Uncomfortable On Purpose

Marj Kupps

20 episodes

I'm Marj Kupps, and this podcast explores womanhood, growth, ambition, wellness, and the uncomfortable process of becoming who you're meant to be. Each week, we dive into conversations that go beyond a 60-second reel, from friendships, family, and relationships to success, identity, money, purpose, and the pressure to have it all figured out.

More about the show

Think of this as a cup of tea with a friend and an invitation to question what you've been taught, what you've outgrown, and who you're becoming.

Growth isn't always comfortable, and the most important conversations often aren't either.
