The Connect With Purpose Project
Podcast
Join host Nicole Gottselig as she shares the journeys of people who have embraced their life mission and now live on purpose. Through authentic, bold stories of courage, risk, and inner transformation, these guests open up about their struggles and breakthroughs, offering you real-life inspiration to spark your own path to purpose.
You're here for a reason, even if you haven't uncovered it yet.
Connect With Purpose Podcast is about those moments when you stop saying no to yourself and yes to that inner voice that lights you up—no matter how bold or risky it feels.
Every episode shares the unfiltered versions of people who dared to take a leap. Because when you trust your passion, everything eventually conspires in your favour. You may have to work for it, however!
This isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about listening to the whispers inside, taking action, and discovering that your purpose is waiting for you on the other side of fear.
Because if you’re still here, there’s still time—and your purpose is always unfolding and there is no finish line to cross.
