About Life. On Purpose

Brandi Eilert is the creator and host of Life. On Purpose — a podcast dedicated to the stories that awaken us, shape us, and remind us why we’re here. With a gift for deep listening and genuine connection, Brandi guides conversations that explore resilience, faith, healing, and the pursuit of meaning in a world that often values achievement over authenticity. A lifelong seeker and storyteller, Brandi’s own path has been one of transformation — moving through challenge, loss, and reinvention to find a deeper sense of purpose. Through her interviews with athletes, advocates, thinkers, and everyday visionaries, she creates space for the kind of truth that heals and inspires. Grounded, empathetic, and unafraid to ask the big questions, Brandi’s mission is simple: to help others live more consciously, love more deeply, and align their lives with what truly matters. When she’s not behind the mic, you’ll find her immersed in family life, college basketball games supporting her husband, creative projects, or somewhere quiet (usually home - her sanctuary) — reflecting, reading, writing, and practicing what she preaches: living on purpose.

   Skip Van Gardner on Surviving Psychological Death and His Book "Pivoting From Blue: One Year of Death, Divorce & Discovery"

   Send us Fan Mail On a June morning off the Florida coast, a routine crossing to the Bahamas became a fight for survival—a forty-one-foot boat caught between two rogue squall lines for over two hours of hell, a thousand things that could go wrong, a body dangling over 3,000 feet of water, the life raft buried and out of reach. But the storm was only the sharpest edge of the hardest year of his life: his marriage ending, his father dying, and his own mind hitting a wall he had no languag...

   Send us a text This end-of-year wrap-up episode of Life. On Purpose. is a deeply personal reflection on living with intention inside the unpredictable world of college athletics.

Men's Health Expert Dr. Tracy Gapin on Why Toxins Mean Trouble for Testosterone Levels

Published 12 Sept 2022 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Hmm. where they're just kind of going through the motions. I see so many high-performing guys who are incredibly stressed out. They're not sleeping well. They're working 10, 12-hour days at work. And what all that's doing, lack of sleep and chronic stress, is giving guys chronically elevated cortisol levels, your stress hormone, which crushes testosterone as well. Yeah.
