Hello, welcome to the Mom On Purpose podcast, so excited to have you here today. I have been thinking a lot about you this week and I've been noticing a lot in Facebook groups and in clients and I mean it's just coming up a lot. So, I thought it'd be really good to come back and do like a really foundational episode, just a couple minutes on discovering your purpose and as I thought about this, I've been thinking a lot about a treasure hunt.
Now, a treasure hunt, you know, if you think back to when you were a child, for example, and you're learning about pirates, and there's some kind of treasure that exists and you've got a map and somewhere on this map there's an X where that's where the treasure is buried. But along the way there are certain steps that you have to take. You're looking for clues, you're piecing things together, but the treasure is already there, and you know that it's there. It's just you getting there.
So, as I've had this visual in the back of my mind, I've been thinking a lot about that in regards to how that applies to you when you're discovering your purpose and I think the most important thing here is when you're thinking about it it's relating it to the fact that your purpose already exists, just like the treasure already exists in your treasure hunt. And what I see so often is that moms think that it's something outside of them. It's, it could be there.
They're not really sure. They get kind of overwhelmed at the thought of the journey. They don't know what that purpose is. But what I want you just to think for a second is that when you're envisioning this treasure map, it doesn't exist outside of you, it's already written inside of you. The X is right over your heart, like your heart and soul already know what you're meant to do. It's just getting your brain and your body on board with it, and that takes a little bit of uncovering. And when you start to uncover it, when you start to look for those clues, when you start piecing things together, that's where you're finding that reward, that treasure inside of you.
Okay, this is something that you brought to the earth. This is the reason why you're on the earth. I truly do believe you already know what it is. It's just sometimes our brain and our body get in the way of that. So, when it comes to discovering our purpose, I wanted to just let you know about something that I made for you so that you can find what exists inside of you, to find this purpose that's written in your heart and soul. If you go to my website larajohnsoncoaching.com I actually just made a new website and on this website I have an amazing guide that I made for you.
So, when you go to the homepage, you'll scroll down and it will talk about the discover your purpose guidebook and you'll have a place, a button, that you can click on there to download this. It's a very short guidebook, but what it does is it teaches you the discover your purpose formula and provides questions for you so that you can start uncovering and finding those clues and piecing together what's in your heart and in your soul.
Now, when I was making this, I actually made this a long time ago and I've just kind of kept it to myself. For a little while, as I was going through and making my new website, I've been working with a guy. He's been teaching me all the technology for doing it and it's been very scary because traditionally I don't like touching the tech, usually hire it out but I thought you know, I actually want to learn this. I want to know what, in the background of things, I'm creating some really great stuff for you. I'm about to launch a new program soon, which I'll tell you about in the coming weeks, but with this, I just really wanted this amazing freebie that will change people's lives, and I was brainstorming with him and all these things. And then I's lives.
And I was brainstorming with him and all these things and then I just sat there, and I was like you know what I have? This thing I made a long time ago and I pulled it up and he's like this is gold. He's like why did you not tell me about this and why haven't you been using this for the last couple of years? I was like I don't know. It's like I made it and I've just kind of sat with it because I didn't know what to do with it. He's like this needs to be shared with everyone, and so he helped me figure out all the tech in order to put it onto my website for you. And I really do feel like it's Christmas having this, because I want so badly for you to have all of those pieces to find your treasure that's written on your heart and soul. So go to my website, larajohnsoncoaching.com.
Lara is spelled L-A-R-A, l-a-r-a and, depending on your age bracket, Lara. You'll either think of Lara Croft or you'll think of Dr Zhivago. Lara is on that. It's an older movie, but that's actually who I was named after.
But this is where you'll find your guide and, like I mentioned, you'll learn the discover your purpose formula, which is joy plus decision equals purpose, and I'll dive into each of those things how you can find your joy, the things that light you up, the things that are your God giving gifts and talents, and then I'll help you discover your decision-making process and how to work through that cycle so that you can be making stronger, more empowered decisions every single day, so that you are working towards discovering your purpose and answering it.
So, there you have it. It's a very short episode today, but I wanted to give you a little bit of background on that resource that I have for you on my website. You will be hearing more about this soon. Like I mentioned, there's some really big things that are in the works right now and I can't wait to share them with you. I'll talk to you soon.
Thank you for listening. Please share, review and subscribe to this podcast so that together we can live life on purpose.
