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. And even though this is painful, I still need to go and dig and dig and dig to find my own answers. That's what seeking purpose really is. But it's not pretty. It's not cute. It's not for the weak. You gotta be relentless."

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.

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.
In this special episode, I reflect on the three biggest lessons I’ve learned over the past 200 episodes. These aren’t just podcasting tips, they’re life lessons for anyone who feels the pull to create a more meaningful career. Here’s what I’ve discovered along the way:

You’ll learn how to take action, even when fear tries to hold you back.
You’ll discover the value of asking for, and accepting, help as you pursue your purpose.

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.
Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:
Learn how to quiet the noise of daily life so you can hear your intuition and make decisions that align with your values.
Discover why high achieving women often struggle with imposter syndrome and how hypnotherapy can help resolve it.
Find out how Christina transitioned from a corporate career to a fulfilling life of purpose and service, and what lessons you can apply to your own journey.

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.
Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:
You’ll hear how life’s transitions, both big and small, can carry hidden lessons and opportunities for growth.

And then also thinking about the higher purpose. Who or what do you want to help in this world and how you can do that and contribute to that? Looking at what you do now and how you can take those skills and transfer them to how you can help others.”

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Diana Daniele. She says -
We are helping others and that our words are like pearls to them.
“There's a danger with everyone turning to you where you feel like you're giving, giving, giving, and you're kind of giving yourself away and that you don't have any time just for you because people are kind of knocking down your door, and you have to figure out your own path. But I think if we women see that when someone's turning to us, that that is empowering and that we are helping others and that our words are like pearls to them and they are holding them and they are beholding them and treasuring them, that there's a lot of bang for that buck.”
Diana is a tireless advocate for invisible illness and mental health, and she is a writer and publicist living in Los Angeles. And in addition to writing about mental health and invisible illness, she writes about female friendship and family dynamics for publications like Newsweek and Business Insider.
Diana is also currently writing a book entitled Damn Girl. It's a miraculous memoir of motherhood, migraine, and madness, which was recently long listed in the Tall Poppy Writers Contest.
In this episode we discussed:
her miraculous healing of chronic migraines and hearing of her resilience and the power of never giving up on yourself how Diana’s insights about living with invisible illness led to her advocating for mental health, especially among adolescents the importance of women supporting women and nurturing those female friendships that help us through any life challenges
