Life doesn’t stay in summer forever. In Hannah's new book, The Purpose Pursuit, there’s a whole section on recognising the season you’re in. Early readers have told us how surprisingly profound they found it. That it made them pause, reflect, and reassess where their life is right now and how they’re moving through it. In this week’s podcast, we dig into this idea of life seasons and help you (and ourselves) work out which season you’re in, what you can do to prepare for what’s next and how to navigate it with purpose.
