- “I wanted to expand my artist. I wanted to expand my beingness. And I knew that the container that I had built, I had outgrown. I helped build this container, but I needed to step out of it.” – Nick Demos
- “I don’t know if the online space found me or I found the online space.” – Nick Demos

That love is our bliss, that is our alignment. That is our sole purpose, that’s our truth.” – Emily Aarons

Episode 120
Today, you will discover the 5-step process that I teach my clients when they are looking for help and guidance around how to find your purpose and passion in life.
In this episode, I go deep into the importance of understanding what your soul purpose in life really is and what to do I find it.
Even though sometimes you might think that you are loosing your purpose, the truth is that you are always on the right path.
You are actually living your purpose just by being alive, by waking up every day.
Always remember that the only way to make sure you are living your best life is to take care of the vehicle that your soul is inside of, meaning your physical body.
Highlights you won’t want to miss:
- Step #1
You are probably already doing it. Take a look at your life and you will find clues that will show you that are already living your purpose.
- Step #2
Go back in time and look at your life path. Observe your past and the things that have always brought you joy and that you have been doing all your life.
- Step #3
Wake up and know that you are going it right. You are always on the right path.
- Step #4
Allow yourself to feel into what lights you up.
- Step #5
Find it, you need to take responsibility and find your purpose and go after it because no one is going to give it to you.
- Bonus Step #6
Ask your friends what they think you are the best at. Many times they know you better than you know yourself.
Shareable Quotes:
- “So we tell ourselves: I’m not on my life path. I don’t know if I’m losing my purpose right now. But if you woke up and you’re alive right now, you are living your purpose. Your path might not look like a million dollars in the bank, but you’re living your purpose. You’re literally alive, living your purpose.” – Emily Aarons
- “If you’re not outside in nature, you’re not moving your body, you’re not eating foods that nourish your body, then, of course, you’re not going to feel passionate. Of course, you’re not going to feel you’re living your purpose because your body is literally numb.” – Emily Aarons
- “If you want to make sure you’re living your best life, you also need to take care of the vehicle that your soul is inside. Meaning your physical body, it’s literally a temple.” – Emily Aarons

Where are you on your journey in your business? Are those “perfect strategies” that have worked so amazingly well for others working for you? In this episode, Emily shares how to take those “perfect” strategies and make them perfect for YOU.
We all know there is no shortage of amazing strategies out there for you to grow your business, but the reason why something that has worked for someone else may not work for you is because it isn’t in alignment with you, or may not “feel” right.
Strategies and tactics are the map. Dialing into your “inner compass” (your intuition and inner knowing) is your super power and will get you further faster, with better results. Without a compass you don’t know where to go. That is what you want to tap into, so your inner compass can serve as your guide.
Highlights you won’t want to miss:
- Listen to the signs your body gives you, for instance: if your body tightens or feels “off”, those are signs that you aren’t in alignment.
- If you are looking for permission to drop all of the stuff you’re taking on and do it the way YOU want to do it here it is!
- There are NO RULES. There is no one size fits all.
- ASK YOURSELF – What would make it work for me? How can I feel good doing it?
- Look at the strategies you’re learning about or implementing and see what components are feeling heavy or need a shakeup. Then you can add your own flavor on it.
- When fear does comes up, remember there is a fine line between being nervous about something and fear pulling you back.
3 Key Points:
- Why following what others do, and what is working for them, isn’t always your best option.
- How dialing into your inner compass is key
- We are the co-creators of our lives; do what feels right for YOU
Tweetable Quotes:
- “Do what feels right TO YOU what feels light, easy and fun!” – Emily Aarons
- “Detach from the outcome and have FUN!” – Emily Aarons
- “Give yourself permission to not play by the rules. There is no right or wrong way, only YOUR way.” – Emily Aarons
- “Your inner compass will take you further faster with better results” – Emily Aarons
