Sometimes I encounter someone who thinks discovering their purpose is a straight line, but the truth is—it’s more of an elaborate set of passages that requires trying new things that will equip us for the work we are called to do through our purpose.
After becoming aware of the concept of purpose, Jeanette Peterson has tried her hand at many different things, but let me tell you more about her before we get into her journey.

After serving 11 years in the Air Force, Jeanette Peterson received her Personal Change of Station and left the Air Force at the same time. She wanted a way to live according to her values and to be authentically herself. Now, she’s focused on empowering women to be their authentic selves and to serve well in the process. She 100% believes that we should only work in our zone of genius, which means she will never cook you a meal. I am a jigsaw puzzle lover, nerd, and systems freak. This is why I love my job, solving complex puzzles all day long!
