Purpose Practitioners' Podcast: Recent Episodes
Mpumi K. Mbonane
A podcast hosted by Mpumi K. Mbonane, a Purpose Alignment Strategist, who helps young professionals who are stuck in careers they settled for and jobs they quite frankly hate, to discover their purpose and turn it into a fulfilling, impactful and sustainable profession.
Whether it is through her Masterclasses, Challenges, or Signature Programme - Purpose to Profession - Mpumi guides her clients through the multiple professions that purpose can be fulfilled in, i.e. Business, Corporate, Non-profit Organization, Full-time Ministry, Academia, or as a Creative.
This show highlights the journeys that other young professionals working in their purpose are on, and it is the platform to be on, if you want to elevate your career, one week at a time.
The most under-rated benefit of operating in one's purpose, is the character development that comes as a result. The best people that walk amongst us, are those that have said "yes" to the call; and you can be one such person too.
We're each called to live it out our purpose in different professions, depending on which one(s) will render us most effective. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur, you know? (Although in this economy, it'd probably be very beneficial), and Corporate is not always a bad thing. The possibilities are endless. You just have to be open-minded and prepared to be blown away by all the doors your purpose will let you walk through.
Listen up to determine which profession best suits you.
I'm sure you've heard people say it is wrong, or selfish, or ungodly to make money from your gifts, right? That you shouldn't expect to make a profit from your purpose?
Well have I got news for them (and you) because that is quite an absurd thing to believe.
This episode tells you exactly why I think so.

Let's be honest: When you accept the assignment of your life, it tends to get lonely at times. Largely because not everyone sees the vision. Not everyone understands the mission. It was a personal call anyway; not a conference call.
The applause don’t always sound. The accolades are given to others. Support doesn’t often make its way to you.
So do you abort mission? No! Please no!
What do you do then?
The answer is in this week's episode.

Does one's purpose change over time or are we given one purpose to live out our entire life?
Does discovering your purpose box you into one boring life or is there room for excitement and exploration?
This is the question we tackle in this week's episode.
Music by
We spend so much time at our jobs that its sickening how comfortable we've gotten with doing arduous, unfulfilling work that does not even serve our purpose.
Maybe it's cos we don't understand that we're the Creator's most prized possession, and that we have so much to offer the world.
I need us all to take ourselves, and our assignment seriously.
PS. I don't normally speak with such a stern tone. I'm usually gentle. But this subject requires the passion that I'm addressing it with. So sorry; not sorry. It'll mean more to me that I pushed you into your purpose, than that you liked for allowing you to settle.
Episode 41 unpacks why you should make your purpose your profession.
In this episode we dispel the myth that passion and purpose are synonymous.
We define what purpose is, what it means to be purpose-built and purposeful, and all the feelings and realities of being purposeless.
We then go on to define passion. And why it is problematic to confuse it with purpose 🙅🏽♀️
Key take away from this episode: Purpose is the reason; passion is the expression of that reason 🤯

In the first episode of 2022, I get real about my career journey and the road that led me to what is now my purpose story.

I believe that there is no "one size fits all" approach to purpose. Everyone has got their bespoke purpose, tailored for their unique design.
It is on that vein that I chose to interview Awakhiwe Kona who is the Founder and CEO of Suitability Bespoke Suits. His company tailors suits that afford Young Professionals and Executives the opportunity to dress up as people who are ready to take on their different missions.
Awakhiwe has since opened Suitability Gardens; a beautiful venue for weddings and romantic picnics and lovers' get-aways.
Key take-aways from this episode:
- How he got into the Fashion Industry
- Balancing a business and a 9-5 job
- How he started his business with just a R500 investment
- A business model - Inspired by Mercedes Benz
- The value of networking and knowing who to partner with in growing your business
If you think finding another job is what will get you unstuck and fulfilled in your work, I hate to break it down to you. It won't!!!
You have a bigger problem. An existential problem! And that is what we will be addressing in this episode.
Once you get the foundation right, the 3 pillars shared in this episode will hold you up.

