5. The 'So What' Moment: A Plan Won't Make You Happy, But A Purpose Will

Ever hit every milestone you thought would make you happy… and still felt that quiet “so what?”

This week, we’re joined by Selena — born in Italy, lived in 7 countries, and now working in sales at Amazon — to unpack the moment she realised that a perfectly planned life still wasn’t a fulfilling one.

Together, we break down the difference between having a plan and having a purpose — and why chasing timelines won’t satisfy you if they’re not aligned with who you are at your core.

We get into the messy middle of it all: mental breakdowns, therapy, vulnerability, and the wake-up calls that force you to finally stop running on autopilot.


💭 TOP TAKEAWAYS

  • Why a perfect plan won’t make you happy if it lacks purpose

  • What it feels like to be out of alignment (and how to recognise it)

  • How self-awareness can rebuild your sense of direction

  • Letting go of timelines and choosing what actually matters

  • How purpose fuels motivation more sustainably than hustle ever could

If you’ve been chasing achievement without asking why — this one’s for you.
