You’re Not Stuck: How Purpose Pulls You

Forward When Hustle Burns You Out 

 

​

Topic

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re failing… but because you’ve disconnected from what matters most? 

In this powerful and perspective-shifting keynote, Pamela Meadows explores how high-achieving women can move from burnout and self-doubt into clarity, confidence, and calm -  not by pushing harder, but by reconnecting with their purpose. 

Combining real talk, coaching wisdom, and science-backed tools, Pamela guides audiences through a practical framework to uncover core values, create a purpose statement, and make aligned decisions that feel good and do good. 

This isn’t about finding a dream job or some elusive calling. It’s about reclaiming the version of you that feels grounded, fulfilled, and alive without needing to check another box. 

​

Key Takeaways: â€‹
​
  • “Stuck” is not a personal failure -  it’s feedback. Learn why feeling stuck is actually a powerful signal from your inner wisdom. 

  • Purpose isn’t found -  it’s remembered. Attendees will learn how to reconnect with their purpose through core values and self-leadership. 

  • Identify your personal core values. Pamela guides the audience through a reflective exercise to uncover the non-negotiables that drive fulfillment. 

  • Create your purpose statement. Attendees will craft a personal filter that informs their decisions, boundaries, and next steps - professionally and personally. 

  • Reframe success and redefine alignment. Learn to make choices that reflect who you are now, not just who the world expected you to be. 

  • Includes a Purpose Activation Worksheet (via QR code) to take the learning beyond the stage and into everyday life. 
     

 

Ideal For Women Who: â€‹
​
  • Feel like they “should” be further along in life or their career.

  • Are juggling all the things but still feel disconnected or unfulfilled.

  • Are craving clarity on what’s next but feel overwhelmed or unsure.

  • Are ready to lead themselves and others with more meaning, less burnout.

  • Want practical steps to create purpose-driven alignment - not just another motivational quote.
