Lynne Twist

What if purpose is not something you invent, but something you uncover by paying attention to what breaks your heart and what makes your heart sing?

In this powerful episode of Awaken Your Purpose, Zenka Caro sits down with Lynne Twist, bestselling author of The Soul of Money, longtime global activist, co-founder of The Pachamama Alliance, and one of the great voices on sufficiency, stewardship, and service. Lynne shares the moment Buckminster Fuller changed her life, how The Hunger Project was born, why scarcity is one of humanity’s most dangerous illusions, and what it really means to live in service of life.

This is a conversation about purpose, money, hunger, enoughness, the collapse of old systems, and the deeper role human beings may be here to play.
