This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin– “Here's the truth. When you feel restless, drained, or disconnected, it doesn't mean you failed. It means your soul is waving a flag. It's waving a flag saying it's time to realign.” In this solo episode, I share a personal story about a time when an unexpected three-month assignment at a nonprofit completely changed how I saw my work — and myself. It was during that experience that I felt alive and aligned like never before. And when it ended, I realized I couldn't ignore the feeling that something was missing. That moment was the beginning of my journey toward purposeful work. I'm a college professor, speaker, author, and coach, and I help high-achieving women close the gap between success and fulfillment so they can live and work with more purpose. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll start to recognize the signs that you might be in a purpose gap, even if your career looks great on the outside. You'll hear why your wake-up call — whatever it looks like — might be the signal you need to realign with work that truly fits who you are. You'll get a journaling prompt you can use right away to start making sense of your own crossroads and what your next step could be.

What does it really take to spark a movement in your parish? Small groups are both easier—and more challenging—than we think. They're not sustained by participants or materials alone, but by vision, culture, and structure. In this episode, I share why small groups can be pandemic-proof, recession-proof, even persecution-proof—if they're rooted in mission, shaped by a culture of accompaniment, and supported by strong leadership structures. Discover how to build small groups that don't just care for those inside the room, but expand outward to transform your parish and beyond.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. “When the work strips away your sense of self, no promotion or paycheck will ever make it worth it. Success that erases you, who you really are, is not success at all.” In this solo episode, I open up about a pivotal moment in my own career — a time when everything looked “perfect” on the outside, but felt completely wrong on the inside. I tell the story of a job that seemed impressive on paper but was quietly draining the life out of me. From unexpected physical symptoms to a chance encounter with a grieving customer, I started to see the signs that I was living in what I now call the purpose gap — the space between who you truly are and how you're showing up in your career. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll learn what the “purpose gap” is and how to spot it in your own work life. You'll hear how physical and emotional signs might be pointing to a deeper misalignment in your career. You'll be reminded that even tiny moments of clarity — like one honest question in your parked car — can lead to powerful shifts.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from me, Dr. Robin. I say — “This is what I know to be true. Your uniqueness isn't optional. It's the key to your fulfillment, to your purpose, to your impact.” Welcome to Season Six of Leadership Purpose. In this solo episode, I'm kicking off a whole new chapter — not just for this podcast, but for what I'm now calling the PurposeMAKER movement. After decades of experience, research, and lived moments of misalignment, I discovered something I wish every high-achieving woman knew: fulfillment doesn't come from chasing purpose — it comes from expressing your own uniqueness. This episode introduces a powerful concept I call the purpose gap and how closing it can bring more joy, meaning, and clarity into your life and work. I'm Dr. Robin, a college professor, author, and purpose coach — and in this episode, I'm sharing the real story behind how I uncovered the purpose gap, what it looks like in everyday life, and what it takes to finally feel aligned again. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You've reached success but it still feels hollow, and you're wondering why it's not enough You're starting to question your career path and want a better way to find clarity and fulfillment You want to learn a practical way to live and work in alignment with your true self — without blowing up your whole life Connect with me at: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinlowensphd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robinlowensphd Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/robinlowensphd/ Email: Robin@LeadershipPurposePodcast.com   Would you prefer to watch or listen to the podcast on YouTube?Head on over to https://www.youtube.com/@leadershippurposepodcast Thank you for listening!

You've done everything right. You've built the career, earned the recognition, checked all the boxes — and yet, deep down, something still feels… off. It's subtle. Hard to name. But it's there — the quiet space between your success and your sense of fulfillment. That's what I call the Purpose Gap. In Season Six of Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, we're exploring what the Purpose Gap is, why it happens, and how to close it — so you can create a life and work that truly reflect who you are. Through powerful conversations with high-achieving women, you'll hear real stories of turning points — moments where they stopped following someone else's definition of success and started making aligned choices that brought more meaning and authenticity into their leadership, careers, and lives. Many of us are searching for our purpose, hoping to discover the path that will bring us meaning and fulfillment. But what if your purpose isn't something you have to find out there? What if it's already within you — waiting to be expressed? That's the heart of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy: Your purpose isn't something you find. It's something you express by living fully as who you are. If you've ever achieved the title, earned the promotion, or reached the milestone but still felt inner unfulfillment or disconnect, this season is for you. It's your invitation to understand what's been missing, to close the Purpose Gap, and to step into more profound meaning, true purpose, and lasting fulfillment in your life and work.   Would you prefer to watch or listen to the podcast on YouTube?Head on over to https://www.youtube.com/@leadershippurposepodcast   Want to connect? Connect with Dr. Robin on  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinlowensphd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robinlowensphd Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/robinlowensphd/ Email: Robin@LeadershipPurposePodcast.com   Thank you for listening!

