  • Taking a Pause on Purpose
    Aug 2 2025

    No new episode this week... and that’s on purpose.

    I’m pressing pause — not because I’m off track, but because I’m about to take us deeper.

    I’ve been sitting with everything we’ve unpacked this season — purpose, power, calling, clarity — and what’s coming next deserves space, intention, and excellence.

    The Season 1 Finale is in the works, and it's not just another episode — it’s a moment.
    A reset. A reflection. A power move.

    If you’ve been here since Episode 1 (or you’re just getting caught up), I promise what’s coming will shift something in you.


    Until then, take this week to:
    *Revisit past episodes
    *Journal what’s been stirring in you
    *Stay close — the finale drops next week


    You ready?
