In this episode, we explore what it means to grow into the person you were created to be. In a world obsessed with metrics like pounds lost, dollars earned, likes counted, It’s easy to forget that your true impact can’t be measured. This episode unpacks the truth that your purpose, impact, and identity were never meant to be measured in metrics. They were meant to be lived. It’s time to shift our focus from outcomes to what truly matters: the process, the purpose, and the person we’re becoming.