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from me. I say – “Letting go of the old you isn't about losing yourself. It's about freeing yourself and becoming who you are today. Because the truth is, you're not meant to stay the same. You're meant to grow. You're meant to change. You're meant to keep becoming. And this is a major milestone on your path to true purpose and fulfillment.” Ever find yourself clinging to a version of you that just doesn't fit anymore? In this solo episode, I'm sharing the signs that you might be wearing the “old you” and what it really means to grow into the person you are today. I talk about the outdated roles, habits, and identities we often hold onto—and how freeing it can feel to finally let them go. If you've been feeling like something's off or you're on the edge of burnout, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways we stay stuck in the past, and I offer a simple mindset shift that can open up space for more joy, more purpose, and more alignment in your life and work. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll learn six signs you might be holding onto an identity that no longer reflects who you are today. You'll get practical, honest examples from my own journey to help you spot where you might be stuck. You'll feel empowered to release what no longer fits and step more fully into the version of yourself you're becoming.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Kohila Sivas. She says – “We wear all the shoulds, and then we become empty. And then we ask, why am I empty? I did everything right. I'm still feeling empty. That's because your soul, you haven't considered this soul. So if you're successful, that's what I would look at. We are a product of an education system, a society that made us believe that you have to do this. You should do this. You need to produce this way. You need to perform. Like, performance is everything. If you're not performing, you you must be really bad at your life. We're always measured by performance. I think we need to replace that with we just need to be present.” Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear how a near-tragic experience at age 12 became the turning point that shaped her mission and her life's purpose. You'll discover why performance and “checking boxes” leave so many women unfulfilled, and what to focus on instead. You'll learn how presence, alignment, and honoring your soul can help you move past burnout and toward meaningful, purpose-driven work. Kohila Sivas is a visionary educator and learning success coach who created the Holistic Neuro-Growth Method, a groundbreaking approach that helps children, families, and now adults heal from burnout, overwhelm, and disconnection.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Neri Karra Sillaman. She says – “It is never about you. All the entrepreneurs I talk to, that's the most surprising element. When they were building the businesses, it was never about them. They never thought of themselves as the sun in the middle, and they are this leader that is shining out their intelligence and benevolence to others, but they are thinking of others first. And that's what creates business longevity.” Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear how Neri made the bold decision to walk away from a successful family business to pursue what really lit her up—and the moment she knew it was time. You'll learn why so many immigrant entrepreneurs build businesses that last, and how those same principles can apply to your life and work. You'll get real insight into what it means to live with purpose, even when it means going against expectations and choosing yourself. Born in communist Bulgaria and once a refugee living in a tent, Neri shares how education became her North Star, how she built a global luxury goods brand with her family, and why stepping away from it all led her to the work she was truly meant to do. Neri Karra Sillaman is a globally recognized entrepreneur, author, and advisor to leaders worldwide.

CEO turnover across U.S. hospitals is accelerating. Hospitals and health systems announced 146 CEO changes in 2023—a 42% increase over the 103 exits recorded in 2022, according to a Challenger, Gray & Christmas report. As more leaders transition into new roles, the importance of making a good first impression has intensified. The early days of a hospital CEO's tenure can define their long-term effectiveness.

Together, they reflect on key lessons from their 90-Day CEO series, built on interviews with hospital leaders nationwide.Key Takeaways from the Episode:Symbolism Matters: Small, visible actions—like replacing mattresses or rounding on holidays—can signal deep values and create lasting goodwill.Listen First, Act Intentionally: The best leaders don't rush decisions. They prioritize trust-building, cultural alignment, and understanding root issues before implementing change.Relationships Are Career Insurance: Leaders must proactively maintain professional relationships—even when secure—to weather transitions and drive long-term success.Neill Marshall is a veteran healthcare executive search leader with nearly 30 years of experience and over 600 senior-level placements.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Dr. Lynise Green. She says – “Figure out a way to just take a beat, take a pause, and really just see yourself. Where are you in your life? How do you fit into your life? And I think, again, that comes back to that being aligned with your values and your purpose. Because I think when we lose that alignment, that's when we lose ourselves in in our own story.” Dr. Lynise Green is a wellness leadership consultant who helps high-achieving women reclaim the parts of themselves they've put on pause while trying to keep everything else going. For years, she was the go-to person—juggling career, family, and everyone's needs but her own. On the outside, she had it all together. On the inside, she was burnt out and deeply disconnected from herself. In this episode, she opens up about her career in engineering, repeated cycles of burnout, and how those hard lessons helped shape the purposeful work she does today. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear what burnout can really look like—even when everything seems fine from the outside. You'll discover how to spot early warning signs that you're slipping out of alignment with your purpose—before it turns into a full-blown crisis. You'll walk away with a clear reminder that there is a different way to lead and live—one that honors both your ambition and your well-being.
