Have you ever been asked, “What’s your why?”… and found yourself unsure how to answer?
Maybe you’ve thought about purpose before. Maybe you’ve even done the work.
But something about that question still feels a little abstract… or just out of reach.
In this episode, I sit down with Kelsey Vaughn for a behind-the-scenes look at the Why Discovery process inspired by Simon Sinek’s Start With Why.
Together, we explore what it actually means to uncover your why, not as something you have to create, but as something that has been there all along.
This conversation is about recognizing patterns, naming what’s already true, and understanding how your purpose connects to the way you experience joy in your life and work.
Because when you are living in alignment with your why, things start to shift.
Your work feels more meaningful.
Your decisions feel clearer.
And your capacity for joy expands in ways that are hard to ignore.
In this episode you will learn:
• What “finding your why” really means and why it is not about becoming someone new
• How early life experiences and stories reveal patterns that shape your purpose
• Why your why is more about impact than the roles or titles you hold
• How to recognize when you are in or out of alignment with your why
• The connection between authenticity, integrity, and joy
• How identifying your “hows” can help you set boundaries and make aligned decisions
• Why awareness is the first step toward meaningful change
