We've got life purpose all wrong. Mike Iamele chats with us about his spiritual awakening during a harrowing healing crisis - which included falling in love with his male caretaker causing him to explore his own sexuality, all while healing and uncovering his life purpose. You're going to want to hear about his viral blog post! His discovery of an incredible way to understand life purpose launched a business called Sacred Branding, and he takes me through a shortened process of discovering my own sensitivities which absolutely blew my mind, y'all! In a little over 5 minutes, I knew more about my life purpose than I'd ever known before. Mike says you don't have to FIND your life purpose, it's who you already are, even when you were a young child! We also chat about journeying to the plant kingdom, and you will love hearing how blue vervain appears to him on journeys! My favorite quote from this episode is "You never have to try to be yourself. If you're trying, it means you're being somebody else."
