Discovering Your Purpose

By Luz Maria Campuzano | Soul Prompt Coaching

The Question That Carries Weight

It begins with a question so common it can feel both simple and heavy at once.
“What do you want to do with your life?”

I have heard it asked casually, as though it were simple. Yet beneath those words, the question hums with expectation, urgency, and an unspoken demand that an eighteen-year-old should already hold the map to their life’s journey.

When my sons graduated high school during the uncertain waves of the COVID pandemic, that question followed them like a shadow. They stepped into adulthood when even the world itself seemed unsure of where it was headed. How could anyone expect clarity from them at such a tender, vulnerable time? Even in years deemed normal, it remains a heavy question for someone barely beginning to discover themselves.

At forty, I was still moving toward my own answer.

Seasons of Work and Motherhood

My life unfolded like a mosaic of seasons and careers. Each role was a chapter I inhabited fully for a time, a unique piece of the whole. Like leaves turning with the wind, I moved through these chapters, gathering wisdom and shape, even when the pattern was not yet clear.

Motherhood was the axis around which my world spun. In those early years, I held a part-time job in corporate America that fit around my sons’ needs. It was not where my soul came alive, yet it provided stability and the sacred gift of being present for the moments that mattered most.

After ten years, the current shifted. I earned my real estate license and found my way into one of Chicago’s most exclusive luxury groups. Six years later, life opened a new door, and I stepped into mergers and acquisitions. This new path became a profound classroom of business and mentorship. I was gifted guides who shaped not only my career but also my vision of what was possible.

I grew skilled, respected, and successful by many measures. Yet beneath it all, a quiet restlessness remained. A whisper of something more, though I could not yet name it.

The Quiet Whisper

Through every demanding season, a part of me was drawn to the unseen. To the spaces beneath life’s surface where the practical and the spiritual weave together.

In still moments when the house was silent or when the sky stretched wide like an open invitation, I felt it. A knowing that my truest work was not in transactions or titles but in the deeper conversations, the ones that open doors to the soul.

I held that knowing close, a private flame in the background of my life. Yet the whisper grew louder, calling me forward.

The Ceremony of Release

Three years ago, during a quiet meditation, I was guided to a moment I had not expected. In the sanctuary of my inner vision, I saw myself performing a sacred ceremony, a gentle cutting of the cords that tethered me to my sons. With deep love, I released them into their own sovereignty, trusting the sacred unfolding of their journeys on their own terms.

That ceremony was profoundly emotional, a rite of passage. In that release, I felt myself graduate from one chapter of motherhood into another. A freedom blossomed inside me, a permission to honor myself anew and step fully into the next phase of my becoming.

The Awakening to Coaching

Coaching entered my life as a word that resonated deeply, though its true meaning was veiled. I soon discovered many who claim the title lack the depth, sacred heart, and true understanding this role demands. Coaching is not about handing out answers or directives. It is a sacred calling that requires reverence for the soul’s unique journey.

Continuing in business brokerage, I refined gifts that had come naturally. Emotional intelligence, building trust, unwavering ethics, sensing the unspoken in client energy. I became a skilled negotiator, and all these qualities had their roots in my experience as a mother.

Motherhood was my greatest teacher. Every lesson in patience, empathy, and holding space became the foundation for this new work.

In 2022, I became a student at SAI, immersing myself in metaphysical studies. I became a certified metaphysician. Layer by layer, I peeled back years of trauma and came home to my soul.

Learning to serve as a coach, I embraced the profound honor of holding space for another’s life story. My clients entrust me with a lens into their inner worlds, a sacred trust I hold with humility and care. This partnership is not just about equality, but stewardship, being a guardian of their truth as they find their own light.

Walking Into My Purpose

I found my purpose in coaching. A vision blossomed of a business built on years of experience and soul work. My calling is to guide people awakening to their truth, to hold space with a lantern as they navigate their own dark nights of the soul.

I call that darkness an act of love, not despair. Every moment of my life, childhood, motherhood, careers, mentors, every pivot, had led me here.

It took 46 years to arrive. It could not have come sooner.

Your Path Is Your Own

Purpose rarely arrives in a straight line. We are meant to experience twists and turns, to explore roads that may feel disconnected or uncertain. The feeling of being lost is part of the journey home.

Own your experiences without judgment. Be brave enough to trust your unique timeline. Nothing is wasted as long as you keep searching.

Purpose is an unfolding, not a finish line. It whispers in the quiet, waiting patiently for your attention, inviting you to return home to yourself.

An Invitation to Begin

If you are seeking your path, begin by gathering the chapters of your life.

Take a moment to write down:

• The seasons of your life

• The jobs or roles you have held

• The relationships that shaped you

• The lessons you have learned

Circle the moments that made you feel alive, connected, or truly seen.

Notice the threads that appear again and again. What patterns, gifts, or guidance are showing themselves?

Ask yourself: What is the smallest yes I can follow right now, even if it feels uncertain?

Remember, one small step is all it takes to begin.

Your purpose is already within you, waiting to be remembered, at the right time.

With deep love and reverence for your journey,
