Ep.1 Own Your Story

Hi!

Welcome to the first episode of Find That Thing!!

This podcast is dedicated to helping you find that thing that you were made for in this world, the thing that drives you from the inside out and, brings you to life. I'm Emma Campbell, a Purpose Coach, mama, nature loving stubbornly optimistic dorky child at heart. Here you can expect juicy mindset bites, stories, silliness, seriousness and everything in between.

Today, we're going to start with full transparency ... for this first episode, I went to write my story/my podcast script and literally got distracted for a few MONTHS figuring out exactly what that was and, what would be beneficial in this space. Ultimately, like any good story, it started from a place of #struggletown.

I was in a job where I was suffering from epic anxiety. Everything looked all roses on the outside but, I was living in a place of fear. On the inside, something was missing. I knew I wasn’t doing what I was meant to be doing and more importantly, I knew I wasn’t living up to my ‘potential. Whatever the hell that was. All I knew was that I wanted to help people.

I had a dream to become a coach. But I also had a BIG OL’ limiting belief getting in the way. One that said 'You can’t do that! Who are you to think you are? You aren't this or that ... Squish that dream plz thx!'. And so I did for a good few years but the feeling never went away.

The thing with purpose is (and I know this sounds wanky) you don’t find it, it finds you. It comes from a place of struggle. I was still searching for my thing. And life started helping me out with finding it.

I got an offer from a purpose led business asking me to join them as they started a new business, focused on helping businesses become more purpose driven and create more fulfilling work. It took me 6 months to lean into my fear and go for it but fuck did life deliver once I made that decision.

That is when you know you’re on the right path. You are literally FILLED with energy and excitement. Its like this magic superpower comes upon you. I had never felt like my brain had buzzed so hard with ideas. I could not WAIT to start. And it was in that job where I had my eyes opened to power of purpose.

That’s when I saw that this was what was missing from so many workplaces and so many people’s lives.

After spending a lot of my life and childhood witnessing a lot of depression, anxiety and people being controlled by their fear, I realized that purpose had the power to cut through that bullshit. Because when you find your purpose, it’s the only thing bigger than fear. Purpose drives passion. Purpose leads to increased motivation, resilience and, purpose helps you connect with your real you.

It was in that process that I realized that was what I was here to do. That I had found my thing. MY purpose and passion. Since finding this, my anxiety has gone from a 9 to a 1. Plus I’m making more income, having more fun, working less and am more inspired than ever before!

My thing? To help you find yours. To unlock your real true self and what you’re here to do in this world. The path that brings out your truest, biggest and most real self. The self that feels like you.
