When you begin the process of finding your truest calling and purpose, you may only see where your life is NOT working. In this session, you’ll discover why this is a great place to be – because you are standing at your “growing edge,” where you are ready to embrace something new and bigger. And you’ll learn how to cultivate deep grace, compassion and courage when you find yourself on this precipice. You will:

- Learn to play and approach your growing edge with patience, curiosity and openness
- Understand the importance of operating from a place of responsibility, power and love – instead of fear, complaint, judgment or anger

Module 5: Overcoming Obstacles by Transforming Your Relationship to Them (Recorded on June 26, 2104)
The funny thing is, courage does not happen in the absence of fear. If you weren’t afraid, you wouldn’t need courage! You’ll learn that true courage can only happen when you face your fears, overwhelm, grief, anger and apathy – and then choose to take action from your heart anyway. You will:
- Look at the places where you are living within the confines of your fears

Module 7: Taking Action with Love (Recorded on July 10, 2014)
Most people will change their “purpose” many times throughout their lives. Most commonly, people are drawn to an issue for a few months, a year or a few years – and then branch out and find a new “purpose,” or even have several at a time. The key, though, is constantly being in loving action based on your purpose. And in this final session, you will explore which actions and ways of being of service are the best expression of your deeper purpose right now. You will:
- Explore the deep core of who you are

- Discover the ways your heart and soul most want to be in action and service in the world
- Identify your “dream team” of supporters who can assist your loving actions
- Gain clarity on your courageous next steps
