Podcasts about find meaning

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we're tuning into something deeper than ambition, goals, or even success—we're exploring purpose. But not the kind that fits neatly on a resume or hangs on a nameplate. Purpose Isn't a Title—It's a Tuning Fork. It's not about what you do, but how in tune you are with who you are—and how that tone carries into the world around you. You've probably heard the saying, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” That idea turns the pressure of finding purpose into a journey of alignment. Instead of chasing something “out there,” we're inviting you to listen inward. Today, we'll explore how purpose can show up in unexpected places, how to recognize it when it does, and how to nurture and share it—whether or not it ever comes with a title. When we talk about purpose, what exactly are we referring to? For many, the word conjures images of big missions, clearly defined callings, or lofty life goals. It might feel tied to a job, a talent, or a cause. But at its core, purpose is deeper and more personal. It's not what you do—it's why you do it. Purpose is your internal compass. It's the sense of meaning that guides your decisions, energizes your actions, and helps you feel aligned with something greater than yourself. Unlike goals, which are concrete and achievable, purpose is ongoing. You don't check it off a list. You live it. Let's be clear: Purpose isn't a title. It's not tied to your position at work, your parenting status, your volunteer role, or your business card. It's the intention behind how you show up in the world. A janitor with pride in their work, a friend who always makes time to listen, or a teacher who nurtures curiosity—each of these people is  living with purpose, whether or not it's ever labeled as such. It's easy to confuse what we do with why we're here. Society tends to reward titles, accolades, and clear career paths. But when those things shift—due to job changes, retirement, empty nests, or life transitions—we can feel unmoored. That's why understanding purpose as a through-line in your life, rather than a single role or achievement, is essential. Purpose can evolve. It may look different at age 25 than it does at 65, but that doesn't make it any less valid. It's a thread that can weave through different jobs, seasons, and passions, always bringing you back to your core values and gifts. So as we explore this topic, remember this: purpose isn't out there waiting to be discovered—it's already within you, waiting to be tuned into. Why Purpose Doesn't Have to Be All or Nothing How to Find Meaning in Uncertain Times Carl Jung - How to Find Your Purpose CHALLENGE: Take a moment to pause and ask yourself—not what you do, but why you do it. What lights you up, feels meaningful, or makes you feel useful to others? Purpose isn't something you find fully formed—it's something you uncover, nurture, and grow over time. I Know YOU Can Do It!

It's a strange feeling when you've checked all the boxes—career wins, financial comfort, recognition—and still feel like something's off. That quiet emptiness creeps in when the things you thought would fulfill you just... don't. You start to realize that success on paper doesn't always match what you need on the inside. It's not that your work doesn't matter—it's that it might be crowding out something deeper you haven't made space to explore yet. Dr. Kimberley Linert is a former behavioral optometrist who now helps high performers align their careers with personal fulfillment. She developed the Optic Brain Fit method, blending vision therapy and brain integration to support lasting personal change. Today, she shares how many successful professionals feel unfulfilled because their lives aren't aligned with their core values. Her approach encourages small, intentional shifts toward goals that actually matter. Dr. Linert emphasizes clarity, self-awareness, and rethinking what success really means. Stay tuned!

In this Shortcast edition, Donald Miller, author of Building a StoryBrand, shares how applying storytelling principles can bring clarity, purpose, and momentum to your personal and professional life. Drawing from narrative theory, Donald explains how to see your life as a story—complete with a clear goal, supporting characters, and an inciting incident—and how productivity begins with the power of focus and finish. In this Shortcast, we explore: The Life-as-Story Framework: Donald outlines the classic storytelling structure and how it applies to real life: a character with a problem, a guide, a plan, and a call to action that leads to either success or failure. The Power of an Inciting Incident: We discuss how deliberately creating an inciting incident—like signing up for a marathon or making a public commitment—can push you into meaningful action. Designing the Ideal Workday: After battling writer's block, Donald took a road trip and absorbed every productivity audiobook he could, using what he learned to build a personalized, high-focus day planner. Focus and Finish: Donald explains how the two most important productivity principles are narrowing your focus and completing what you start—because only finished work makes an impact. Clearing the Clutter of Life's Script: By eliminating unnecessary “characters” and distractions from your life story, you can make space for the plot that actually matters. Donald's insights offer a unique, narrative-driven approach to productivity that helps you clarify your goals, trim the distractions, and finish what matters most.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the critical issue of student engagement in education. She highlights the findings from a recent Brookings Institution survey revealing that only one-third of children are enthusiastic about school by age 13, contrasting sharply with parents' perceptions. Dr. Kathy addresses the reasons behind children's boredom and disinterest in learning, emphasizing the importance of making education relevant and beneficial. She also explores how parents can respond to their children's frustrations with school, acknowledging that while some level of boredom can build resilience, it can also lead to a diminished love for learning. Tune in for valuable insights on fostering enthusiasm in education and maintaining a positive learning environment for children.

