  • Purpose to Create Podcast EP 72: Nothing is Wasted (The Power of Reassessment)

    The Clarity Reset Series – Week 2 Have you ever known it was time to shift, but still hesitated—just to be sure? This week, we’re talking about reassessment—not as a sign of failure, but as a strategy for alignment. Many of us resist reassessment because we don’t want to “miss the mark” or feel like we’re backtracking. But here’s the truth: 💡 Reassessment isn’t about starting over—it’s about realigning. 💡 Nothing is wasted. Even the detours hold value. 💡 Clarity requires surrender and obedience. There was a point in my entrepreneurial journey when I knew I had completed my assignment. But instead of moving forward, I stayed. I wanted to be sure I had heard God correctly. For two years, I tried to "help" God because He wasn’t moving fast enough for me. But clarity required surrender and obedience—not control. I had to stop putting God in a box and trust that His plans were bigger than my limited thinking. Reassessment isn’t always about big life pivots. Sometimes, it’s about small habits. For example, I noticed my morning routine wasn’t setting me up for success. I was skipping breakfast, diving straight into work, and feeling drained before noon. So, I made one small shift—I started waking up one hour earlier to spend time with God, work out, and ease into my day. That tiny change? It shifted everything. If reassessing your big goals feels overwhelming, start with the small things. Visualization: Seeing Your Future Self 🧘🏾‍♀️ Close your eyes and take a deep breath in. Now, picture yourself six months from now. 💡 What are you doing? 💡 How do you feel? 💡 What does your routine look like? Now, come back to this moment. What’s one small shift you can make today to move toward that version of you? Even the smallest step creates momentum. Nothing Is Wasted—It’s All Preparing You. If you’re thinking, “I’ve already invested so much time in this path—can I really pivot now?” let me remind you: Every experience has prepared you for what’s next. You ’re not starting over—you’re starting from experience. Affirmation of the Week ✨ I give myself permission to reassess and realign with confidence and clarity. ✨ Next week, we’re talking about recharging—learning to rest, set boundaries, and fuel your creativity without guilt. Because clarity becomes sustainable when we give ourselves the rest and renewal needed to move forward with confidence. Let’s keep the conversation going! 📲 Join the conversation on IG @natarsha_wright and drop your biggest takeaway under today’s episode post! Until next time, trust your path, embrace the shift, and keep creating with purpose.

  • Purpose to Create Podcast EP 71: Clarity Over Chaos (The Power of Reflection)

    The Clarity Reset Series – Week 1 Clarity isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about creating space to listen. In this episode of The Purpose to Create™ Podcast , host Natarsha Wright kicks off the Clarity Reset series . In Week 1 she shares how reflection can unlock clarity, why small wins matter more than we realize, and how to embrace the season you’re in without overthinking your next step. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this series is designed to help you realign, reset, and move forward with intention. This week, we’re starting with reflection—because clarity doesn’t come from constantly doing more. It comes from making space to listen. High-achievers often resist slowing down because we equate progress with productivity. But clarity doesn’t come from pushing harder—it comes from pausing to notice what’s already there. I’ve heard from so many creatives who say: "I feel like I’m doing so much, but I still don’t feel clear on my next step." And my response is always the same: Clarity isn’t something you chase—it’s something you allow. I learned this firsthand when I took nearly two years off after my mother’s passing. Initially, I felt guilty—like I was stepping away from everything I worked so hard to build. But in reality, that pause became my greatest teacher. It revealed what was working, what wasn’t, and what truly mattered. Clarity isn’t about finding the perfect plan—it’s about recognizing what’s already guiding you. Your Real-Time Reflection Moment Let’s take a moment right now. Close your eyes (if you’re able), take a deep breath, and ask yourself: What is one thing that’s working well in my life or business? If nothing comes up right away, that’s okay too. Simply pausing to check in is already a step toward clarity. Sometimes we think clarity only comes from major breakthroughs, but it’s actually built in the small moments we often overlook—when you trusted your gut, set a boundary, or showed up for yourself even when no one was watching. Pause and recognize those small wins. They matter more than you realize. Purposeful Pause: Here are three questions to reflect on this week: ✅ One thing that’s been going right in your life or business ✅ A challenge that’s stretched you in a meaningful way ✅ One insight you want to carry forward To make it stick, turn one of your reflections into an anchor—something tangible that reminds you of your insight. Maybe that’s writing it down, setting a phone reminder, or sharing it with a friend. Clarity sticks when we give it a space to live beyond our minds. What’s Next? Next week, we’ll dive into reassessing where you are and giving yourself permission to pivot. I’d love to hear what stood out for you! Share your reflections over on Instagram @natarsha_wright or in our IG Broadcast Channel, The Purpose to Create™ Collective. Until next time, keep creating with purpose.

