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.

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.

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.

In this deeply moving and inspiring conversation, we welcome Dr. Dashia, whose extraordinary life journey embodies resilience in its purest form. From growing up in the Miami projects to surviving 72 different foster homes, Dr. Dashia's path to becoming a multiple PhD holder and purpose coach defies all expectations.Dr. Dashia opens up about her childhood, raised by her grandmother until circumstances forced her into the foster care system. With raw honesty, she shares how the most significant trauma often came not from her original home but from experiences within foster care. Yet through it all, education became her sanctuary and salvation—a place where she received consistent meals, positive attention, and recognition for her natural academic abilities.The conversation takes a powerful turn as Dr. Dashia reveals how a pivotal relationship with her elementary school principal opened her eyes to possibilities beyond her circumstances. This mentor took her under her wing, even having her spend a summer at her home, exposing her to a world she hadn't known existed. This experience planted the seed that a different life was possible.What makes Dr. Dashia's story particularly remarkable is not just her survival but her extraordinary achievement—earning seven college degrees including two PhDs, becoming the youngest teacher in her state, and later the youngest principal in her county. Yet despite these accomplishments, she found herself at age 29 successful by external standards but deeply unfulfilled.This crisis of purpose led to the creation of "She's On Purpose," her business dedicated to helping women crush limiting beliefs and discover their authentic purpose. Her philosophy is captured in her original quote: "Speak what you seek until you see what you said"—a powerful reminder that visualization and verbalization are crucial steps toward manifestation.Ready to transform your relationship with yourself? Visit drdashia.com to discover resources that can help you recognize your inherent value and live authentically in your purpose. Because as Dr. Dashia would say, you're already the SHIT—Self-sufficient, Hardworking, Innovative, and Triumphant. The power is already within you.Thank you for stopping by.

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.

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.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from my own journey - “Sometimes it's a whisper to change how you work or how you live. It's not like ambition or ego or what the world tells us we should want. The purpose impulse is something deeper. It's innate. It's the voice of your spirit calling you back into alignment with who you really are. And while it may be quiet at first, it's persistent. If you ignore it, it doesn't disappear. It waits. It returns. It taps you on your shoulder, so to speak, whispering, this isn't it. There's something more.” You know that moment when everything on paper looks great - your career, your accomplishments, your life - and yet something inside still feels off? In this solo episode, I'm naming that feeling. I call it the purpose impulse, and I share my own story of how it showed up for me years ago while working in child protective services. It was quiet at first, but eventually, it became impossible to ignore. I'll walk you through what it feels like, why it matters, and how it could be guiding you toward something deeply real and meaningful in your own life. I also share a powerful moment that changed everything for me - a moment that helped me recognize that the path I was on no longer fit, even though it looked right from the outside. If you've ever felt like you're going through the motions, even while succeeding, this conversation is for you. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll learn how to recognize the subtle signs that you're out of alignment, even when everything looks “fine.” You'll hear a deeply personal story that helps explain what the purpose impulse really feels like, and why it matters. You'll get a simple, reflective question to help you reconnect with what your inner voice has been trying to tell you.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Tara Landes. She says – “I think once you've reached that pinnacle or if you're feeling like it's, it's empty or it's not enough, or even if you haven't reached the pinnacle but you're feeling somewhat unfulfilled, I really think that we're social creatures, and we have to find others to share that journey and passion with. Whatever it is, I just I really think that that's what kinda gets missed. We get so caught up on measuring success in terms of money or promotions. And so, really, I think if you're feeling a lack of purpose and a lack of passion, it's time to reach out into the community and find a way to be of service. You'll get way more back than you ever put in.” Tara Landes is the founder of BellRock Benchmark Inc., a Canadian management consulting firm that helps business leaders solve their most challenging problems and implement lasting organizational change. After years of working with small businesses across North America, she returned to her hometown of Vancouver, only to realize that the job she wanted didn't exist - so she built it herself. Drawing from both psychology and business management, Tara has become a trusted advisor to over 300 small business leaders. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear how one woman turned a career crossroads into a thriving consulting business, without having a “perfect plan” in place.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Laura Zavelson. She says – “My advice or my thought would be if you have any interest in entrepreneurship or any seed of an idea, honor that and explore it because there are a lot of different paths your life can take, and there are ways to derisk entrepreneurship and make it more of a calculated risk rather than something, you know, you're just jumping into the unknown. And especially if you have experience in networking and you're a natural leader like the women you described. But if there's a group of people you'd like to help and a problem that you can solve, there are ways to explore that that can help reduce the risk. And you might unlock some real freedom for yourself to do something that lights you up.” Laura Zavelson is an MBA, a self-described corporate finance escapee turned serial entrepreneur, former professor of entrepreneurship, and business strategist. She helps Gen Xers - especially women - who've been laid off, pushed out, or burned out, turn their hard-earned experience into thriving coaching, consulting, or expert-based businesses. With 25 years of entrepreneurial experience behind her, Laura is committed to helping women create financial stability, flexibility, and freedom in their next chapter. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: If you're a high-achieving woman in transition, Laura shares practical and relatable advice for starting something new - even if it's been a while since you tried. You'll learn why your career experience is more valuable than you think, and how it can be the foundation for a business that supports your life and values. Laura offers thoughtful encouragement for anyone who's ever wondered, “Do I really have something to offer?” (Spoiler: Yes, you absolutely do.)

