Finding My Why by Doing My Why Before I'm Ready

In this episode, I share one of the biggest challenges I've faced: finding my "why."

Since beginning my mental health sabbatical on June 8, 2026, through the end of the year, I've spent a great deal of time reflecting, journaling, learning, and searching for clarity. I realized something surprising I didn't completely lack a purpose. What I lacked was the courage to fully step into it.

For so long, I convinced myself I needed more time, more knowledge, the right microphone, the right equipment, the right plan, or the confidence to finally begin. I kept waiting until I felt "ready."

Then it hit me.

The only way I'll truly discover my why is by living it.

Not by overthinking it. Not by waiting for perfect conditions. Not by collecting more information.

By doing it.

I've come to realize that the things that make me feel most alive are discovered through action. Every step I take, every conversation I have, every podcast I record, and every dream I pursue brings me closer to understanding who I'm becoming and what God may be calling me to do.

This episode is an invitation not just for me, but for you to stop waiting for permission, perfection, or certainty. Start where you are. Use what you have. Trust that clarity often comes after the first step, not before it.

Sometimes, the only way to find your why... is by doing your why before you're even ready.
