Living With Purpose Isn’t a Grand Escape—it Starts at Home

There was a time when I thought I had to search for a grand purpose. I would scroll through stories of women leaving everything behind to find themselves, backpacking through Asia, taking sabbaticals, or reinventing their lives from scratch. And I wondered what is wrong with me that I can’t seem to figure it out?

But here’s what I know now:

There was nothing to figure out! I just needed to return to myself and what truly mattered to me.

As a single mother, I was buried under responsibilities and routines. Exhausted from trying to live up to a version of life that never quite fit.

It all changed when I decided to figure out my values and my own voice. I returned to the part of me that still knows what I care about, even when the world gets noisy.

Living with purpose didn’t arrive in one big revelation. It came quietly, in moments and over time, like the first time I admitted I didn’t want to keep saying yes to things that drained me and the morning I let myself pause without calling it lazy.

The real moment came when I wrote down what I actually want and not what I should want.

The thing to remember is that purpose isn’t always loud or flashy. Sometimes, it’s just the calm you feel when your outer life starts to match your inner truth. That's how it was for me. 

It’s less about having all the answers and more about having the courage to listen to yourself again. To live from the inside out and not the outside in.

That's why I love Inspirational Guidance.

It’s for any woman who has been so busy surviving, she hasn’t had a moment to ask:

What do I actually want now?

You don’t need to escape your life. You just need to step back into it with intention.
