Am I passionate about the sector, or do I like this role? What is the difference between passion, life mission and talent?

And most importantly: how can I find my life mission?

These and other questions receive answers in this podcast episode of Shine Abroad.

Also, at the end of the episode, I share a powerful exercise on exploring your true calling.

This episode gives you a space for reflection and offers food for thoughts to review some biased certainties and have some ah-ha moments.

I also explore the pressure that we may feel to define our life mission.
