Rewriting the Rules: Turning Passion into Purpose

Happy Monday Growth Club Community,

This month, we’re diving deeper into our theme, Purpose. If you haven’t yet, Check out this month’s blog post.

Today, let’s talk about something that often hides in the shadows: our passions. Those little hobbies we find joy in, the talents we keep tucked inside the four corners of our homes, the creative sparks that make our souls light up. What if these weren’t just pastimes? What if they were invitations, or rather, whispers from our deepest selves nudging us toward something greater?

For many of us, the thought of monetizing our passions brings up fear. We worry that if we turn what we love into work, we’ll lose our joy. That it will become another task on the never-ending to-do list, another obligation that drains rather than fulfills.

But what if that’s just an outdated belief? A program running in the background, telling us that “work” must be hard, exhausting, and painful to be valuable? What if we rewrote that narrative?

The truth is, when you merge passion with purpose, your work energizes you rather than depletes you.

I (Sana) remember when I first started sharing my insights publicly, it was terrifying. The fear of being judged by family and friends and the fear of losing my love for something I kept sacred, held me back for so long. But the nudge within never went away. So I started my podcast and the more I leaned into sharing my wisdom, the more I realized that my passions weren’t lost, they were amplified. Every time I showed up, I felt more aligned, more alive and through the process, I was able to connect with more likeminded people, which led to incredible opportunities and soulful friendships.

What if the same is true for you? The more you lean into sharing your passions, you get to step into alignment, into a flow where creation is effortless and fulfilling. Yes, there will be challenges. Yes, growth requires expansion and expansion requires discomfort. But what if the risk of staying small is greater than the risk of trying?

This week, I invite you to reflect: What is one passion I’ve kept hidden? And what would happen if I gave myself permission to explore it fully?

You don’t have to have all the answers. You don’t have to make it a business overnight. But you do owe it to yourself to listen to that spark and ask, What if?

I’d love to hear from you. Hit reply and tell me: what’s a passion you’ve been afraid to share with the world?

Our members will go deeper into discussing this month’s theme at our Purpose-Themed Dinner Party on March 16th and at our Purpose-Themed Learning Salon on March 31st to work on our Growth Track Challenge and share books, podcasts or modalities that have helped each of us embody purpose in our everyday life.
