True Calling Project | Finding Purpose and Meaning In Life and Career

Why are we in such a rush to get somewhere we currently aren't? When we are constantly bombarded with messages that glamorize the final product we tend to skip over our own process and the necessary steps in our process. We are all addicted. Addictions are not just about substances in our mind but also are concepts, false ideas, and unrealistic expectations that take us away from the important place that we currently are. Embracing the process, honoring it, and listening and learning to what it is teaching us in the moment.

Ep. 26 - Jo Muirhead: Helping People Reconnect to a Sense of Purpose

Do you ever feel lost or burnt out due to the stress of running a business, or life in general?

Jo Muirhead has been there – and now she helps others search for awareness so that they can more easily build a life around their true calling.

Jo is an author, speaker, private practice mentor, and rehabilitation consultant. As the director and principal consultant of Purple Co, the Purpose for People Company, she helps people return to work and reconnect to a sense of purpose following injury, illness, or trauma.

Jo has a lot of success, and she’s finally built a business that doesn’t cause her to burn out... but only after years of trial and error. During that time, her business suffered as her health declined.

Eventually Jo learned that she doesn’t need to run her business based off of anyone else’s template. If we learn more about our values and how we operate, then we can build structures, systems, and schedules that contribute to our own self-care (instead of necessitating care), while still allowing us to grow successful businesses.

“You are enough. You don’t have to prove yourself to anyone or anything. You’re actually enough – and you’re more than enough – and you’re okay just the way you are. You don’t know it all, but you have the capacity to learn... so go learn.”

True Take 016: Do It When You Don't Feel Like Doing It

Of all of the insights and practical advice that I have heard in the past few years, the one that has made all of the difference is that "if we want to make lasting and significant change in our lives, we have to sometimes do things we don't want to do." If we only listen to our feelings, our whims, our mood, our problems...we'll never be able to maintain consistency. We have to rise above our cravings and impulses and force ourselves to show up on the days, and in the places, we don't want to. When we do this, and transcend our old habits, we can open up space for new things to come in and the rest will take care of itself. Just show up! Don't wait until you feel like doing it.
