MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Purpose is supposed to bring clarity. So why does it sometimes feel so heavy?
This month, we're exploring the idea of purpose, and we're starting with a trap that many high-achieving women fall into without even realizing it: when purpose stops serving as a compass and starts becoming a measuring stick.
In this episode, we're unpacking what happens when meaningful work quietly turns into internal pressure—and why rest alone doesn't fix the exhaustion that comes from constantly feeling like you haven't done enough.
Together, we explore:
- the difference between burnout and demoralization
- how purpose can shift from inspiration to an internal audit system
- why high-achievers often tie their identity to their work
- the concept of liminality and why so many women feel stuck in the "almost there" season
- how assignments, calling, and identity are different
- why ordinary days can feel strangely uncomfortable
- and four powerful reflection questions to help you reconnect with purpose without letting it define your worth
One of my favorite ideas from this episode is that purpose should function as a compass, and not a scorecard.
Because when every day becomes a test of whether you've done enough, even meaningful work can become exhausting.
Maybe the invitation isn't to care less.
Maybe it's to build a life where your purpose has a place, but it isn't the only place you find yourself.
