You’re alive to be alive, not busy.

You’ve worked hard, followed the plan, done everything right, and done it well…

but you still feel unfulfilled and adrift in search of purpose.

Your current job is NOT IT…and you don’t know what “it” is.

Meanwhile your effort to “find your thing” is exceptionally difficult when you still value (and judge) yourself on what you do, produce or accomplish.


I’ve been there. Here’s what I’ve learned:

In your search for purpose, the obstacle isn’t just your work itself – it’s your relationship to it.

I’m Emily Pantel (she/her) –

I help overworked achievers stop proving themselves and cultivate purpose through being their authentic selves.

It’s time we dispel the myths we’ve internalized about what it takes to be successful, and find true fulfillment by embracing your uniqueness.

Fear that you’re not living up to your potential.

Fear that you’re wasting your life or falling behind.

Fear that your best isn’t good enough.

Fear that you’re disappointing people who support you.

Fear that you’re not special after all.

Feeling lost in search of purpose is the result of stress, anxiety and fear running the show.

If fear continues to call the shots, you’ll continue to feel aimless and adrift.

The key to finding “your thing” and feeling fulfilled at work isn’t any of the things you think you “should” do to be successful.

The real solution is transforming your relationship to your work altogether.

The price of should is too high, and you pay it in installments every time you make choices disconnected from who you are.

There is another way – yours.
