Happy New Year!  Having it all may seem like the recipe for a perfect life. As we check all the boxes, it might feel like something is missing —and that "something" most often is our "purpose." "Finding your purpose" is so much more than a dream or goal that will never be fulfilled. It just may be the secret to a happier and healthier life. So Mama, what is your purpose? Today on the WHoly Mom Chat, I'm joined by Mary Tomlinson, a former Disney executive, entrepreneur, and mom of 2 adult children. Mary and I take a deep dive into why you need to have a purpose, how to find one and how to make it a priority in your life. Listen in to learn more about: Mary's story and her journey of motherhood  What is your purpose, and how to find it?Practical tips on what to do when we get away from our specific God-given purpose? The option that we don't have to say YES to everything, and there is freedom in that!  Before owning her own business, Mary Tomlinson enjoyed an 18-year career with the Walt Disney Company, where she was an executive in marketing and a general manager coaching teams of 8-800. Since 2001, she has been President of On-Purpose Partners, LLC, a coaching, facilitation, and consulting firm. She specializes in brand and marketing development, customer service training and consulting, the design and facilitation of planning retreats, workshops, and personal and executive coaching. She is a national speaker, and the published author of Wholehearted Purpose and Facilitation Made Easy and has co-authored business articles in Meetings &amp; Conventions, Training Magazine, Successful Meetings, HR Innovator, and Inspired Women Magazine.com.

Living On Purpose with Mary Tomlinson

Mary and I chat about loving Jesus and loving work, living on purpose and discovering your God given design. 3:45 Mary begins sharing how her walk with Jesus began after being turned off by the church after her parents divorce. "I came to know Jesus and His love for me.  That He wasn't up there keeping track of every thing I did wrong and it transformed my life. I fell in love with the Lord." 5:29 Mary begins sharing about her career at Disney World as a Marketing Brand Director. "When my children were born I had to make a decision of whether I would be a better mother as a working mother or as a stay at home mother. And through lots of self-reflection and prayer I decided I would be a better working mother." 9:23 "My coaching is always, do your own self-reflection, realize how God has created you, and whatever you choose to do, do it joyfully. If I were to stay at home, because I think I need to stay at home and be bitter about that my kids would pick up on that and feel like they are the cause of my unhappiness. Or if I worked and I was unhappy working, then my children are going to believe that working is bad." 10:25 We begin discussing Mary's exit from Disney and the start of On-Purpose Partner's. "I took a step away and started to do a lot of self-reflection on who I was and what I really wanted to do and what would make my heart sing. I put one foot in front of the other and over the next three years used every penny of savings that we had toward this dream. It really stretched my faith, because I knew the Lord had told me to leave and it just took a while for the business to start to grow." "We want God to show us a spotlight of everything that's coming and instead He gives us a little flashlight to show us what the next step is." 14:05 "There are always new beginnings and new adventures for all of us in which we have to trust the Lord." Mary's has a passion to help individuals discover what they are designed to do.  She shares a few ways she goes about coaching individuals to find their God-given purpose. Kevin McCarthy: The On-Purpose Personand The On-Purpose Business. Women Doing Well: an organization that helps women live more generously. To be more generous, a survey showed, a woman must know: Her purpose Her passion A plan  J 4 Leaders: Judges 4 - Deborah.  If Deborah, who was a leader in Israel, and successfully led Israel into battle in the Old Testament, then God can use women as leaders in the workplace today. Professional Christian Women, a Raleigh non-profit: Purpose is to encourage Christian women in the marketplace. "If God has given you the work gene, you can love Jesus and love to work. God will use you....Seek God and seek His Word and then be commissioned back into the marketplace as our mission-field, is really the purpose of Professional Christian Women." 19:47 Mary discusses her book Wholehearted Purpose: Women Discovering Their One-Of-A-Kind-Design. Two-Word Purpose Statement "Listen to God's whisper in our lives. Our lives are so loud and He is not going to scream, so when we take some time to think and reflect and ponder, amazing things finally bubble up."
