Finding Purpose in Uncertain Times | ES213

Have you ever asked yourself, What is this all for?
With everything happening in the world—the chaos, division, and uncertainty—it’s easy to feel lost, disconnected, or even hopeless. But what if purpose isn’t something we have to chase?
What if it’s something we can create in our daily lives, in the small, meaningful moments?
In this episode, I share personal reflections on purpose, why so many of us struggle to find it, and simple ways to reconnect with what truly matters. Whether you're at a crossroads or just feeling a little stuck, this conversation is here to remind you—you do have a purpose, and it might be closer than you think.
Let’s explore this together.
