In this new series within Knowing is Knowing, we dive into the deeper questions of purpose and direction. The Calling explores the quiet nudges, the struggles that shape us, and the defining moments that point us toward who we’re meant to be. Through honest reflection and raw conversations, we uncover how “the call” shows up in different seasons of life — and what it really takes to answer it.

This episode is full of actionable advice and genuine insight for anyone stepping into the workforce, making a transition, or simply trying to align their career with their values.

In this episode, I open up about my recent procedure and the surprising reflections that came with it. Facing vulnerability brought me to the heart of the happiness paradox: the more we chase happiness directly, the more it slips away. Instead, happiness often comes in the quiet moments of acceptance, connection, and living fully—even when life feels uncertain.

I talk about what it means to wrestle with fear, control, and trust in God, and how moments of pain can point us back to gratitude and fulfillment. This isn’t about having the perfect mindset, but about learning how to be present when life feels fragile.

If you’ve ever felt like joy and peace are just out of reach, this conversation is for you.
