Chasing Purpose

Your constant need to be right is costing you everything. Kathleen breaks down what winning looks like — people withdrawing, relationships emptying, love dying — and why every argument you win is a person you're losing.

This is about staying here, inside...

The small choices nobody sees that add up to a life that actually...

The world updated every operating system except love. We still follow the same script our parents followed and their parents before them.

We are fluent in what everyone else is doing wrong. We have zero interest in what we might be doing wrong.

The one sitting on the other side of every pattern you are exhausted from repeating. Chasing Purpose...

Love isn't what someone says to you — it's what they do. In this episode, Kathleen Conner breaks down love as a verb: past tense, present tense, future tense. The record, the practice, the intention.
