Finding Purpose: 3 Practical Steps to Discover Your Why

Purpose isn’t something we stumble upon—it’s something we uncover with intention. If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or unsure of what you're meant to do, start with these three steps:

  1. Self-Reflection: Take quiet time to ask yourself what lights you up, what breaks your heart, and what patterns show up in your life.

  2. Take Action: Don’t wait for the perfect answer. Try new things, engage in service, and follow your curiosity.

  3. Pay Attention to Impact: Notice where your efforts naturally make a difference. That’s often where purpose lives.

Luke Nehring’s journey is a testament to this. Through adversity and growth, he found that purpose isn’t just about what you do—it’s about who you become. Purpose is the foundation of identity, and when you find it, everything else begins to align.

Living Authentically: 3 Ways to Be True to Yourself

Authenticity is more than a buzzword—it’s a way of life. It’s choosing to live aligned with your values, not someone else’s expectations. If you want to live more authentically, start here:

  1. Own Your Story: Stop hiding the parts of your journey you think are too messy. That’s where your power is.

  2. Say What You Mean: Communicate clearly and kindly. Honesty builds trust with others and with yourself.

  3. Set Boundaries: Protect your energy by saying no to things that don’t align with your values or goals.

Luke’s example reminds us that authenticity isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being real. And when you're real, you give others permission to do the same.

Redefining Leadership: Everyone is a Leader

News flash: you don’t need a title to be a leader. Leadership is about influence, integrity, and taking responsibility for your impact. Whether you’re a parent, friend, teammate, or entrepreneur—you’re leading someone. The key is discovering how.

Start by asking yourself:

  • Who looks to me for guidance or support?

  • What values do I want to model for others?

  • Where can I step up and serve without needing recognition?

Luke challenges us to realize that leadership starts within. When you live with purpose and authenticity, leadership becomes a natural extension of who you are—not something you have to force.

Bringing It All Together

This episode is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when you commit to the journey of self-discovery. Purpose grounds you. Authenticity frees you. Leadership empowers you. Luke Nehring’s story offers proof that when we align with who we truly are, we become unstoppable forces for good.

You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to start. You were made to live with intention, lead with heart, and create a life that reflects your truth.

Keep going. Your purpose is waiting. And so is the world that needs it.