The world is obsessed with metrics and status. But the most important currency is the one you're missing.  Most of us spend our careers chasing validation – titles and paychecks. I did too. So did our guest Matt Emerzian. The brutal reality? Your job search misery, corporate culture complaints, and endless pursuit of status are all symptoms of the same disease:  The belief that mattering is something you find rather than something YOU make. Think this theoretical? Think again: Get Matt' 5 Frameworks to Make Your Life Matter I-You-We Framework: I Matter: Discover your uniqueness (there's only 1 of you among 8 billion!) You Matter: Make the 38,000 daily choices count by connecting first We Matter: Stop the self-help delusion - you're not on an island with a volleyball Brutal Time Audit: What truly matters to you?Check your calendar. The gap between these two answers is why you feel empty. Values as Weapons: When everything feels uncertain, non-negotiable values become your armor.  The Self-Talk Intervention: Your internal dialogue is the most revealing data point of your life. Most of us wouldn't speak to enemies the way we speak to ourselves. The Counterintuitive Path: The healing sequence is backwards: internal healing → relationship repair → serving others. Most get stuck at step one forever. Culture Ownership Test: Stop pointing at "toxic culture" as if it's over there. You ARE the culture.  Want to matter more? Start by making others matter more.   00:00 Intro 01:51 The Search for Meaning in Work 04:49 Matt's Journey to Finding Purpose 10:01 Understanding Mattering Beyond Clichés 14:34 Creating a Movement Around Mattering 22:11 Actionable Steps to Cultivate Mattering 26:03 The Power of Choice in Finding Meaning   Follow Matt: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-emerzian/ Website: https://www.matthewemerzian.com/ X: https://x.com/emerzian Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/matthewemerzian/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MEmerzian/   Like what you hear?  Subscribe and leave a 5-star review!  Suggest a topic or ask a question for me to answer on the show!  Want  FREE executive job search tips each week?

The podcast is called Finding Meaning. What does it mean then to find meaning?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tatjana Schnell, a leading researcher in the psychology of meaning, to talk about what it really means to live a meaningful life. We explore how people navigate existential crises, the different ways we construct meaning, and why the experience of belonging is so central to our well-being. This conversation is both intellectually rich and deeply human — a reflection on what keeps us going when things feel uncertain, empty, or directionless.Support the show

Guest: Erin Williams, LPC, PCA US Counselor, Plano campus   If you'd like to watch this podcast, check out the PCA YouTube page.   This is week two of a great conversation with Erin Williams about the book Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic - and What We Can Do About It by Jennifer Breheny Wallace. This book is a New York Times bestseller, but remember that it is written from the perspective of someone without a Biblical worldview. Wallace does raise some very profound and provocative questions that need to be answered, especially when the research says that 1 in 3 students may be impacted by what Wallace calls the “excessive pressure to achieve.”   Praying that you find this conversation insightful and practical. It is broken down into two episodes - the first episode was released last week.

