Introducing: Pursuing Purpose (+ Happy New Year!!) 🥳
Published 3 months ago • 2 min read
Happy New Year, Reader!
​ I'd like to officially introduce you to my new newsletter, Pursing Purpose. Some weekly insight to fuel your inner fire to build an aligned, purpose-driven business.
​ What inspired me to switch things up after 10 years? Well, 2025 is the start of an entirely new chapter for me (Spoiler: I’m sharing a really big life update in this week’s podcast episode—don’t miss it!).
​ ​And it felt like the perfect time to create a dynamic newsletter with personal stories, mindful tips, fresh podcast episodes, and more. All to guide you in consciously doing what you love for a living.
​ If you’re here for it, great—let’s ride the waves of this year together. I can’t wait to support you.
​ What You Can Expect Today (in 5 Minutes or Less):
​ 👉 A reflective prompt to help you connect with your purpose and intentions for the year.
👉 A simple, actionable tip to move you forward with clarity and alignment.
👉 Inspiration from two new podcast episodes (one solo + an interview with Jesse Israel), both with juicy stories.
This Week’s Reflection:
​ As we begin the new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to "hit the ground running," set big goals, and change everything at once. But what if this year, instead of forcing a new version of yourself, you simply allowed space to breathe and reflect on what feels true for you right now?
​ Take a moment to ask yourself: What does living in alignment with my purpose look like this year?
​ Maybe it’s setting boundaries that protect your energy, carving out more time for things that bring you peace, or gently stepping into the things that light you up. Whatever it is, let it feel like a choice rooted in your own rhythm—not a checklist to rush through.
Actionable Tip: Start Small, Stay Aligned
​ Building a purpose-driven business is a gradual process—there’s no need to overhaul everything overnight. This week, I encourage you to take one small, aligned step toward what matters most to you.
​ Maybe it’s: ​
✨ Setting aside a quiet moment each morning to reconnect with your vision for the year, even if it’s just for 5 minutes.
✨ Choosing one small action that propels your purpose work forward—whether that’s mapping out your content for the week or pitching yourself to be a guest on a podcast
​ As Atomic Habits reminds us, the key to reaching any goal isn’t about the big leaps; it’s about the habits you form along the way. Focus on becoming the kind of person who consistently takes small actions, and the goals will follow.
