A short conversational transcript (YouTube) between James Laughlin and Rachel exploring how to live life 'on purpose.' Rachel emphasizes that purpose should be approached with playfulness—curiosity, experimentation, and lightness—rather than only weighty, fixed goals.
I'd like you to please join me for a moment and fast forward many, many years into the future. You are highly aware that it is your last day here on Earth. And someone very young, maybe under the age of 10, comes in to the room and says, rachel, how do I go about leading my life on purpose? What would you say to them?
The word that springs to me in that space is playful, which in a way sounds contrasting to purpose. But purpose can feel like quite a weight. You know, when people talk about find your purpose, find your why, follow your passion. You'd think as a career coach I'd be big into that. And for people that is exactly the right thing. But I think actually to live your life on purpose, you have to. And here's that word again. Be curious, be playful, be experimental, because things change, life evolves.
