It is natural to reach a point in your life where you wonder why you are here.
Your life purpose is not something you chase or can purchase. It is the essence already alive within you. And every life event, every challenge and every blessing has been orchestrated by your soul to shape, remember and refine it.
This reflection comes from my own medicine-making years: a combination of the seasons when life dismantled me in order to reveal what I came here to do, and the plight of the many women I have guided on their own journey of Becoming.
The only thing that truly matters is your essence.
As way-showers, we are placed on this earth in very specific circumstances. To walk through and overcome the hardships - heartache, loss and betrayals. These are the fires that forge us, and are how we eventually become strong enough to shine our light through the heavy walls of this world.
The darkest most difficult times are divinely designed to bring us to our knees and then, raise us up - if we’ll allow it. I call these our medicine-making years: our time of remembering, transmuting, strengthening and awakening.
When you can learn to master these initiations, make peace with what has been and bring forth the lessons, this is you embodying your soul purpose.
A Higher Perspective on Life Events
In the early stages of my awakening, I was guided back through all of my significant life events, and shown by Spirit that these initiations were designed specifically by my soul for its expansion.
Certain people and situations arrive into your life bringing experiences of confusion, despair and struggle. And these lessons will return again and again to call you into your power and medicine.
When you can establish a foundation of calm anchorage and cultivate self-leadership, you will then able to dissolve the fear, stories and obstacles on your path and move forward with confidence and faith.Raising your vibration and your viewpoint are key in activating your purpose.
The Importance of Stillness
Stillness is an important layer to support you to be purposeful in your daily life - through meditation, rest and reflection. When you can create calm and spaciousness, your higher aspects can actualise here on earth, just as you did.
I have learned throughout my journey, that the more stillness, peace and acceptance you can find, the more grace you will embody through awareness and presence - the more radiant your light will become.
The path of purpose requires you to listen and move when you are called - into curiosity, presence, joy and beauty. Even when the nudges make no sense. I can assure you that most of the time, they won’t.
All of the events and lessons that defied logic, that stretched me far beyond what I knew myself to be, taught me to return inward - to stillness, resilience and helped me forge this path with grace.
This post is your invitation to not stay stuck in your past, or held back by your wounds or your struggles. It is your sign to transmute any resistance into resilience, your losses into lessons and your deepest pain into medicine.
To accept that you have done the work and it is time to claim your seat at the table. To reconcile your life, make peace with your past and with where you are right now.
Steps are being revealed to you currently. And you are being called to find space and stillness in order to receive them.
How The Components of Soul Purpose Arrive
Purpose is the way you were born to move through this world. And the way to find your version is through finding stillness in your daily life, even for just 15 minutes.
When you can sit still and truly listen, you will receive the whispers from God, from Source, or from Spirit. So stay the course, ignore the multitude of distractions and keep remembering.
Spend time in your own energy. Get to know yourself - your needs, your energy and your human design. Reflect on your strengths, your gifts and your truths. When you can intimately know yourself, you align more closely with your soul blueprint and purpose.
I remember feeling like a breadcrumb girl for the first years after my awakening, following subtle feelings, hunches and curiosities. The more I relinquished control and surrendered, the more soft and open I became in order to understand and to receive.
This is why mindful presence and connection matter. Harnessing your energy, being more intentional with your thoughts, discerning where you focus your energy and raising your vibrational frequencies are all possible once you get good at this.
The more calmly anchored you are and the more softly open you allow yourself to be, the more smoothly your path will unfold. And the more deeply you will come to know yourself.
The Art of Receivership
Receivership is not something you do, it is a frequency you embody.
It is the inner state that forms when you stop trying to manage how life should unfold and instead become available to what is already rearranging itself beneath the surface.
This does not mean being passive or relinquishing your control. It means releasing the habit of predicting, forcing or bargaining with the future, and choosing to meet the moment with presence instead.
The most meaningful shifts in my own life did not arrive through striving, but through these quieter seasons, when I loosened my grip just enough to let what was meant for me find its way.
And for the highly feminine here, know this - we are not at a disadvantage. When we move into a state of receptivity, we align with the masculine structure of the universe - which is always at our service, giving us everything we ask for - wanted or otherwise.
So rather than asking how to make things happen, I reflect on these questions:
What feels honest to offer right now?
What is asking to move through me rather than be pushed into place?
What does the life I am becoming actually feel like?
Receivership is not about waiting for answers, it is about becoming the place where answers can land.
The Light Bringers Path
Everything I have overcome and realised in my life has been in service to this path - to chain-breaking, light-bringing and way-showing.
You may be the first in your lineage to walk this way, as I have been. When you are the first, there is no existing path to follow. That is why it can feel hard or disorienting at times, not because you are lost, but because you came here to build the way forward.
That kind of calling asks for courage, clarity and a willingness to trust your own becoming.
The work I share is shaped by this understanding. It is not about giving you a formula, but about helping you remember your own version of the path - and to retain your soul sovereignty as you walk it.
I share tools and reflections because I know how important it is to feel accompanied while you are finding your way. We were never meant to do this in isolation - it takes community.
An Invitation For This Chapter Of Your Life
In order to actualise your purpose, you need to heal your wounds, cleanse and strengthen the relationship you have with yourself and open your channels of receiving.
Gifts and wisdom are ready to incarnate within you. Old parts of you are ready to transmute. It is important for you to know that what you have lived until now has not been random - it has been shaping the medicine you carry.
My work exists to support this threshold - to help you reconcile your life, alchemise your medicine and see with higher clarity, so you can create a life that supports your energy, nurtures your gifts and blesses the lives you touch.
If these words have stirred something quiet and true within you, you are welcome to continue this journey with me over on Substack, where I share deeper reflections on soul purpose, self-trust and the art of becoming a guiding light in your own life.
With love,
Olivia.

I really appreciate your emphasis on how discovering our soul purpose is a 'practical guide' that profoundly impacts daily life, not just a lofty ideal. This resonates deeply, as understanding one's true path often requires introspection and tools for deeper self-awareness, aligning with the Ikigai principles you mentioned. For those seeking additional perspectives in this journey of self-discovery, exploring resources that offer guidance on your soul's journey can be incredibly insightful.
