What is purpose? Is it something you do, or something you are?

In this inspiring book, Olympic medalist and global changemaker Karina LeBlanc shares how discovering your purpose isn’t about finding one big thing you’re meant to do, but about using who you are—your heart, your voice, your story—to make a difference in the world around you.

This is a book about asking questions, not having all the answers. It’s about knowing that purpose doesn’t look the same for everyone. And it’s about helping kids realize that no matter their age, background, or talents, they can live a life filled with meaning and impact.
Karina LeBlanc is a former professional soccer player, Olympic bronze medalist, and humanitarian. She has represented Canada in five FIFA World Cups and is a celebrated leader off the field as well. As a UNICEF Canada Ambassador and founder of the Karina LeBlanc Foundation, she empowers young women through mentorship, sports, and personal growth. Her mission is simple: help others discover their purpose and inner greatness. View titles by Karina LeBlanc
