The Pursuit of Purpose Podcast

52| Your 20s can feel like a constant identity crisis — one minute you think you've figured it out, the next you're questioning everything you've ever done. In this episode, I sit down with my good friend and returning guest Ron Lim (@ronwritings), author of Twenty Something, to talk about the chaos, clarity, and curveballs that defined this decade for us. We get into the real stuff: what it means to feel lost, how to listen to yourself, and why success doesn't ever follow a straight line.In the episode, we cover:Why feeling lost often leads to clarity The pressure to figure it all out in your early 20s — and why it's BSThe importance of getting lost to find what actually matters to youLetting go of who you thought you should be to become who you really areHow to stop outsourcing your self-worth and start trusting your own voiceCONNECT WITH RON:Instagram Buy "Twenty Something" - AmazonBuy "No Idea What Im Doing But F*ck It"Ron's SubstackRon's ShopCONNECT WITH MEL:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with me! 1:1 Soul Alignment & Purpose Coaching -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠melissakehbareham@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read transcript ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠

51| Perfectionism isn't the badge of honor we often think it is — it's a prison that keeps us stuck. In this episode, I'm sharing my personal experience with perfectionism, how it took centre-stage in my life, and the messy but freeing path Ive been taking to overcome it. If you've ever felt like you're never good enough or like fear is running the show, this one's for you.We cover:The sneaky ways perfectionism disguises itself and keeps you smallWhy procrastination and self-sabotage are often signs of perfectionismThe emotional toll of trying to “get it right” all the timeHow self-compassion and letting go of control changed everything for mePractical tools to break free from perfectionism and take bold, imperfect actionCONNECT WITH MEL:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with me! 1:1 Soul Alignment & Purpose Coaching -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠melissakehbareham@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read transcript ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠

50| Your 20s can feel like the longest decade ever while simultaneously a whirlwind —equal parts magic and mess. After turning 30 last week, I've been reflecting on the most pivotal lessons I've taken away from my 20's. From trusting your intuition and defining success on your own terms to embracing change and realizing no one actually has it all figured out, this episode is packed with everything I wish I knew (if I could do it all over again). Whether you're navigating your own quarter-life awakening or just looking for some insight, this one's for you.We cover:Why trusting your intuition will change everythingThe mindset shift that will stop fear from holding you backThe biggest financial lesson I wish I learned at 20Why you're allowed to change—and why you shouldThe truth about success (and who gets to define it)CONNECT WITH MEL:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Work with me! 1:1 Soul Calling & Purpose Coaching -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apply today⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠melissakehbareham@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Read transcript ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠

49| It's 2025 and you know what that means! New year, new energy, and more importantly new things to drop like they're hot. After some deep new year's reflection of my biggest takeaways from last year, Im sharing with you the top eight things I'm committing to letting go of in 2025 in order to actually call in everything I desire this year. Spoiler alert: if you've ever struggled with overthinking, perfectionism, or filling every moment with stuff and yet still wonder why nothing is working **—this one's for you. What we cover: The “Think to Action Ratio” – Why overthinking is keeping you stuck and how to flip the script. Why “doing it shitty” is the best way to get things done. How to stop waiting for validation and start trusting yourself. Breaking the Multitasking Myth – Why doing less actually helps you achieve more. How clearing out mental and physical clutter creates room for magic.

48 | Let's face it—Taylor Swift isn't just an artist; she's a movement. From shattering records with her $2 billion tour to dropping albums that spark global frenzies, she's got the kind of business savvy that makes CEOs take notes.

In honour of the Eras Tour finale (brb, still crying), I'm diving deep into 13 genius lessons from Taylor's career. These aren't just tips; they're a blueprint you can (and should) steal to craft a business so magnetic, your fans will be dying to have a piece of it. Grab your bracelets, queue your favorite T-Swift anthem, and let's make magic happen. This is your era. HOLIDAY 50% SALE

There's only one thing as equally guaranteed to happen to you in life besides death: CHANGE. Yet its something that so many of us struggle to accept, invite and embrace in our lives.

Nowadays it seems the playbook rules for how to 'do business' are getting more and more prescriptive and rigid. With cookie cutter offers, constant noise of the 'ultimate strategy you need NOW' and advice coming from all sides, building a business or project you love can go from an exciting passion-filled prospect to feeling overwhelming, stressful and even unfulfilling. We've made it all about strategy & hustle and in the process lost a lot of what used to make it feel human. In today's episode Im joined by Chelsea Riffe, a master podcast strategist & mentor, host of the podcast In My Non-Expert Opinion, and female solo-travelling digital nomad, as well as being my own former podcast mentor. Chelsea knows a thing or two (jk a LOT) about whats it's like to get caught in the trap of the 'one size fits all' mentality, and has worked to create a life where her business fits around her LIFE - not the other way around. We dig into why bringing humanness, play, and fun into your business is essential to longterm sustainability and how embracing your 'suckiness' might just be the key to moving faster than you thought possible. Chelsea is someone who's mastered leading life from her one-of-a-kind personality and utilizes that superpower, along with her real life and travel experiences, to connect with her audience and clients on a deeply human and authentic level. In this episode we talk about: How every opportunity feels fair game when you're travelling Growing into a new identity and outgrowing your former environments Learning how to grow one step at a time v.s. all at once ‘Embracing your suckiness' & enjoying being a beginner Bringing back ‘Being Human' in our businesses Expressing your personality beyond a single ‘niche' Letting your LIFE take priority (and not just your business) Becoming a ‘Video Game Character': using archetypes to embody new energies ✨

When you're newly graduated from College in a corporate job that was supposed to be your "dream gig" at your dream company, but it quickly starts to feel more like a nightmare instead of the fulfilling future you imagined for yourself, it can be so tempting to think about throwing it all away, quitting outright and pursuing something you actually have a passion for. But what happens when you leave and don't know what's next? What happens when resistance comes from all sides in the form of judgement, limiting beliefs, and failed businesses? Does that mean we're not on the right path anymore, or is it a sign to keep going even harder? Today, hear a true manifestation come to life when I sit down with Confidence and Mindset Coach, Kristen Such to discuss her journey from corporate finance gal to taking a huge leap of faith and intuition to start living a life aligned with her highest potential.