  • Purpose to Create Podcast EP 69: The Ins and Outs of Entrepreneurship in 2025

    Hey, friends! Entrepreneurship is evolving, and 2025 is calling for a fresh perspective. It’s no longer about hustling nonstop or chasing trends that don’t align. This year, it’s about aligning with purpose, growing sustainably, and letting go of outdated practices that no longer serve us. In Episode 69 of the Purpose to Create™  Podcast, I’m sharing the “ins” and “outs” for entrepreneurship in 2025. These are the mindset shifts, strategies, and practices that will help you grow your business while staying aligned with your values and purpose. What’s In for 2025 ✨ Sustainable Growth Growth isn’t about moving fast; it’s about moving smart. Entrepreneurs are shifting away from hustle culture and embracing strategies that prioritize mental health, long-term sustainability, and smarter decision-making. ✨ Authentic Storytelling Your audience wants to connect with the real  you. Sharing your “why” and showing the human side of your brand builds trust and connection. It’s time to lean into storytelling that fosters meaningful relationships. ✨ Community Building 2025 is all about collaboration. Whether it’s networking, partnerships, or creating spaces where your audience feels supported, community building is key to going farther and faster—together. ✨ Purposeful Pauses Breaks aren’t just refreshing—they’re necessary. Taking intentional time to reflect, recharge, and realign helps you serve from your overflow and enjoy the abundance you’re creating. The work will still be there when you’re ready. ✨ Personal Growth as a Priority Investing in mentorship, therapy, or courses isn’t just about professional growth—it’s about becoming the best version of yourself. Your personal growth is the foundation for your success in life and business. What’s Out for 2025 🚫 Overworking as a Badge of Honor Burnout isn’t a business strategy. Normalize rest and redefine success on your own terms. 🚫 One-Size-Fits-All Strategies Cookie-cutter solutions don’t work for everyone. It’s time to personalize your approach and align it with your unique vision. 🚫 Chasing Trends Without Purpose Not every trend deserves your time. Focus on strategies that align with your mission and deliver real value to your audience. 🚫 Saying Yes to Everything Saying yes to everything means saying no to yourself. Boundaries are essential for protecting your peace and energy. 🚫 Neglecting Mental Health Skipping self-care to keep up with work is no longer an option. Your mental and emotional well-being are critical to showing up as your best self. Purposeful Pause Take a moment to reflect: 📝 What’s one “In” you’re embracing in 2025? 📝 What’s one “Out” you’re leaving behind? Affirmation: "I build my business with purpose, clarity, and alignment. I release what no longer serves me, embrace growth at my own pace, and honor the balance between my personal and professional well-being. Success flows to me as I create with intention."

  • Purpose to Create Podcast Episode 68: Start 2025 With Intention, Not Overwhelm

    Hey, friends! Welcome to Season 6 of the Purpose to Create podcast! I’m your host, Natarsha Wright—business strategist, certified life coach, and founder of Purpose to Create™. This is a space for purpose-driven creatives to clear the noise, fuel their creativity with resilience, and lean into their purpose. I share actionable strategies and insights to help you thrive—both personally and professionally. Let’s get into it! We’re easing into 2025 with a fresh perspective. For me, the New Year doesn’t truly begin until spring arrives—it feels more natural to align with the rhythm of the seasons. In January, there’s so much pressure to hit the ground running, but meaningful growth doesn’t happen all at once. It happens at your  pace. This season, I’m reminding myself (and you) to pause, reflect, and create a foundation that supports intentional growth. It’s not about sprinting out of the gate. It’s about moving with grace, at a rhythm that works for you . Here’s the truth: routines aren’t one-size-fits-all, and they’re rarely linear. What worked for you last year—or even last month—might not work now. And that’s okay. Life shifts, seasons change, and your routines should evolve too. So, instead of diving into rigid structures, focus on: Setting Intentions : What do you want this season to feel like? Building Sustainable Habits : What small actions align with your current needs? Listening to Yourself : What pace feels supportive for you right now? From Clutter to Clarity One win I’m carrying into 2025 is moving from clutter to clarity. It’s been a process, but clearing out the physical, digital, and emotional “stuff” has been so freeing. First stop: my closet. At the end of 2024, I tackled a massive decluttering project. I went through everything, piece by piece, and now I can finally see what I own (and stop buying duplicates—hello, I have Zara at home!). Next stop: my digital world. Over the past few months, I reevaluated how I want to show up online. It started with purging my Facebook—removing myself from 100+ groups I’d been added to over the years. From there, I decided to step away from Facebook altogether. I deleted my LinkedIn and deleted all of my Pinterest boards. On Instagram, I took a drastic step: I went from following 2,000+ accounts to… zero. You read that right—zero. I essentially deleted accounts that were inactive and just kept them because that's what everyone says you should do, but it's pointless to old on to things that have no value in my life and business, so they had to go. The accounts I did keep all serve an intentional purpose. When it no longer serves a purpose then they will be deleted when it's time. It might sound extreme, but this digital decluttering has created space for clarity. It’s given me the freedom to reassess who and what I allow into my mental space. Here’s what I’ve learned: Sometimes we don’t need more—more clothes, more storage, more stuff. Often, we already have what we need. We just need to make room for it. We are often distracted by things that keep us from what we really should be focused on. Gentle Reminders for 2025 As we step into this new year, here are three gentle reminders for you: Your pace is valid.  Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s highlight reel. Focus on alignment, not hustle.  Build routines that honor your current season. Celebrate progress, not just results.  Every step forward matters. Purposeful Pause 📝 What’s one intention guiding you into 2025? 📝 What routine feels sustainable and supportive for you right now? 📝 How can you give yourself grace when things don’t go as planned? Affirmation: "I create space—physically, digitally, and emotionally—for what truly aligns with me. Clarity flows when I let go of what no longer serves me."   Here’s to a year of aligned growth, gentle routines, and showing up for yourself—one intentional step at a time.
