Episode 122: The Pillars of Your Purpose with Angie Swartz

In the episode, The Pillars of Your Purpose, Dr. Connor interviews Angie and asks her about her specific style of coaching and how it can help entrepreneurs looking to shift gears and grow their businesses. She talks about her own personal career path and journey, how she became a life coach, and how she uses her own experiences to help others find their life purpose and true happiness.

“Things started happening and doors started opening and I started opening them,” Angie told Dr. Connor. “I coach clients one on one by choice, I teach courses and I am in the middle of launching an online school with five classes that I really love…On top of that I am writing a book.”

Angie and Dr. Connor talk about how Covid is affecting people in their careers and forcing them to change their lives because they have no choice. Angie points out that with the forced isolation, very successful people are starting to realize that they haven’t spent time building relationships or true friendships because they have been so busy with their heads down in their work.

She says the pandemic is making people want to make changes and movements in their lives and their careers to find true happiness. They then talk about how Angie’s work helps people make the necessary changes in their lives and careers.

Angie’s Nonlinear Coaching Approach

Dr. Connor talks about how most coaching is very linear. He points out that Angie gives people all aspects of life and business coaching together in one piece. She touches on how she pulls from her business background and her spiritual background to help people reach a holistic, happy life.

“You can improve all you want in your career,” Angie says. “But if you haven’t dealt with the other sides of your life, you’re eventually going to fail on that side because you’re not going to be holistically built to be happy.”

Dr. Connor talks about how this non-linear holistic approach can really help entrepreneurs and people seeking change. He also talks about how it can help listeners who are ready to advance their careers and enrich their lives.  

Angie tells Dr. Connor that one of her favorite things to do is coach people who are ready to leave their corporate careers and focus on their side hustle.

She talks about her new online training program and coaching. “All of my coaching programs have four basic modules that we work through,” she says.

She talks about the modules and how they all have an underlying premise that there is something bigger out there helping us along. After that underlying premise there is “know thyself,” “practicing daily rituals” (creating daily practice to help you be more present), “transforming the body” (transforming your body to make decisions), and “being mindful” (paying attention to the messages that are coming in all around you).

Aligning with Your Real-Life Purpose

Angie also talks about how she loves to help people align with their real-life purpose. She says she believes that everyone knows what their purpose is deep down and that we must go through experiences to realize what that is. Dr. Connor and Angie discuss how people are often being pulled to where they want to go, and eventually, they make a purposeful change.

Angie’s biggest advice for entrepreneurs and people desiring to grow their own business is to delegate so they can focus on the part of their business they love to do. First thing is to hire an accountant, she says. And then, think about what your business team should look like. If you don’t have the money to do that, get creative! She recommends trading services, hiring interns, and using other creative strategies to create a team of people to help. She says if you don’t put a team together to help your business grow, you will always be stuck.
