Your Life in One Word? This Could Change Everything | Erin Weed

Somewhere in the last few years, a lot of us started asking a version of the same question: who am I now, and what am I actually here to do? The answers don't come from a quiz or a vision board. But they just might come from the one word that has been running your life all along, whether you knew it or not.

Erin Weed is a speaker coach, keynote speaker, and the creator of the Dig, a purpose-excavation method she has used with over a thousand leaders, founders, and changemakers across every stage of life and reinvention. Her new book, Just One Word: The Surprisingly Simple Method to Discover Your Purpose and Unleash Your Power, is the culmination of that work. She also spent over a decade as head speaker coach for TEDxBoulder, helping people find the one true thing they need to say and the courage to say it.

In this conversation, you get to watch the Dig happen in real time, because Jonathan sits down in the chair and lets Erin guide him through the full process.

What you will explore:

What the Dig is and why close to 100% of people who think they know their word are actually wrong
How your life story, all of it, from childhood to present day, contains a 10-word operating system that explains exactly how you tick
Why your deepest violations, the things that make you genuinely angry, point directly toward your core word
The difference between the word you think defines you and the one that actually does
How knowing your word changes the way you make decisions, support the people you love, and build the things that matter most to you
What Jonathan's word turned out to be, and the moment in the conversation where it landed

If you have ever felt like you were circling your purpose without quite landing on it, this conversation is for you.

Next week, we're sharing our conversation with Dr. Lucy Hone to talk about something most of us are carrying without ever calling it what it is: the grief that comes without a funeral, the losses that do not count as real loss in our culture but may be driving more of our suffering than we know.
