Episode 89: a conversation with author, coach, and speaker Tanya Prince and our podcast host, Mykelti Blum. Tanya shares about her newly released book, Designed for Purpose, which is a reflective guided journal to help us understand our purpose. She walks us through six categories of daily reading on which to reflect during our time with the Lord.

You will also hear a discussion on the question, “Can your purpose change throughout your life?” Additionally, Tanya shares about a season of discouragement she walked through and how that ultimately led her to pursuing her own purpose more fully. This conversation is so inspiring, and you are going to want to share it with a friend!
