111: Shattering the Purpose Myth for Asian-American Leaders

School of Self-Worth

Have you ever asked yourself what your purpose is….and came up empty-handed? And then wondered how on earth you ever were going to figure out what your purpose really is?

I’ve been asked this question more times than I can count. So in this episode, I reveal the biggest mistake most Asian-American women are making about purpose.

And then I also share exactly what purpose looks like after you shatter the purpose myth.

For most Asian-American women, understanding of purpose is most often rooted in cultural conditioning. And I go over why it’s so essential to break away from those learned patterns, to stop limiting what purpose is, and the exact steps to explore how to really show up and live a purposeful life.

This is a layered conversation I typically reserve for my clients, so make sure to tune in!