Recorded one of the most powerful conversations I've ever been a part of last week
This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Sabine Schoepke. She says: “My biggest advice is don't try to get all of the answers. Like, do one tiny little step at a time. Take inventory of, okay, what's feeling good? What's feeling good for me physically and what's not? Change that. Because I really do believe that our feelings are our superpower, are the greatest power that we have. The feelings that are good and the feelings that don't feel good because they show us what's not right. So check-in. Take little steps into the directions that feel good and take a step back from the ones that don't feel good. And you will see that when you take little steps, the next one is gonna present itself. Things are gonna magically fall into place or show up in your life when it's like, oh, wow. So it doesn't need big leaps, and it doesn't need all of the answers. Don't wait for that. Take initiative, take inventory, and take action.” Sabine Schoepke is a dynamic entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience now dedicated to helping others redefine midlife and create aligned financial freedom. A trailblazer and disruptor, Sabine sold her latest company and retired at 51, shifting her focus to guiding others. Her journey spans seven businesses, a best-selling book, and professional bodybuilding, all of which fuel her unique, authentic coaching style. She empowers clients to embrace true success, grounded in alignment, purpose, and joy.

Sometimes I make strategic career-related connections.Sometimes a former colleague or friend just makes sense to connect.Sometimes, however, I see someone I don't know at all - but resonate with absolutely everything in their headline and think, “This is someone I should probably connect with.”If for no other reason than to learn something interesting and make connections with like-minded individuals.(Plus, you never know where one conversation will lead)Which is exactly what happened when Purpose Coach, Jessica O'Kane, and I connected.Her bio caught my eye: “Purpose Coach.

This week's “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from my own journey - “After I made the decision to start moving toward alignment with my authentic self, the world felt brighter, felt lighter. I felt energized because for the first time, I was moving towards something that reflected who I really was. And even though I didn't know exactly what the future looked like and had hope, and I felt excited about what was next, even though I didn't have it all figured out. That's what alignment feels like. It doesn't require certainty, and it brings peace.” In this episode, I wrap up my special three-part series for high-achieving women leaders who are starting to realize that success alone isn't enough. In part one, I shared the story of the moment I knew I wanted my work to make a difference. In part two, I talked about the hidden cost of staying out of alignment with your authentic self. And now, in part three, I'm answering the question: How do I even start aligning my success with my true purpose? Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: Learn why you don't need a five-year plan to start moving toward your true purpose — you just need the next step. Find out how reconnecting with your authentic self can shift your energy, bringing clarity and peace even when you don't have everything figured out. Discover how to begin making purpose-aligned decisions that reflect who you really are, so you can be both successful and fulfilled.

This week's How She Finds Purpose insight comes from my own journey. I once believed that staying in a “good job” meant I was doing the right thing - even when I felt drained, disconnected, and unfulfilled. But I've learned that staying stuck comes at a cost. "Every day, you ignore that inner voice. Every day, you tell yourself, well, this is just how it is, you are risking more than you realize. You are risking your health. You are risking your energy. You are risking your joy. You are risking your creativity, the spark that makes you feel alive, and you're risking the impact you were actually meant to make." In this second episode of my special three-part series, I'm breaking down what you're really risking when you stay in a role or life that no longer fits. If you've ever felt the Sunday night dread, if you've ever told yourself, “This is just how it is,” then this episode is for you. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll learn why staying out of alignment isn't as “safe” as it seems, and what it's actually costing you. I'll share how I recognized my own misalignment, so you can start identifying it in your own life. You'll hear how to recognize the difference between exhaustion from overwork and exhaustion from being disconnected from your true purpose. Here is the link to register for my free live online workshop on March 18.
