Living On Purpose with Tanya Dalton

Finding The Balance of Spontaneity and structure

In this Summer of Reading episode, hear from Tanya Dalton about her book, On Purpose.

Have you ever found yourself stuck when trying to imagine what you want the future to be? Maybe you couldn’t quite see beyond where you currently were. What did you do about it? This was the thought that led Tanya to write this book.

In this special hour-long episode, Tanya and I discuss the myth that the only way to reach goals is by packing your days full of the steps needed to take to get to the finish line. We also dive into feeling empowered to break the rules, especially as a woman, and we talk about what it means to truly live life on purpose.

Grab your headphones, get out your task list, and let’s learn about the power of balancing flexibility with commitment!

What’s in This Episode

  • Mapping your thoughts
  • Your backpack of ideas and how to unpack it
  • Finding the courage to say no
  • Time blocking that works
  • How she wrote her book
