Flushing out your "Why" is all about determining in this season what you think your purpose in life is; perhaps we can define it as what brings your joy and personal satisfaction, with a huge CAVEAT of  boundaries. The reason I say boundaries is I have found in my research that it’s really hard to feel like we have a clear purpose if we are doing things we think other people expect of us, or because we happen to get praise for them, or because they are easy/ come naturally. In this episode, I want to challenge the status quo around you having 1 major life “why” where you have some sort of eureka moment that gives you the “answers” and then you just go forth and conquer and everything is peachy or if you deviate or change your mind you have failed. Let's learn and grow together in this episode as we explore and determine how to come to a "why" that best fits our current season. Boundary Section of the Episode: My new favorite boundary expert is a renowned licensed therapist and relationship expert Nedra Glover Tawabb. She has an amazing book on boundaries I highly recommend! She defines boundaries as : “I define boundaries as a verbal communication or an action that you communicate to someone to feel safe, secure, and supported in a relationship” Boundary Setting Book: https://realfoodwholelife.com/feelgoodeffect/setting-healthy-boundaries-nedra-glover-tawwab/
