3-Minute Theory: Finding Your Purpose (When You Have No Clue)

This episode hit close to home.

It’s our personal favourite, as it’s the first one and very crucial to what we both experienced in our early 20s…

Asking what I am supposed to do/be?

We unpacked the myth of having one fixed purpose in life - and what to do when you're stuck, doubting yourself, or on the verge of giving up.

Here’s what we pulled from it - in 3 minutes, 3 angles, 1 insight.

MIND – Think

“You have to kill your old self to become the person you need to be.”

Purpose isn’t found in clarity - it’s found in change. The version of you chasing an old dream might not be equipped for your next one. Growth often starts with letting go of an identity you’ve outgrown.

BODY – Do

Try the “Micro-Experiment” Method:

Feel lost? Don’t overthink your calling - test it.

  • Book that class (tennis, jiu-jitsu, pottery - anything).

  • Don’t evaluate how good you are. Ask: Did I feel more like myself doing this?

Repeat weekly/monthly. This turns confusion into discovery through movement.

HEART – Feel

Ask Yourself:

“If I stopped caring what others expected of me, what would I try next?”

Purpose is a feeling, not a fact. Sometimes it shows up not in what you do, but in how aligned you feel while doing it.

A Piece of Us

Rupert: “Thirty. Feels strange to even write it. Not in a bad way, more like crossing a border you’ve seen on the map your whole life. And now you’re here, standing at the edge, eyes a little sharper.

There’s a calm I didn’t expect. More like an internal stillness. A steady hand on the wheel. The kind that says: you’ve made it this far, and not by accident.

But there’s grief, too, quiet and tucked in the corners. A version of me I’m leaving behind, one that ran hard, second-guessed everything, needed noise to feel alive. I’m not mourning it, just nodding to it as I go.

This week isn’t just candles It’s a checkpoint. A moment to pause, breathe, and step deliberately into the next chapter. Not to reinvent myself, but to live with more intent. Fewer apologies. More truth. Less chasing. More being.

Excited? Absolutely. But not for the spectacle, for the depth. For what’s ahead. For who I’m becoming.”


Konrad: “I was questioning myself: when was the last time I sat down with my journal and reflected on my goals? I make the same mistake year after year, I fill in the journal but never go back and read it.

I never celebrate my smallest wins. I just look for the next thing to achieve, to add under my belt. Why is it such a struggle to simply sit down and enjoy what I've done, to give myself a pat on the back?

Where am I running to? I'm running to die…”
