Finding Your Purpose When You Feel Lost: A Guide to Coming Home to Yourself

Hey, love! Welcome back to the Glow Up Guide collective the cozy corner of the internet where we have those heartfelt chats about personal growth, healing, and stepping into your power, one messy, beautiful step at a time. Today, we're diving into a topic that most of us have faced: feeling completely lost. You know, those moments when it seems like everyone else has their life perfectly mapped out, and you're just left wondering what you're supposed to do next?

Have you ever been in a job that drains you or watched others chase their dreams while you feel stuck? Maybe it's crossed your mind that you're meant for more, but you can't pin down what that "more" is. Here's a reminder: You're not broken if you feel lost. You're in a process of rediscovery finding out who you are and what truly lights you up.

So many of us experience this aimless feeling, especially women in their twenties and thirties. Society puts pressure on us to have everything figured out by 25 career, relationships, goals, and a perfect social media presence. But that perfectly wrapped image? It's not real. It's just pressure that makes us feel like we're failing when we’re not.

We've been led to believe that purpose is a grand revelation a calling that arrives with fanfare. But in reality, purpose is a gentle whisper, and yes, it can change over time. Waiting for the perfect moment or fearing to make the wrong choice can leave us stuck in indecision. The truth is, clarity comes from action, from the journey not from being perfect or comparing ourselves to others.

You're not here to chase someone else’s dream, love. If you've been people-pleasing or seeking validation for so long that you've lost sight of your own desires, it’s time to come home to yourself. You're not behind; you’re not too late. You're in your season of becoming, and it’s going to lead you to something beautifully fulfilling.

We've been told to find our purpose like it's hidden treasure, but it’s something you create. It unfolds with time through trying, failing, learning, and growing. Instead of asking, "What's my one true calling?" try asking, "What lights me up right now?" or "What impact do I want to make in this season of my life?"

Remember, your purpose doesn't need to be monetized. Your worth isn’t tied to productivity. Sometimes your purpose is just to be you fully, authentically, unapologetically.

Until next time, keep growing, keep glowing, and remember: Your purpose isn’t waiting to be found. It’s waiting for you to create it. I believe in you, and I’m so proud of the woman you’re becoming.
