In this episode I dive into a possible answer to the forever question of: "When will I ever meet my husband?" or "When will I find a man?" I personally and wholeheartedly feel that there are a group of women left out of a possible narrative that would be THEE answer. I believe following the path to your purpose will lead you to love. I talk about some women I've followed and admired over the years and I've noticed something each of their love stories have in common; all of them were well on their path towards their purpose. I know you're thinking "How do I know what my purpose is?" and no worries my friend I have a lead that will help you get there!
