About the show

If life hasn't been all it was meant to be, if you feel like there should be something more, if you want to make an impact, do something meaningful, but you just can't seem to figure out how or what, then you've come to the right place! The Work On Purpose Podcast is all about finding and pursuing your life's mission. It's about making a difference, not just in your own life, but in the lives of others as well. We have each been created on purpose for a purpose and it's high time we get to work doing it. Life is way too short to only live for the weekends! I want you to live each day fully and completely, to the max! Let's die empty.

Adulting Is Hard, They Say...

Adulting is hard. This is a phrase I keep hearing from young adults. I actually don't think it's that adulting is hard. I think it's more likely that us parents have been making life so easy and comfortable for our kids, whether by providing all the conveniences that we can afford OR even by our lack of preparing them adequately for the things that await them in adulthood. In this episode we discuss four ways you can help your teen or young adult have a more successful transition to adulthood. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it! After listening, let me know what thoughts come to mind and how you plan to implement some of these ideas in parenting your teen or young adult. Also, go ahead and send along any issues or topics you'd like me to discuss in future episodes. You can reach me directly at ksue@ksuesweeney.com or at any of the social platforms listed below.

Need A Job? Wanna Get Promoted? Become a Founding Member!

You may or may not know my story, in particular, the part about my having had over 30+ jobs in my career. But during the course of my multi-faceted career, I've also sat on the opposite side of many young candidates looking for work. And as a hiring manager, I sadly found that there's so much that people unknowingly do or don't do, that almost automatically puts them out of the running. I started thinking about this and figured I should do something to help them in some way. So, to that end, I'm creating a new membership to help job-seekers and career climbers to get HIRED! If you, or someone you know, is looking for a job or want more meaning in their work, please take advantage of becoming a Founding Member in the Work On Purpose Membership!
