Is there one universal meaning of life, or a purpose we each get to choose and create for ourselves? In this profound conversation with author James Bailey, we explore the answers he gathered from asking 100 people—from Jane Goodall to Holocaust survivors—the biggest question of all. We dive into the difference between meaning and purpose, how our definition evolves through life's challenges, and the powerful choice we all have to find hope, spread love, and assign a beautiful meaning to our own existence.   Have questions about The Angel Membership or Angel Reiki School?Book a free Discovery Call with Julie: https://calendly.com/juliejancius/discovery-call   Angel Reiki School (Online)Starts the 1st of every monthLearn from anywhere: https://theangelmedium.com/get-certified   Book a 1-on-1 Angel Reading With JulieConnect with your angels and loved ones in Heaven: https://theangelmedium.com/readings   Want a Free Reading?We’re selecting 50+ volunteers for free readings at the in-person Angel Reiki School.Leave a 5-star review of the podcast and copy/paste it here for a chance to win: https://theangelmedium.com/contact   Episode Highlights:   The concept that we can assign meaning to our lives by finding a personal purpose, much like investing meaning into a game.
