This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from me, Dr. Robin. I say —
“This is what I know to be true. Your uniqueness isn't optional. It's the key to your fulfillment, to your purpose, to your impact.”

Welcome to Season Six of Leadership Purpose. In this solo episode, I’m kicking off a whole new chapter — not just for this podcast, but for what I’m now calling the PurposeMAKER movement. After decades of experience, research, and lived moments of misalignment, I discovered something I wish every high-achieving woman knew: fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing purpose — it comes from expressing your own uniqueness. This episode introduces a powerful concept I call the purpose gap and how closing it can bring more joy, meaning, and clarity into your life and work.

I’m Dr. Robin, a college professor, author, and purpose coach — and in this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind how I uncovered the purpose gap, what it looks like in everyday life, and what it takes to finally feel aligned again.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You’ve reached success but it still feels hollow, and you’re wondering why it’s not enough

• You’re starting to question your career path and want a better way to find clarity and fulfillment

• You want to learn a practical way to live and work in alignment with your true self — without blowing up your whole life

You’ve done everything right. You’ve built the career, earned the recognition, checked all the boxes — and yet, deep down, something still feels… off.

It’s subtle. Hard to name. But it’s there — the quiet space between your success and your sense of fulfillment. That’s what I call the Purpose Gap.

In Season Six of Leadership Purpose with Dr. Robin, we’re exploring what the Purpose Gap is, why it happens, and how to close it — so you can create a life and work that truly reflect who you are.

Through powerful conversations with high-achieving women, you’ll hear real stories of turning points — moments where they stopped following someone else’s definition of success and started making aligned choices that brought more meaning and authenticity into their leadership, careers, and lives.

Many of us are searching for our purpose, hoping to discover the path that will bring us meaning and fulfillment. But what if your purpose isn’t something you have to find out there? What if it’s already within you — waiting to be expressed?

That’s the heart of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy:
Your purpose isn’t something you find. It’s something you express by living fully as who you are.

If you’ve ever achieved the title, earned the promotion, or reached the milestone but still felt inner unfulfillment or disconnect, this season is for you.

It’s your invitation to understand what’s been missing, to close the Purpose Gap, and to step into more profound meaning, true purpose, and lasting fulfillment in your life and work.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from me. I say –
“Success is not the same as fulfillment. And I realized I was not broken. I was misaligned. I was out of alignment with who I really was.”

In this solo episode, I open up about a season of my life when everything on the outside looked right—leadership role, title, prestige—but inside, I felt completely out of sync. I share the moment I started asking, “Why do I feel empty?” and how that question led me to the concept of misalignment. If you’ve ever had a quiet sense that something’s off—even when you’re technically successful—this conversation is for you.

I’m Dr. Robin, a college professor, author, and purpose coach—and in this podcast, I guide high-achieving women who are looking to align their work with who they truly are.

Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode:

• You’ll learn how to recognize the quiet signs of misalignment—even when your career looks great on paper.

• You’ll get a simple framework to identify if your “what,” “who,” or “why” is out of sync with your true self.

• You’ll leave with 4 reflective questions to help you reconnect with your passions, values, and purpose—plus a small, doable homework assignment to get started.
