Overview

You know the feeling. It arrives on Sunday afternoon — a gray weight that settles somewhere behind your sternum while you fold laundry or sit with a coffee gone cold. From the outside, your life looks complete: the career, the credentials, the résumé your younger self would be proud of. From the inside, it feels like a life assembled for someone you used to be. And a quiet question keeps finding you: Is this all there is?

That feeling is not ingratitude, and it is not a crisis. It is the real you — the Authentic Self underneath the title and the performance — asking for your attention. Stepping Into Your Purpose is how you answer.

Psychotherapist Myrthia Moore knows this place personally. At forty, she was running a successful financial services company and dreading every Sunday — until a single unexpected conversation reopened a door she had closed at eighteen. She retrained as a therapist, and the dread never came back. In this warm, deeply practical book, she walks you through the same process she lived and has since guided countless women through: seeing the False Self you built to survive, uncovering the values and strengths that were yours before you decided to be practical, naming what you are actually here to do, and building — step by honest step — a life that finally fits.

Through sixteen chapters of guided exercises, and alongside Sarah, a client whose journal entries chart the journey in real time, you will learn how to quiet the inner critic, rewrite the beliefs that kept you small, and move forward without burning down everything you have built.

The self you are searching for has not gone anywhere. She has only been covered. This book is how you find her — and it is not too late. You are exactly on time.

Author Bio

Myrthia Moore, MsEd, MFT, is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist — and she came to that title the long way, which is precisely the point of this book. She studied economics at Harvard University. It was a good degree, an impressive one, and it led exactly where a degree like that is supposed to lead. By age forty, she was running a successful financial services company: the income, the respected practice, the beautiful office — and a dread that arrived every Sunday afternoon and would not lift. Then one unexpected remark from a client reopened a door she had quietly closed at eighteen. She enrolled at the University of Miami and earned her graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy while keeping her company running — building the bridge she now teaches other women to build. The Sunday dread never came back. In the years since, she has guided many accomplished women through the same passage: out from behind the False Self they built to survive, and into lives that finally fit. Stepping Into Your Purpose is the map she made of that journey — lived first, practiced daily, and offered here in the voice she uses with the women in her office: warm, direct, and certain of one thing above all, that the self you are searching for has not gone anywhere. She maintains a private practice in Coral Gables, Florida, where she lives. Her own life remains her favorite evidence that it is never too late — and that you are, in fact, exactly on time.
