Everyone has a unique purpose and mission in life. Not all individuals need to be entrepreneurs or creatives, because society also requires people with different skills and strengths. In this episode, we explore the journey of self-discovery and finding one's unique gifts, mission, and purpose. Hosts, Karen Doyle and Von Hosking are joined by guest, Joy Adan, to navigate and break down this topic further.

Joy Adan, a talented writer, calligrapher, and watercolor artist from Western Sydney, Australia, faced the pressure of living up to her sisters’ achievements. She initially pursued a media law degree but lacked the passion for it. Despite her professional success, she felt a void in her life; seeking counseling, she discovered the importance of creating something solely for herself. This led her to explore lettering and calligraphy, which gradually transformed into a business. Today, Joy hosts workshops, provides handmade gifts, and promotes community connection and positive mental well-being through her creative endeavors.

Together, they address the challenges faced by women who struggle to discover their gifts and talents. Recognizing the significance of identifying strengths and weaknesses, they emphasize the nurturing of one's creative abilities in all aspects of life, including parenting, professional endeavors, and everyday responsibilities. By engaging in self-reflection, utilizing creativity, and seeking support from others, women can unlock and embrace their gifts, ultimately leading to a gratifying and meaningful existence.
