What happens when the thing you thought you were meant to do turns out to be only part of your story? And how do you recognize when life is taking you somewhere you never expected?

In this episode of Create Your Happy, I chat with Brad about his journey from photography and corporate work to discovering a deeper sense of purpose through amplifying the voices of women. Brad shares how something he never saw coming changed his life, his work, and his understanding of what makes him feel truly alive.

We talk about purpose and happiness, the importance of human connection, learning to put yourself first without losing sight of the people you love, and why so many women end up putting everyone else’s needs ahead of their own.

This is a conversation about purpose, authenticity, relationships, self trust, and staying open to the possibility that a meaningful life might look nothing like you originally imagined.
