The Importance of Following your Purpose with Ally Payetta

The dead-end, soul-sucking jobs many of our parents suffered through for 40+ years, waiting to receive their pensions, don’t seem to be cutting it for most millennials. Our cohort seems to want more. We want purpose, passion and a great paycheque. We want freedom and flexibility. Overall, I think we all really want joy in our lives. We are the most emotionally conscious generation that has ever existed, and a product of this consciousness is seeking fulfilment in all the areas our lives- and our work is a big part of that. Everywhere you look, you can see those who have ditched the pre-determined way of working, as defined by the generation before us, and are forging new paths and finding big success in non-traditional careers. Enter our Mind Your Own Life podcast guest, the wonderful Ally Payetta. A wedding photographer who has created the life of her dreams by following her passion and purpose in this life. She and her husband Nick have built a wildly successful business together, purchased their dream home and are spending 3 months travelling South East Asia this winter- talk about inspiration. Ally has been a close friend, major role model and one of the biggest cheerleaders in my life for the past three years. Her unwavering encouragement is a big reason why I took the leap of starting Mind Your Own as a place to share my truth. I know that when you hear her story, you, too, will be driven to more closely align with your purpose and allow it to guide you on your path.
