Listen "2.7 Purpose: The Why That Ties it All Together"
Episode Synopsis
After beginning to introduce the Five P’s framework this season, I realized that a 6th P, purpose, is the foundation that ties every other P together—permission, play, patterns, presence, and perspective.When we understand the “why” behind what we do, we can align our energy, choose our yes’s and no’s more intentionally, and feel more at peace in our routines and relationships.Purpose doesn’t have to feel heavy—it can include lightness, play, and joy. Sometimes, doing something “just because” is a powerful purpose, too.Listen in about how aligning our micro actions (the small things we do every day) with our macro purpose (our larger goals and values) can bring more meaning, energy, and intention into our lives.Timestamps (00:00) Introduction and grounding breath (00:45) Why I added a sixth “P” to the framework (01:22) Exploring what “purpose” really means (02:16) The difference between doing things with purpose and for purpose (03:28) Finding alignment between micro and macro purposes, with real life examples (08:39) Shifting from negative to positive purpose statements (11:20) Quote from Brene Brown and what I love about purpose (13:38) My favorite examples of “just because” purpose (15:48) How purpose connects to all five P’s (17:42) Closing reflections and what’s next for the podcastLinks & ResourcesConnect with me on Instagram to continue the conversation and to learn more about working with me: @meaganhubbardcoachingMentioned in this episode: Daring Greatly by Brené BrownSEO Keywords purpose in everyday life, finding your why, living with intention, micro vs macro purpose, mindful living podcast, women’s personal growth, Permission to Pause podcast
