My Journey to Purpose

Like many, I thought success and purpose meant college, career, and achievement. I thought that following this prescribed path would lead me to achieve everything I could hope for and find fulfillment. However, all too often, this instilled formula takes us further and further away from our authentic selves, leaving us discouraged and lacking the clarity of what enables us to thrive. My shift from this mindset happened after a significant career change I had spent 20 years in, an unexpected divorce, and finding myself farther from my faith than I had ever been.

After getting over my initial grief and confusion, I realized that what appeared to be a setback was actually an opportunity to reflect on who I was, what experiences brought me joy, and when I felt aligned with my gifts and purpose. Taking the time and opportunity to do this helped me realize that my greatest passion and joy came while working through change and helping others, even teams, achieve transformational growth.

Further exploring this path led me to a deeper understanding of myself, healing, nurturing my gifting, and stepping into my purpose in coaching, teaching, speaking, and training. Through this experience of returning to faith, receiving grace, and transforming myself and my approach to life, my reflective journal, “Designed for Purpose: Discovering God's Daily Direction,” was born. In this book, I explore how we are each individually crafted for something more than our daily motions and routines and discuss how God desires us to know his good plan for our lives.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,”

-Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
