What happens when the path you're told to take isn't the one you're meant for? In this moving episode, we explore how purpose often grows from pain—and how life's unexpected detours can still lead to meaningful destinations.
Our guest shares how, despite being discouraged from pursuing a career in nursing by her stepmother—a nurse herself—she pivoted to business administration and entered the corporate world. But the desire to make a difference never left her. That inner calling began to manifest in unexpected, powerful ways.
We dive into childhood loss, the longing to heal, and a touching childhood prayer—one where she asked for her mother to be happy and for her own life to have purpose. It's a moment that struck a deep chord, especially as we reflect on how early grief shapes who we become.
If you've ever wondered how to turn pain into purpose—or how unfulfilled dreams can still lead to impact—this episode is for you.
