How To Reconnect With Your True Self & Live With Purpose with Kirsty Gallagher
Listen on
Many of us are so busy keeping up with life, that we forget to check in with ourselves. We follow the rules, meet expectations and strive for success – yet still feel disconnected, stuck or unfulfilled. True purpose can feel elusive, like something we’re always searching for but never quite finding.
This week, I’m joined by Kirsty Gallagher to explore how reconnecting with who you truly are can lead to a life of greater meaning, alignment, and joy. Kirsty is a renowned meditation and yoga teacher, a spiritual coach, and Sunday Times bestselling author of several books – including her latest, Your Cosmic Purpose.
In our conversation, we discuss:
- Why your true purpose is to be yourself, not to chase status, success or approval
- How to start listening to your own truth, even if you’ve spent a lifetime tuning in to everyone else’s
- Why spending time in stillness is so important
- The role of discomfort and “internal conflict” as signs you’re out of alignment
- Why trusting the timing of your life is essential and how your most painful experiences may be guiding you to greater clarity and purpose
- The importance of celebrating your progress
- How to reclaim your power by learning to make conscious, intentional choices – even when you are unable to change your external circumstances
Throughout this conversation, Kirsty shares stories from her own journey, from corporate burnout to spiritual awakening, and offers practical tools to help you reconnect with the part of you that already knows the way.
This conversation may feel a little different from others I have had on this podcast. It leans more into the emotional and spiritual aspects of health and healing, but if you listen with an open heart and mind, I truly believe there is something in it for everyone.
At its core, it’s a powerful reminder that you are the expert of your own life. Your truth matters. Your voice matters. And your purpose, however small or quiet it may seem right now, is already within you.
“The more you can become who you authentically and truly are, the more you will then live a life of purpose.”
