    I'm so excited to have Rachel East of Clarity On Fire as my special guest and to answer your questions about finding your life purpose.If you've been tying your life purpose to career – you're missing out on more than half the equation! Listen on as we explore the pitfalls of tying your joy and purpose to external factors like a career. We also discuss the difference between purpose and passion, what purpose is and isn't, and how to create a purposeful life today.Finding your purpose starts with realizing what you have been conditioned to believe about yourself. It's only when we can start deprogramming those thoughts that you can emerge as your true, authentic best selves.And really, life purpose may not be so much about accomplishing goals X, Y, and Z, as it is just simply being excited about living the human experience.

    Do you have a hard time making space in your life to have fun? Are adults even allowed to have fun – in the sense of just allowing yourself to be present? Do you only do what feels productive?In this episode, I'm going to teach you some easy tips and share ways that I have added more fun into my own life, because we all deserve to INTENTIONALLY experience fun and be present in the moment!Maybe you feel like your habits are hardwired for survival. Or perhaps your family was working all the time, so you never saw what it was like to see an adult model how to have fun.I don't remember seeing my parents having fun.

    In this debut episode, I, Emily Liou, Certified Life Coach, explain my soul purpose and mission to evolve from a known job search coach to a life coach. Listen in as I delve into why I'm so freaking excited to share how you can cultivate your own joyful life.For the past 6+ years, I've been helping people land their dream jobs without applying online. I've made a name for myself as a “LinkedIn Top 10 Voice” to follow in job search and career, and I'm recognized for having one of the top career-coaching programs. But, as you'll learn in this episode, we are whole beings, and I've been feeling out of alignment with myself to not support your beautiful soul with everything that relates to inside and outside of your career.Together, we'll go on a journey of how you can come back to your whole self – your true authentic self, the self that loves and approves of yourself – no matter what you have on the exterior or what others say or think.And to begin, I have a practical exercise called the Wheel of Life to get you started on your journey.Listen in as we uncover the following topics:00:00 Welcome to the Journey: Discovering Your Why00:41 Introducing Cultivate Your Joyful Life01:33 The Personal Story Behind the Podcast02:11 Transitioning from Career Coach to Life Coach03:16 The Essence of Cultivating a Joyful Life08:13 Unveiling the Wheel of Life: A Guide to Fulfillment09:46 Your First Actionable Exercise: The Wheel of Life11:47 Gratitude and Next StepsThanks for joining me on this first episode of the Cultivate Your Joyful Life podcast.
