185. Why You Can't Figure Out Your Purpose by Thinking About It
Episode 185
Thursday, 22 January, 2026

Ayurvedic practitioner and author Heather Grzych explores why so many people feel stuck asking "What's my purpose in life?" – and why thinking harder rarely brings clarity. Drawing on embodied wisdom, Ayurveda, and cultural storytelling, Heather explains how purpose isn't a mental decision but a bodily signal that emerges when we stop forcing answers. Using contrasting film characters like Billy Elliot and Black Swan, she shows how listening to physical cues like energy, ease, and aliveness leads to meaningful direction, while ignoring the body leads to burnout and confusion. This episode is for anyone questioning their career, identity, or life direction and wondering why what once made sense no longer feels right. Heather Grzych, ADLC is an American author and expert in Ayurvedic medicine who was formerly the president of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association and the head of product development for a multi-billion-dollar health insurance company. Heather's first book, The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility, has sold thousands of copies worldwide, and her writing has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Yoga Journal, and the Sunday Independent.
