From Purpose to Leadership
The Pathway to Your Purpose
Most of us aren’t taught how to make sense of our inner lives. We are born into a world where we are prescribed a pathway to “success and happiness” and that deviating from this pathway is absurd. And so we go through the motions of life, we hit milestones (degrees, houses, spouses, kids, etc.), build careers (promotions, raises, pensions, status, etc.), buy or chase goals (cars, toys, vacations) - but even though we have it all, something still feels off. Underneath the experience of life exists a lingering, simple, powerful question:
Is this really it?
At Anima Causa, that question isn’t a problem… It’s a signal. The question indicates that you are living in misalignment and you’re ready to evolve into a new phase of life. You’re ready to reconnect with something deeper - your purpose - and to build a purposeful and meaningful life.
Anima Causa Approach
A one-size-fits-all approach, or generalized advice does not work. You can only learn so much from podcasts and YouTube videos that give you quick tips about finding purpose. Your path is your own, and you don’t have to walk it alone. The Anima Causa approach offers a blend of:
Spiritual development - not religious or dogmatic, but rooted in self-awareness, reflection, and presence. Spiritual development is about growing the part of you that exists beyond your body and mind.
Integral Coaching Method - a proven holistic methodology for deep, sustainable growth that focuses on your way of being in the world.
Relatable tools and practices - from journaling, meditations, readings and value-based decision making. The practices and tools are designed for who you are and tailored to work with your schedule and life-style.
Whether you’re discovering your purpose or learning how to live it fully, this work meets you where you are and takes you where you want to be. Here are the major phases of this journey:
Phase One:
Discovering Your Purpose
In phase one, you and I intentionally work towards uncovering and reconnecting with your unique life purpose. Using spiritual techniques and grounded methodologies we elicit your natural inclinations, patterns in your life, explore your desires and lingering questions. As a result, you will develop deeper self-knowledge than you ever had and reframe how you see yourself, your past, your present and your future.

This is where many people begin: with a sense that something’s missing or misaligned.
You might feel…
Like you’ve done everything “right,” but yet life feels wrong.
Like you’re drifting on the inside, even though life “looks fine” from the outside
Uninspired by your work, relationships, or daily routine
Craving more clarity, direction, or meaning
Here, the goal is to slow down, get curious and shift your focus to your inner world - the location and source of our true purpose in life.
Believe it or not, we are all born with a purpose or life task that is unique to us. It’s a part of our DNA. As children, we know this purpose and are eager to pursue it, but as we get older and our societal and parental influences shape us, we can lose touch with our purpose and begin to live based on what others may expect from us. There are hints and signs of this purpose everywhere in your life. You are simply not seeing them or have forgotten what they are.
Phase Two:
Pursuing & Living Purpose
In phase two, your internal purpose becomes practical and actionable. You and I create the alignment plan and direction for your life towards fulfilling on your purpose. Consider this your “business plan” for your life. We focus on the life you want to live and begin to break down the barriers and obstacles in your way.

Once you’ve reconnected with your unique purpose in life, and developed deep self-knowledge, the next step is to build a vision and a plan to align your life to your purpose. This part of the journey is often both exciting and uncomfortable. You might have to make changes - in habits, relationships, work and identity. That’s where the real growth happens.
Together, we create:
A vision and vision statement for your life.
How to make meaningful decisions aligned with your vision and purpose.
How to act from deeper values - not fear or pressure.
How to bring purpose into your relationships, career, and day-to-day life.
Phase Three:
Leading from Purpose
In phase three, what naturally emerges is leadership in life. You and I again draw from spiritual practices and pragmatic tools - helping you lead your life with integrity, intention, awareness and meaning. We also co-create practices that allow you to move into your life independently, with unwavering confidence in who you are and what you are up to. Purposeful living starts within - and ripples outward.
-
Leadership isn’t about having a title, or about managing people or projects. It’s about how you show up in the world - with integrity, presence and impact.
You might already be leading a team, business or community. You might be stepping into leadership for the first time. You simply want to become a leader or want to feel as though you are the “main character” of your own life…regardless, the question becomes:
How do I lead in a way that reflects who I truly am - not just what’s expected of me?
This phase is about:
Building a foundation of integrity and trust in your purpose and who you really are
Aligning your work with your deeper mission, your vocation.
Navigating challenges with grounded clarity and confidence
Supporting and empowering others while staying rooted in yourself
