path of awakening, |
| 2:53.7 | many of us often have the experience at some point of realizing all the ways in which our |
| 3:00.5 | lives are not serving us, or the things in our lives that aren't working for us anymore. |
| 3:10.1 | This could include relationships, friendships, friendships, certain patterns or habits or behaviors that we've been doing for a long time. |
