Oprah Winfrey: How to Find Your Unique Purpose, Authentic Power, and Calling In Life
About this episode
<p>This episode is a master class on how to live an incredible life.</p><p>In one of the most powerful conversations ever recorded on The Mel Robbins Podcast, Mel sits down with someone she has looked up to for more than four decades: Oprah Winfrey.</p><p>Mel first started watching Oprah on local television, before The Oprah Winfrey Show was nationally syndicated. Through every chapter of her own life, Mel has returned to Oprah’s work for perspective, encouragement, and direction.</p><p>This is more than an interview for Mel. It is deeply personal. Now you get to hear the questions she has wanted to ask Oprah for years.</p><p>Oprah starts this episode by saying, “I want everybody to know that you have the power to fulfill the fullest expression of yourself as a human being.”</p><p>She is teaching you how to do that today. </p><p>Oprah shares what she learned, growing up feeling unloved and “red dirt road poor” in Mississippi to extraordinary success. She discusses painful mistakes, difficult family relationships, and moments when she ignored her own intuition and paid the price. </p><p>What she reveals is surprisingly simple: You already have an internal GPS. Oprah will teach you how to hear it, and find the courage to follow it. </p><p>In this episode, you’ll learn:</p><p>-How to recognize the thread of purpose that has been running through your life all along</p><p>-Why intention changes the way you experience your work, relationships, and choices</p><p>-The single question Oprah asks when something in her life is not working</p><p>-Oprah’s best advice: “You are allowed to change your mind,” and what happened when she ignored it</p><p>-What to do when something painful or unfair happens and you have to figure out how to move forward</p><p>-Oprah’s life-changing definition of forgiveness</p><p>-The “10-gallon versus pint-size” lesson that helped her heal her relationship with her mother</p><p>-The single spiritual practice Oprah comes back to again and again</p><p>If Oprah Winfrey could sit beside you and help you think through the biggest questions in your life, this is the conversation she would want you to hear.</p><p>This conversation will help you come back to your center and look at your own life differently.</p><p>Start paying attention to the life that has been speaking to you all along. </p><p>There is something in this episode for wherever you are in your life right now. </p><p>This is a must-listen episode.</p><p>For more resources related to today’s episode, <a href="https://www.melrobbins.com/episode/episode-435/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><u>click here</u></a> for the podcast episode page.</p><p>Mel is going to Oprah Winfrey’s AHA at Sphere Las Vegas!
