Turning Potential Into Purpose (and Why It Matters)

Turning Potential Into Purpose (and Why It Matters)

What if the life you’ve been working so hard for isn’t the life you’re meant to live?

In this episode, I share powerful lessons from Reaching Your Potential and Designing Your Life and explain why purpose often reveals itself in the quiet moments when we pause, listen to God, and take that first bold step forward.

You’ll also meet Taylor Herzer, a physician associate whose career took a dramatic turn. After long, exhausting shifts in the ER during COVID-19, Taylor realized she wanted more than just to treat symptoms. She wanted to truly transform lives. That realization led her into functional medicine, where she blends traditional care with holistic approaches and empowers patients to take charge of their own health.
