This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from my own journey -

“After I made the decision to start moving toward alignment with my authentic self, the world felt brighter, felt lighter. I felt energized because for the first time, I was moving towards something that reflected who I really was. And even though I didn't know exactly what the future looked like and had hope, and I felt excited about what was next, even though I didn't have it all figured out. That's what alignment feels like. It doesn't require certainty, and it brings peace.”

In this episode, I wrap up my special three-part series for high-achieving women leaders who are starting to realize that success alone isn’t enough. In part one, I shared the story of the moment I knew I wanted my work to make a difference. In part two, I talked about the hidden cost of staying out of alignment with your authentic self. And now, in part three, I’m answering the question: How do I even start aligning my success with my true purpose?

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. Learn why you don’t need a five-year plan to start moving toward your true purpose — you just need the next step.

2. Find out how reconnecting with your authentic self can shift your energy, bringing clarity and peace even when you don’t have everything figured out.

3. Discover how to begin making purpose-aligned decisions that reflect who you really are, so you can be both successful and fulfilled.

This week’s How She Finds Purpose insight comes from a belief I hold close:

“True purpose isn't about a specific job, a specific title, or career. It's not something you find out there. Purpose is about being true to your authentic self. It's about knowing who you are at your core and expressing that truth through the decisions you make, the work you do, and the life you live."

In this solo episode, I share a personal story about how witnessing my mother’s unfulfilled dreams shaped a lifelong promise to pursue work that aligns with purpose.

That restless search for meaning—so familiar to many high-achieving women—led to a liberating realization. Purpose isn’t tied to a job title or career path. Instead, it comes from staying true to who we are at our core.

Here are 3 reasons to tune in:

1. Discover why purpose isn’t something to “find” and what that shift in thinking could mean for your life and work.

2. Find out why so many high-achieving women feel unfulfilled, even with success, and how external expectations can get in the way.

3. Learn about the PurposeMAKER Method, a practical framework I developed to help women reconnect with their true selves and make decisions that align with what matters most.

If there’s been a nagging feeling that something is missing—or a quiet sense that you’re meant for more—this episode offers encouragement and clarity for taking the next small step toward living in alignment with your authentic self.

Hally Brooke is the Founder & CEO of Live Nourished, she is a Certified Functional Medicine Nutrition Counselor, Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Fox 21 Fitness & Nutrition Expert, and a fierce industry advocate.

Her self-education in nutrition and exercise began in 2014 when she battled and overcame her own serious GI issues including IBS and SIBO.

Through her own process of finding wholeness, health and healing for herself, as well as her education and experience with her clients, Hally has learned that living a nourished life takes more than just “eating healthy” or working out. Hally teaches that “true health” is a blend of not only physical health, but also mental, emotional & spiritual wellbeing. And that sometimes “health” looks like enjoying a burger instead of a salad, or taking a nap instead of going on a run.

From that experience, she has built a thriving Functional Medicine Coaching practice that works with clients in ALL the key areas of wellness including movement, nutrition, mindset, resilience, relationships, and self-care.

Her life mission is to encourage, and empower women by teaching healing. Whether as clients, through speaking events, business coaching, or personally with the people she encounters, she lives and breathes this mission day in and day out.

In this episode we discussed:

• the difference between functional medicine and western medicine and why it matters to you and your business

• how your gut impacts your energy and ability to work at your best

• the concept of “always enough and always growing”

• why healthy business owners make more money over time

• the importance of not just health, but well being too (and the difference between them)

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say:

"When we release what's no longer working, we create space for new opportunities. And that's the only way it happens. So when we release what's no longer working, we create space for new opportunities, new ways of thinking, being, and living. Ways that are in alignment with our authentic selves."

In this solo episode, I reflect on the significance of New Year’s Day—not just as the start of the calendar year, but as a meaningful moment for personal growth and transformation.

I share a heartfelt memory of my family’s New Year’s traditions and dive into how we can use this time to release what no longer serves us, align with our authentic selves, and create space for new opportunities.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

1. Learn why letting go of what’s no longer working is essential for creating space for growth and alignment.

2. Discover a practical exercise to focus on one area of your life and take meaningful steps toward transformation.

3. Be inspired to make small, intentional shifts that bring you closer to living as your true self.

You gotta be relentless."

Barbara C. Jordan (1936-1996) was born in Houston, Texas in 1936. Her father was a Baptist minister and her mother was a domestic worker. In high school and college, Jordan displayed extraordinary orating and debating skills. She graduated at the top of her class at Texas Southern University and went on to earn a law degree from Boston University.

Jordan began her distinguished public service career in 1966 when she was elected to the Texas State Senate. She became the first African American elected to that body since 1883. In 1972, she became the first African American woman from the South to be elected to the United States Congress, where she served as a member of the House of Representatives until 1979.

The highlights of Jordan’s career include her landmark speech during Richard Nixon’s impeachment hearings in 1974, her successful efforts in 1975 to expand the Voting Rights Act to include language minorities, and her keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 1976. She was the first African American woman to deliver that address. From 1979 until her death in 1996, Jordan served as distinguished professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

She graduated at the top of her class at Texas Southern University and went on to earn a law degree from Boston University.

Jordan began her distinguished public service career in 1966 when she was elected to the Texas State Senate. She became the first African American elected to that body since 1883. In 1972, she became the first African American woman from the South to be elected to the United States Congress, where she served as a member of the House of Representatives until 1979.

The highlights of Jordan’s career include her landmark speech during Richard Nixon’s impeachment hearings in 1974, her successful efforts in 1975 to expand the Voting Rights Act to include language minorities, and her keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in 1976. She was the first African American woman to deliver that address. From 1979 until her death in 1996, Jordan served as distinguished professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
