About this listen

In this episode of the Healthy Love and Money Podcast, I welcome Dr. Jordan Grumet, hospice physician, financial expert, and author of The Purpose Code. We dive into the fundamental difference between meaning and purpose, how childhood narratives shape our life choices, and why many people struggle to feel “enough.” Jordan shares powerful insights on why purpose isn’t something you find—it’s something you build—and how small daily actions can create a fulfilling, purpose-driven life.

Quotes:

“Purpose is about action. It’s not something you find, it’s something you create.” – Jordan Grumet“You don’t become a runner by buying shoes. You become a runner by running.” – Jordan Grumet
