A Blog That Lets You Decide the Ending on Purpose

Welcome to a new kind of blog experience. Today, you’ll choose your own path to discovering your purpose. Along the way, you’ll make decisions based on real moments from my journey. Every choice leads to a unique insight, just like life. As you read through each step, select either Choice A or Choice B to guide your path forward.


Good luck!



Step 1: The Crossroads of Reflection

You wake up knowing there's more out there for you, but you're not sure what that "more" is. It feels like a familiar uncertainty, much like when I left high school and didn't know where I belonged. You have two options for starting your day:




Step 2A: Reaching Out for Inspiration

You decide to contact someone who has made an impact on you. Just like I did when I reached out to mentors early in my career, seeking guidance on how to make a real difference. One mentor recommends a podcast about rediscovering your passion, while another invites you to an event later that night.

What do you do?




Step 2B: Reflecting on Your Journey

You sit down and think about moments in your life when you felt most fulfilled. This reminds me of how I realized my calling while working with at-risk teens in 2014. As you reflect, you remember an opportunity to volunteer at a local youth organization. Do you take action?




Step 3A: The Power of a Podcast

The podcast inspires you with this quote: “Your purpose is where your passion and the world’s needs meet.” It brings me back to when I first discovered Motivational Interviewing principles and saw the profound impact empathy could have. You start brainstorming ways to align your skills with what the world needs.


  • The End: You find clarity in aligning your passion with making a difference, just as I did when founding Speak4MC.



Step 3B: The Energy of Connection

At the event, you meet someone who shares your drive for positive change. Like the moment I first presented the C.A.P.E. approach to over 200 teenagers, the connection feels powerful. This person offers you an opportunity to collaborate on a meaningful project.


  • The End: You realize the importance of connection and collaboration in finding your purpose, mirroring my journey in working with agencies like Eckerd and BAYS.



Step 3C: Volunteering with a Purpose

You volunteer, and on your first day, you help a young person feel seen and heard—much like when I worked with that teen who had lost hope. You feel a deep sense of fulfillment in giving back.


  • The End: You discover that serving others is the key to unlocking your purpose, just as I did when I saw how empathy could transform lives.



Step 3D: Digging Deeper into Your Story

As you continue to reflect, you realize that your purpose is evolving—much like my discovery that change without purpose is no better than staying the same. This insight gives you a sense of peace, knowing that purpose is not fixed, but a journey.


  • The End: You embrace the journey of purpose, understanding that it grows with you over time, just as mine did from CNA to founding Speak4MC.


No matter which path you took, each decision brought you closer to discovering a deeper sense of purpose. Like my journey, your path will have its ups and downs, but with the right mindset, you can turn every moment into a stepping stone toward positive change.


What did you learn from your choices, and how will you apply them moving forward? Let’s continue the conversation—share your thoughts, and I’ll send the first three commenters a free copy of my book!
