Finding Your Purpose: The Power of Inner Work & Breaking Free from Societal Norms with Dr. Margie Serrato

In this episode of Life Intended, host Kelly Berry welcomes Dr. Margie Serrato, an accomplished social justice advocate, cultural anthropologist, and coach. Dr. Margie shares her own journey of self-discovery and the importance of giving oneself permission to do what feels right. She emphasizes the need to get out of our heads and connect with our inner truth, which often gets suppressed by societal expectations.

Margie also discusses the process of uncovering one's purpose and the role of a coach in guiding individuals to find their own answers. Working on yourself and making positive changes can have a ripple effect on others, inspiring them to make changes as well. However, it's important to recognize that not everyone will be open to change, and it's not our responsibility to change them. We can only show up with love and compassion. Making personal changes is a continuous practice that requires effort and patience, but it can lead to a more intentional and purposeful life.