I need to issue this warning to EVERYONE who dares to make the bold move of seeking their purpose and living it out unapologetically.
No-one is exempt from going through a variation of any of the experiences mentioned in this episode, but no-one who allows the process to do what it is meant to, comes out on the other side ever regretting the decision to be relenting with their purpose.
This purpose journey is not easy, but nothing is as meaningful and fulfilling as it is.
Enjoy the episode.

It's time for you to be 10X better than your industry standard!
This week's podcast episode teaches you how to be exactly that! Nomzamo Mbatha often says: There is no glory in playing small! And there really isn't. In fact, one outstanding writer, Ellen G. White, once penned: "The Lord is disappointed when His people place a low estimate upon themselves... ... He has a use for them, and He is well pleased when they make the very highest demands upon Him, that they may glorify His name. They may expect large things if they have faith in His promises."

This one will make you really introspect on the people you've allowed to take residence in your inner circle. Should they be there? Are they adding the right kind of value? Oh, oh, oh, wait... Are you the kind of friend anyone should have? Hmmm. Listen to the game-plan and start making up your mind about where you want to be and whether who you have (and are) will get you there. Enjoy.

Today's Game-plan is critical. We are praying about one of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life, after choosing Christ as your personal savior - it is choosing someone to spend you entire life with. Prayer for our partners is extremely important. We have to do it if we want to have good living. So in this episode, find some prayer points from me, and let me know what else you believe I left out (info@mpumikmbonane.com)

Given that family was designed, by God, to be the center of love and morality, it goes without saying that it should be part of our prayer strategy. If we want to play a part in helping society at large, we have to play a part in holding up our family units. Hope you enjoy this game-plan.

A number of people ask me how I maintain a strong relationship with God and what they can do to start one.
So to heed that request, I've put together, in sound-clips, the game-plan I use everyday to bring certain areas of my life in focus, and co-develop strategies with God on those very areas. While I let Him perform His Godly, Fatherly duties, I allow Him to equip me for the parts of the prayer that I am responsible for, to fulfill my requests.
I hope you enjoy the journey with me, and don't be shy to reach out to me with your thoughts and contributions. I'm available on emial - info@mpumikmbonane.com

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Tebello Motshwane of Sister in Law, who has a podcast called Sisters in Conversation. She was inspired by Michelle Obama's documentary and thought it would be a good idea for us local women to share our stories of how we became who we are today. Here my story as I share it with her and I hope it gives you the courage to some day share yours.

It is Money March on the podcast this month. The idea is for us all as Purpose Practitioners to be wealth professionals who make a holistic impact in society - through our purpose and our pockets 😉. The #1 lesson I want you to gain from this episode is: We don't work for money; money works for us. We make money and then we make that money work for us. Enjoy 🙂

Tell me if you've noticed this too... For some reason it seems People are frustrated with God The youth is bored with religious church practices A great deal of people are tired of hearing and doing the same things year in, year out Millennials are sick of seeing hypocrites who are quick to judge others' shortcomings... There is a repulsion to religion, and I get why! All along, the focus has been on RELIGION, and not much emphasis has been placed on RELATIONSHIP. This week's episode is a pour out of my heart; I'm making a claim that not even God is interested in RELIGION. All He cares about is RELATIONSHIP, and I use the 10 COMMANDMENTS (yes, you read that right) to prove to you that what we thought is religion all this time, is actually not! Have a listen.

Let me tell you something you should never forget: Corporate ain't your cousin! If you don't wise up and play the game, you'll be left at the bottom of the food chain, with nothing to show for the years you would have spent, furthering someone else's vision. I don't want that for you. Corporate is one way to fulfil our purpose here on this Earth, and so in this episode I share some tips on how you can navigate it well and be a high performer. Some of us though, are totally misplaced, and our actual work is waiting for us to align to it. If you are ready to live the life you were actually created to live, and work a job that will fulfill you, no doubt, sign up for Purpose Unlocked here: https://mpumikmbonane.com/product/purpose-unlocked/.
