237. When Good Isn’t Great: How Purpose Changes Everything with Elizabeth Dixon

Ever feel like you're drowning in good opportunities but missing what's truly great? This candid conversation with Elizabeth Dixon cuts through the confusion to reveal how defining your purpose transforms decision-making from overwhelming to crystal clear.

Elizabeth shares her powerful journey from wrestling with identity tied to career to discovering what truly matters. After months of silence from God and feeling directionless, she learned that surrender precedes breakthrough. This pattern would become a cornerstone of her purpose-driven approach to life's biggest decisions.

The most startling revelation? Only 25% of people can actually articulate their purpose. Without this clarity, we're left making decisions in what Elizabeth calls "a blender of confusion." Her practical framework helps define the difference between purpose (why you exist) and mission (what you do in each season), creating a filter that makes both big pivots and daily choices remarkably simpler.

For women balancing multiple roles, Elizabeth offers game-changing perspective. Rather than comparing yourself to others or believing you must do it all, she advocates knowing your unique calling and priorities. "You be you," as her father wisely advised. This might mean outsourcing tasks that don't bring joy, delegating to family members, or simply downgrading expectations in certain areas to protect what matters most.

Perhaps most liberating is her reframing of what it means to let go. "Letting go of what no longer fits isn't quitting—it's honoring your growth," she explains. When we understand our purpose, saying "not now" becomes an act of wisdom rather than weakness, protecting space for our best yes.

Ready to move from people-pleasing to purpose-driven? This episode will help you articulate what matters most so you can build a life your 80-year-old self will look back on with pride and joy.
