Purpose is derived from the reason and intention behind an action rather than the activity itself.

“people think like your purpose is to be a speaker or your purpose is to be a podcaster and it's like well none of those are a purpose they are vehicles and they are platforms and their modes of sharing a message but the purpose is the reason why you do it and your intention”

It is more stable to base one's identity on inherent traits rather than specific activities.

“it was much more stable and sturdy for me to attach my identity not to a specific thing but to the traits of that thing that lit me up”
