EP106: Finding Your Sense of Purpose with Stephanie Venditto

Shownotes:

Stephanie Venditto is a communications/leadership and life coach. After years of building a career as an actress, the characters she played no longer resonated with her. She realized that she had lost her sense of self and creativity. It was during her travel in Italy that she discovered parts of her that were dying to be heard. It was a moment of stripping some layers of herself to give way to her new self.

She then found her way into the corporate fashion industry until eventually dedicating all of her time now as a communications/leadership and life coach.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Why all of life happens at the kitchen table
The perspective shift from generation to generation
How do you find that sense of purpose
The conversation of collective consciousness
Why we need to deconstruct to construct

Episode Highlights:

The Path of Metamorphosis

Life gets messy and it's not to be avoided. It's just to be experienced. But along that journey, we learn how to protect ourselves and we learn how to hide behind certain facades. We ask the world how it wants us to look so they could accept us. Then we become less and less of ourselves. We get into these jobs and we continue to do them just for the rest of the world to accept us.

Our journey is a collection of information. When things resonate, we're in pure connection. We discover ourselves. We begin to separate from ourselves. But we have to strip off some layers of ourselves to become something new.

How Do You Find that Sense of Purpose?

We're all rediscovering ourselves. It's whether we journey into it or not. Unfortunately, 85% of people don't change, they stay the same, and only 15% of people actually change.

What kind of choices do you want to say yes to and what are you willing to say no to? Then put a commitment to these new choices. Either enhance or discover a new purpose to either what you do or what you're curious about that you want to add to your life. At the end of the day, where are you most aligned with?

Deconstruct to Construct

Right now, we find ourselves in the most creative time that’s true to the messiness of life and human nature. But we have to break some things in order to rebuild.

Use this time to explore the unknown inside yourself. What worked in the past might not work today so just acknowledge that. Make choices that resonate with you. This is your opportunity to really redefine what you want and the impact it has on you.
