Episode Synopsis

“What If Your Purpose Is Simpler Than You Think?”In this episode, we explore one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking truths about being human: our unending search for meaning. From our careers to our trauma to our relationships, we chase purpose as if it’s something “out there” to discover — when the deepest spiritual teachings remind us that meaning is born in presence, not performance.Gina shares a personal reflection on devoting the past year to simplicity — nervous-system simplicity, spiritual simplicity, and the simplicity of returning home to herself. And together, we explore the paradox that every mystic, saint, philosopher, and meditation master has whispered in their own way:You are not here to find your purpose.You are here to live it.In the smallest, quietest, most honest moments of your life.Drawing on teachings from Jesus, the Buddha, the Tao Te Ching, Ram Dass, Yogananda, and modern neuroscience, we break down why humans crave meaning — and how that craving transforms when your nervous system finally feels safe.What if your purpose is to love?What if meaning shows up when you soften?What if God is in the simplest parts of your day?This episode is an invitation to stop searching and start living — with more presence, more breath, and more devotion to the life right in front of you.Explore More with LumaRoot and Work With Us✨ Website: https://www.lumaroot.net
