ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Are you chasing success but still feeling unfulfilled?
In this episode of Willow Healing Matters, Catherine Crestani sits down with entrepreneur, author and speaker Rand Selig, author of Thriving!, to explore what it truly means to create a healthier, happier and more meaningful life.
Together they unpack why purpose isn’t something you discover—it is something you consciously create. They discuss authenticity, self-sabotage, happiness versus joy, letting go of what no longer serves you, and how small shifts in mindset can completely transform your life.
Whether you’re navigating burnout, searching for purpose, building a business, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers practical wisdom for creating a life that feels aligned from the inside out.
✨ In this episode we discuss:
• Why purpose is created—not found• Happiness vs joy (and why the difference matters)• How to stop self-sabotaging yourself• Letting go of control without giving up• Authenticity and living in alignment• Designing your own life instead of living on autopilot• The words we use that shape our reality• Building healthier relationships• Reinventing yourself throughout life• Choosing courage over fear
