  • This week’s "How She Finds Purpose" insight comes from Lida Lida Citroën. She says –

    "So my advice: take a chance. Take a chance. We have to have the courage to speak up and take a chance. Will people judge us? Yes. But that's human nature. They'll judge us even if we don't speak up. Does it make us feel vulnerable? Absolutely. And we gotta work through that because the world doesn't get better if we don't get our voice out there."

    Lida Lida Citroën is the author of The New Rules of Influence: How to Authentically Build Trust, Drive Change, and Make an Impact. She’s an executive coach, personal branding consultant, and reputation management expert.

    Lida works with leaders in over 30 countries, helping them clarify who they are and position themselves for success in high-stakes environments. Her career journey includes a bold pivot from corporate branding to starting her own company, a move that reconnected her to her purpose. Today, she also serves military veterans transitioning into civilian careers, a calling that she embraced after an unforgettable moment at a football game.

    Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

    Discover the power of courage to claim your voice—even if it feels vulnerable or risky—and why speaking up is essential to creating a better world.

    Learn how to realign your career with purpose through Lida’s personal story of leaving a "check-the-box" life and building a business she truly loves.

    Get practical insights on building influence authentically and breaking away from rigid definitions of what leadership is "supposed" to look like.

  • This week’s How She Finds Purpose insight comes from a belief I hold close:

    “True purpose isn't about a specific job, a specific title, or career. It's not something you find out there. Purpose is about being true to your authentic self. It's about knowing who you are at your core and expressing that truth through the decisions you make, the work you do, and the life you live."

    In this solo episode, I share a personal story about how witnessing my mother’s unfulfilled dreams shaped a lifelong promise to pursue work that aligns with purpose.

    That restless search for meaning—so familiar to many high-achieving women—led to a liberating realization. Purpose isn’t tied to a job title or career path. Instead, it comes from staying true to who we are at our core.

    Here are 3 reasons to tune in:

    Discover why purpose isn’t something to “find” and what that shift in thinking could mean for your life and work.

    Find out why so many high-achieving women feel unfulfilled, even with success, and how external expectations can get in the way.

    Learn about the PurposeMAKER Method, a practical framework I developed to help women reconnect with their true selves and make decisions that align with what matters most.

    If there’s been a nagging feeling that something is missing—or a quiet sense that you’re meant for more—this episode offers encouragement and clarity for taking the next small step toward living in alignment with your authentic self.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say:

    "When we release what's no longer working, we create space for new opportunities. And that's the only way it happens. So when we release what's no longer working, we create space for new opportunities, new ways of thinking, being, and living. Ways that are in alignment with our authentic selves."

    In this solo episode, I reflect on the significance of New Year’s Day—not just as the start of the calendar year, but as a meaningful moment for personal growth and transformation.

    I share a heartfelt memory of my family’s New Year’s traditions and dive into how we can use this time to release what no longer serves us, align with our authentic selves, and create space for new opportunities.

    Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

    Learn why letting go of what’s no longer working is essential for creating space for growth and alignment.

    Discover a practical exercise to focus on one area of your life and take meaningful steps toward transformation.

    Be inspired to make small, intentional shifts that bring you closer to living as your true self.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Jadou. She says:

    "In the name of finding your purpose, there's just something that just keeps on going where you're like, I can't let go. I need to pursue, I need to continue the research.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say:

    “True purpose, deep meaning, and profound fulfillment come from living in alignment with your authentic self, expressed through your passions, your values, your natural abilities, in service to someone, or something, beyond yourself.”

    In this solo episode, I’m sharing a page from my upcoming book, Becoming a PurposeMAKER, and diving into a topic that’s close to my heart: the myths about true purpose that may be holding you back. For years, I believed purpose was tied to my job, a title, or some external milestone. But after more than 20 years of ups and downs, I’ve discovered that true purpose is so much more than that—and it’s not something “out there” waiting to be found.

    Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

    Learn why purpose isn’t a singular destination and how to embrace purpose as an ongoing journey.

    Discover why external achievements can never fully define your sense of meaning and fulfillment.

    Explore 4 key questions to reflect on as you start aligning with your authentic self.

    If you’ve ever wondered if you’re chasing the wrong idea of purpose, this episode is for you. Let’s break down those misconceptions and start living a life that truly reflects who you are.

Before publishing her book, Jessica built a successful 15-year corporate career in tech and management consulting, working with world-renowned companies like Apple, Bain, and Siemens.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say:

    “If you're afraid to start something new or make a career transition, know that it's okay to start afraid. Do it afraid. Just start. Do something, and it will get you on your way.”

    I’m celebrating the 200th episode of Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, and kicking off season 5 with a renewed focus on the stories of high-achieving women who’ve made bold career transitions in pursuit of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. Whether you’re just beginning your career, in the midst of a pivot, or considering a late-career shift, this season is here to encourage and inspire your journey toward work that aligns with who you are.

    If you’re ready to embrace your own journey of purpose, I hope this episode brings you the inspiration to keep moving, keep learning, and keep showing up, even if it means doing it afraid.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Christina Woods. She says –

    “Follow your intuition. But you have to have boundaries to follow your intuition. So what I mean by that is if you are cluttered with chaos, you cannot tune into your intuition. So having boundaries, self-care, a little quiet space, practice to allow yourself to let what you hear move through your heart and not your head. Your head doesn’t have a lot of answers. As high achieving women, we tend to think, let me sound smart. Okay? No. The answers come through your intuition, your inner compass. You have known your whole life what feels right and aligned, and your wisdom will guide you.”

    Christina Woods is an internationally recognized clinical hypnotherapist who helps smart, spiritually open women tap into their inner strength and wisdom. She empowers them to set healthy boundaries and build purpose-driven, fulfilling lives. In this episode, Christina shares her personal journey, from being a high-powered corporate VP to finding alignment with her true purpose through hypnotherapy and energy healing. She also explains how hypnotherapy can help women shed limiting beliefs and reconnect with their intuition to create lasting change.

    Learn how to quiet the noise of daily life so you can hear your intuition and make decisions that align with your values.

  • This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Else Johnson. She says -

    “I think fundamentally, the first thing that she has to do is accept the fact that she deserves it. So many women, especially high achieving women that I speak with, they're like, yeah. But I should be grateful for what I have. Look at what I've achieved. It's amazing. But it's okay to admit to yourself and the world that it's not enough for you. Nothing you do will feel meaningful if you don't believe you deserve it.”

    Else Johnson is a mindset expert and speaker who helps high-achieving executives and entrepreneurs get back on track and reignite the passions they once had so they can experience more purpose and fulfillment in their businesses and lives. Else understands that highly driven leaders often feel they're not fulfilling their highest potential, and she is committed to changing that through her business, Else Johnson Coaching and Consulting, LLC.
