161. Why You Can't Find Your Purpose: Quiet Grief, Identity Shifts & Clarity with Nicole O. Salmon4 Mar41 min

In this episode, Host Paola Soares sits down with author and Purpose Alignment Coach Nicole O. Salmon to unpack a surprising reason many women struggle to "find their purpose": quiet grief—the losses we move past but never truly mourn.

If you've been praying for clarity but still feel stuck, disoriented, or emotionally drained, this conversation will help you name what's really going on and take a healthy next step forward.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

How unprocessed grief can clog discernment and distort self-perception

Identity shifts that happen as you evolve (not because you failed)

Adult friendships that fade—and how to navigate relational grief with wisdom

Why purpose isn't a destination, but a lifestyle you live from

Simple ways to move from overthinking into aligned action

Nicole is a partner on the YouVersion Bible App and the author of Courage and Confidence: A Bold Guide to Unboxing Who You Were Created to Be.

If you feel called but confused, this episode will give you language, encouragement, and a clearer path forward.
