Power of Purpose
What’s the point? When you’re bumbling along, with no sense of direction, no vision and no driver, it’s harder to make decisions, to choose between one path and another, and it can all feel meaningless and difficult.
Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist, wrote in his book Man’s Search for Meaning about how in the concentration camp he was imprisoned in, those who found a sense of purpose, even in the most dire of circumstances, were better able to survive the torturous days.
My Brave New Girl podcast guest this week, Jessica Huie MBE has written “Purpose- find your Truth and Embrace your Calling” which is a timely call for us to enquire within to find our true purpose in our work and our life.
Jessica Huie MBE author of Purpose
This way to your true you.
Jessica Huie MBE’.s own journey led her to finding her purpose, and helping others find theirs.
Jessica Huie MBE is the author of bestseller, Purpose, one of the top ten business books according to The Independent. From single mum to jet-setting journalist & publicist to the stars to labelled one of Britain’s Most Inspiring Entrepreneurs by the Evening Standard, she found her purpose, helping others to find theirs by stripping back to meet themselves.
The pandemic catalysed a move to Jamaica with her 9 yr old son & that leap of faith inspired 5 further chapters of Jessica's latest book Purpose.
After growing up in dysfunctional childhood, Jessica became a teen mum living in a hostel on benefits having left home at 17 with 4 GCSEs. But work & achievement became her driver and she created a glittering career in PR followed by a successful business in multi-cultural occasion cards.
However it was when her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2016 that she became present for the first time and experienced what she came to understand to be a spiritual awakening.
Having found her own sense of self, she realised it was her destiny to help others to find their purpose too. And The Purpose Academy and The Purpose Retreat were born.
Her vision for the future is one where we are brave enough to live lives which are the truest expression of who we are. Once we do that, all of our social problems will take care of themselves.
She believes we must be willing to feel our feelings. That’s the starting place for living our purpose.
Thanks so much Jessica for sharing how you dared to live your best life which went from outward success to inner understanding, and embracing a fundamentally holistic purpose-driven life moving forwards.
Thanks also for showing us how to find the courage to look beneath the surface and find out what we really want to be and do with our lives.
