TN185: Turning your search for purpose into a meaningful business idea – With Sundae Schneider-Bean
Research has shown that having a strong sense of purpose has real benefits for our physical and mental health, our relationships and even our life expectancy! Yet so often expat partners feel that it is somehow not okay for them to want ‘more’ from their globally mobile lives.
This week, my friend and colleague Sundae Schneider-Bean and I are breaking down some of the big myths about finding your purpose. We’re explaining why not embracing your purpose is dangerous, how starting a business can help you find your purpose and why right now is the time to really start taking action, despite all the uncertainty in our world.
If you are struggling with how you can make an impact on the world around you when you have to keep moving or want to feel more fulfilled despite not having a ‘typical’ career, this episode is for you!
“Research shows that lack of purpose is life-threatening.”
