Your purpose isn't something you find. It's what's left when your ego finally gets out of the way.

In our next episode of JUNG ON PURPOSE, Why The Ego Blocks Your Purpose, we unpack what purpose actually is, and why so many people confuse it with career success or a life plan. Drawing on the Upanishads' concept of dharma, Jungian individuation, and the hero's journey, they explain the four pillars of a whole life (relationships, success, wellness, and dharma), why the "call" to purpose usually shows up as a midlife wall around 30, and why the ego resists that call at every turn. Discover why discomfort and resistance are often a sign you're on the right path, why mentors and coaches matter more than any tactic or strategy, and how true purpose requires the ego's version of you to symbolically die so a deeper, soul-led version can take over.

In this episode, we will unpack:

  • The four pillars that make up a whole, aligned life
  • Why so many people hit "the pause" around age 30
  • Why resistance and discomfort often mean you're on the right path
  • How the ego fights to keep you safe, familiar, and stuck
  • Why mentors and coaches carry your belief in yourself until you can
