Letting Go of Who You “Should” Be to Find Who You Are
Tanjila Islam - SoulSearch.io
What if your purpose isn’t something to chase, but something that unfolds when you finally allow yourself to be who you truly are?
In this episode, Tanjila Islam, founder of Soul Search and Soul Search TV, shares her raw journey from building international trade companies in Manhattan to surrendering everything to launch SoulSearch.io, a global platform connecting seekers with transformational experiences, practitioners, retreats, and conscious community.
She unpacks how “purpose” often follows when we say yes to our passion and let go of the fear of who we’re supposed to be.
If you feel stuck, disconnected, or are questioning what’s next for your life, this conversation will help you reclaim your joy and open up to what’s possible.