Jamie Woolf is Co-Founder and CEO of Creativity Partners, a renowned innovation cultivator, speaker, and the first Director of Culture at Pixar Animation Studios where she has inspired thousands worldwide to embrace innovation as a catalyst for personal and organizational transformation. Mike Petrusky asks Jamie about her time at Pixar and they explore how physical environments and organizational culture can facilitate or hinder creative thinking and collaboration. Jamie believes that infusing play and creativity into the workplace can enhance problem-solving and overall well-being as we move away from a strict focus on efficiency and profitability. Good ideas can come from anyone, regardless of their position in the organization, and leaders should be curious and open to all ideas. Mike and Jamie discuss how the physical work environment can facilitate casual collisions and interactions between different departments to foster creativity and they offer the inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

Joining us from Missouri, USA is researcher and podcaster, Chance Garton. My favourite subject to read about is ancient history - in an attempt to figure out why we're here. The story of us humans is heavily influenced by myths and early religion, which I find fascinating. After listening to Chance's podcasts I wanted to talk to him as he's so knowledgeable on this subject. We go all over the map in this one - we even touch on Freemasonry. Very insightful and enjoyable chat with my man, Chance. Enjoy...

In episode 7 of season 5, I lecture on chapter 6 from the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I describe the Path-Goal leadership approach, highlight the basics of how Path-Goal theory works, and conclude with strengths and criticisms of the model. Before the lecture, I was joined by Elizabeth Eder Northern for the Living Leadership segment. Liz graduated from Trinity University in 2009 with a Bachelor's degree. As an undergrad, she double majored in Religion and math, was an three time National Qualifier on the cross country team, and took full advantage of all that Trinity has to offer. She was a true Renaissance person and embraced the university's Liberal Arts ethos. After leaving Trinity she completed a Master's degree at Penn State and has served as the longtime Director of Research at Tarrant County College (TCC). In addition to being recognized by the Fort Worth Business Press with 40 Under 40 Award, Liz was also named as one of the Trinity University Alumni Association Tower 5 Award recipients in 2019. In our conversation she talks about the importance of mentors and friends, both in terms of pushing her to achieve things she never would have dreamed of and for holding each other accountable. As a leader of a team at TCC, she details the importance of hiring for complementary skill sets, helping team members maximize their strengths, and finding meaning in the work. Liz describes why setting developmental goals is good, both for the individual and the organization, and why having a leader that trusts their followers is paramount. Liz and I also talk about her successful distance running career (which isn't over!). While her accomplishments as a distance runner are wildly impressive, I hope you'll agree that her leadership approach and philosophy make her the kind of person we'd all like to work and learn with. She is a great role model for leaders everywhere. I hope you enjoy our conversation. And please, drop us a note on LinkedIn - or send me a tweet (@TingleJK) - to let us know your Take Home.

On todays episode, I tackle the big question, in a life filled with struggle and suffering, where can we find meaning?

Then, I pick apart the Greek mythos Atlas and how this story reflects the human condition.

I chat with Rick Foerster, who shares his journey from a fast-paced tech career to one focused on family, creativity, and fulfillment. After twelve years at Privia Health, Rick took a sabbatical when the company went public. He used that time to reassess his priorities and shift from a work-centric identity to a multi-dimensional one. We discuss diversifying your identity and finding fulfillment beyond career success. We also explore the concept of ‘total addressable meaning,' how finding meaning is the ultimate form of wealth, navigating midlife crises and avoiding burnout. This episode is perfect for anyone going through a transition, curious about taking a sabbatical, or seeking a more meaningful life beyond work.

We are multidimensional beings, capable of molding our character at any stage in our life. Our identity is fluid and malleable, and we can continue to evolve and enhance it to realize our highest potential. Viktor Frankl had to learn how to master this, having lived in most of the 20th century, one of the more transformative periods in world history. This Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist is most known for being a Holocaust survivor, but in reality, his contributions to mental health and psychology are his true legacy. His seminal book, "Man's Search for Meaning," and logotherapy, a psychological approach centered on meaning creation, is rooted in his observations at the concentration camps, where he witnessed unthinkable cruelty and injustice. Frankl prioritized guiding people to find their deeper purpose in good and bad times. In the process, he discovered himself and crystallized his mission. To glean wisdom from Frankl's incredible life and work, I invited Alex Pattakos, Ph.D., affectionately nicknamed "Dr. Meaning." Alex is the co-founder of the Global Meaning Institute and co-creator of MEANINGology® —the study and practice of meaning in life, work, and society. A prolific author, he has written two international best-selling books on the human quest for meaning: The OPA! Way', inspired by Greek philosophy, mythology, and culture, and 'Prisoners of Our Thoughts', written at the personal urging of Viktor Frankl himself.
