In this week’s episode, we dive into a topic that may feel unexpected but incredibly important: how trauma influences our sense of purpose. We explore the often-overlooked duality of trauma, seeing it not just as a source of pain but also as a creator of gifts, strengths, and direction in life. I'll unpack how our deepest wounds can actually lead us to our soul's calling.
We will cover:
- Trauma’s Role in Purpose: Trauma fragments us, but it can also help shape our character traits, gifts, and even our career paths. By understanding the patterns of our wounds, we can find deeper alignment with our purpose.
- The Healing Process: Healing trauma can lead to growth and transformation, unlocking new gifts that can be part of our life’s mission. We explore how healing often becomes a gateway to identifying our soul’s purpose and collective contribution.
- A Multifaceted View of Purpose: Purpose isn't just about what brings us joy; it's about embracing both light and shadow, joy and struggle. Trauma plays a critical role in shaping this journey, but it requires conscious and careful healing work.
- Practical Steps to Identify Purpose: I provide a simple, trauma-informed exercise to help you start exploring your purpose through the lens of your life experiences. By reflecting on your skills and strengths born from trauma, you can find authentic paths that feel expansive and energizing.
- A Holistic View on Trauma & Purpose: This exploration is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone’s journey with trauma is different, and healing or finding purpose can look different for each individual.
Exercise Mentioned in the Episode:
- Create a timeline of significant life events (positive and challenging).
- Reflect on the skills and qualities developed through these experiences.
- Identify which skills expand and energize you, and explore how they might be applied to a purposeful career.
