The Purpose Workshop: Why Finding Your “Why” Changes Everything

Have you ever felt busy—but not always sure why you’re doing what you’re doing?

That’s exactly why the Purpose Workshop exists.

Finding your “why” isn’t about having all the answers or creating a perfect life plan. It’s about getting clear on what truly matters to you—so your decisions, goals, and energy are aligned with something meaningful. When you know your why, everything else starts to make more sense.

And that’s what we’ll be focusing on in our April 18, 2026 Virtual Purpose Workshop.

Why Finding Your “Why” Matters

When you’re clear on your purpose, you:

  • Make decisions with more confidence
  • Stop chasing goals that don’t actually fulfill you
  • Feel more grounded and focused in your personal and professional life
  • Create direction—even during seasons of uncertainty

This workshop is designed to help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what drives you—without pressure, judgment, or overwhelm.

How the Workshop Works

The Purpose Workshop is a live, instructor‑led virtual session, but it’s built with flexibility in mind. If you can attend live, great. If you can’t, you’ll still get everything you need.

When you register, you’ll receive:

  • Access to the live virtual workshop on April 18
  • Downloadable course materials you can keep
  • The full workshop recording sent after the session

That means you can:

  • Join live and participate in real time
  • Watch the replay on your own schedule
  • Revisit the materials whenever you need clarity or a reset

Perfect for Busy Schedules (and Real Life)

Life happens. Work runs late. Family needs you. Energy comes and goes.

That’s why this workshop doesn’t require you to be glued to your screen at a specific time. Many students actually prefer watching the recording so they can pause, reflect, and take notes at their own pace.

No matter how you attend, you’ll walk away with tools and insights you can use long after the workshop ends.

Save Your Spot for the Purpose Workshop

Registration guarantees access to all materials and the full recording, even if you can’t attend live. Space is limited, so we recommend reserving your spot early.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply ready for more clarity, this workshop is a great place to start.

I’d love to see you there! Those who attended in person last weekend stated it was meaningful and impactful for them.

What Will Your Legacy Be?

Maybe it’s my personality. Maybe it’s growing up the oldest child with older parents. My brain has been wired for quite some time to think about legacy, purpose, and what my impact will be on the world. It made for interesting conversations with people in my age group. While they were thinking about right now and the immediate, my heart was leaning into what will be?

I believe we were created for more than taking up space, seeking our own pleasure, and then death. I believe we were created with a divine purpose. We are the walking, talking, paintings of God. We are the poems he has written on the pages of creation. Everything God created has a purpose. Do we all find this divine purpose and then align our lives with this purpose?

In my years of mentoring children, young adults, and even adults I will say I’ve encountered countless people who do not know why God put them on earth during this period of time. They are taking up space, completing the daily grind, hustling, some living paycheck to paycheck, and some dislike their lives.

Life was meant to be enjoyed, not simply endured. Yes, I am aware that in this world there will be trouble. I have certainly lived through long seasons of suffering, loss, and even betrayal. What I can say is, it has not all been suffering. There are tears that turned into joy. There have been moments of laughter and bliss. There have been whispers from God that made my heart soar.

When we know why God created us, it provides an opportunity to live aligned with our why. We enjoy life more. We can make meaning of even the most challenging circumstances. We are able to find contentment and satisfaction in our doing. We begin to do from our why instead of doing to find our why. Our identity becomes the spring board for our choices. We begin to ask if people, places, or opportunities align with who we are.

My why is linked to what I would love for my legacy to be. I desire people know the heart of God and it manifests in city outreaches to the invisible people on the streets, to victims of human trafficking, to children with no parents or parents who are too busy, to other women of color looking for anyone who looks like them in corporate leadership, to the hungry, to the sick without healthcare, and well, that is what I’ve done.

I posted to my social media last night, that if this were my last year of life, I would be happy with what I’ve done. It’s not for my fame or glory. A good number of years of my life what I’ve done or do has been in the shadows. There was no fan fare. No people lining up to support the mission. It was moving day in and day out on a mission. I hoped for and hope for the applause of heaven.

I hope you find your mission or purpose, if you have not already. I hope you find your why. Life is, from my perspective, more meaningful when we live in alignment with our why!

If you need help mapping your purpose or finding your why, you are invited to join us March 7, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio for The Purpose Workshop. Your legacy matters! You can live more fulfilled. Join us. Seats are limited. https://tinyurl.com/The-Purpose-Workshop-2026

Grateful for the Recent CEO Times Feature — And Excited for What’s Ahead

I’m deeply grateful to CEO Times for recently featuring my work as an author and my role within Empowered & Free. The article—written by one of their contributors—offers an outside perspective on the mission‑driven programs, services, and community impact that Empowered & Free continues to build. Having this work recognized in a respected publication is both humbling and energizing, and it reinforces the importance of creating spaces where individuals can grow, heal, and lead with purpose.

What stood out most in the feature was how clearly the contributor captured the heart behind Empowered & Free: a commitment to helping individuals break through limitations, step into clarity, and reconnect with their deeper purpose. This work has always been rooted in authenticity and transformation, and seeing it reflected through an external lens was a meaningful reminder of how far the mission has come—and how many lives are being impacted along the way.

I remain committed to advancing meaningful, values‑aligned work within the nonprofit and wellness spaces, always guided by a simple but powerful belief:

“Life isn’t meant to be endured; it’s meant to be embraced.”
