Coaching the “What’s My Life Purpose?” Question: Guiding Clients from Fog to Fulfillment

Purpose isn’t always clear from the start. But with the right questions, clarity rises—like a summit breaking through the fog.

There comes a moment in nearly every coaching relationship when a client looks up, maybe through tears or burnout or just a long, tired sigh, and says:

✦ “I don’t know what the point of this is anymore.”

✦ “I thought this would feel more meaningful.”

✦ “I want my life to matter—but I don’t know what that actually means.”

This is the territory of life purpose—and it’s sacred ground.

As a coach, your job isn’t to hand over a neatly packaged mission statement. It’s to walk beside your client as they peel back the layers, reconnect with what’s true, and begin to live in alignment with it.

This post is your guide for navigating the purpose conversation when it shows up in session—and how to hold the space with curiosity, clarity, and depth. 🏔
