Boomer Banter is back with another encouraging episode where we unpack the idea of ‘purpose’ in our lives.

Wendy Green, dives deep into why so many of us feel like we’re wandering around aimlessly, trying to find that elusive ‘why’ for getting up in the morning. She flips the script on purpose, suggesting that it’s not about hunting it down like a treasure map; instead, it’s about sitting back and letting it come to us.

Wendy shares her own life experiences—like the time she stood up for her son at school and how that led her to realize her knack for advocacy and encouragement. She also reflects on how her professional journey has shaped her understanding of purpose, moving from a corporate ladder-climber to a passionate coach and community builder. Throughout the episode, Wendy reminds us that purpose is often revealed in the little nudges and moments of inspiration that we encounter in our daily lives.

So, if you’re feeling confused about the idea of purpose, join Wendy as she shares how to tune into what really matters and let your purpose find you!

Takeaways:

• Purpose isn't some elusive treasure we must dig for; it finds us when we listen to the invitations.
• Listening to those little nudges in life is key, like when your gut tells you to take that one path, even if it's not the popular choice.
• It's okay to feel lost about your purpose; most of us haven't been handed a map, just a series of moments that guide us along the way.
• When you find yourself feeling most alive, that's often a hint that you're on the right path towards your purpose, so pay attention!
• Remember, your purpose can manifest in many forms, from advocating for your kids to nurturing a garden, so embrace all of it!
