Ep. 44: Beyond Expectations - Rethinking your spiritual calling with human design Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Why are you here, and what is your purpose? To ponder the meaning of our existence is a wonderful gift. However, such questions can quickly become torment when we set rigid expectations for ‘solving the great mystery’ of our purpose in life. In today's episode, I’m delving into the idea that rather than having an overarching purpose, our soul mission may be found in the daily intention and invitation to make the world a better place.

Listen to this week's episode to take the pressure off ‘solving’ your spiritual calling and take comfort in the open possibilities of your life path.

Key Talking Points:

The problem with seeing our calling as one overarching goal
What Human Design and the magnetic monopole have taught me about finding purpose and direction
The challenges of having an open or undefined G center in relation to identity and purpose
Viewing your spiritual calling as a theme or intention without expectation
How expectation can lead to disappointment and limit your field of possibilities

Creating the life that you desire to live, mind, body, and spirit, doesn't have to be difficult.

I help my clients break through limitations on their personal journey to claim their calling - if you’d like to explore opportunities to work with me let’s chat on a free clarity call: https://www.priestofinanna.com/work-with-me/spiritual-life-coaching/
