On Purpose. is a deeply personal reflection on living with intention inside the unpredictable world of college athletics.What began as a podcast centered on intentional living evolved into something more honest this year — a space to acknowledge the realities of life as part of a college coaching family. In this solo episode, I reflect on why the most-listened-to conversations of the year came from a series with coaches’ wives, and why embracing that part of my own story became unavoidable.Through lived experience — job loss, uncertainty, answered prayers, constant transition, and quiet resilience — this episode explores the lessons college athletics has taught me both as a participant and an observer. From redefining control, choosing discomfort, and learning when not to react, to reshaping the meaning of home, forgiveness through hindsight, and practicing gratitude in a profession that gives as much as it takes.This episode also dives deeply into faith — how prayer became an anchor during seasons of loss and confusion, and how clarity and peace often arrive in ways we never expect.This conversation is for:Coaches’ spouses and familiesAnyone navigating change, instability, or identity shiftsThose learning to live intentionally through hard seasonsAnyone searching for perspective beyond headlines and outcomesAt its core, this episode is about choosing the hard things — on purpose — and recognizing that the lessons learned off the court often matter most.Sponsored by BluApple: https://thebluapple.com?sca_ref=8837292.HZGjjNgCncCode: Brandi15
