Purpose isn't something you create.
It's something you remember.
Watch The Dig Overview, a 6-minute walkthrough of the entire process,
so you know exactly what you're saying yes to before you say it.
so, what’s “the dig”?
It’s a private, customized experience that excavates your story and your purpose, so you can align your actions and words with your truest self. The Dig reveals your untapped awesomeness just waiting to be remembered. It helps you claim who you are, what you stand for, and how to align your life, work, and message with it.
Lewis's word is FREEDOM. Jasmine’s is ENOUGH. Yours will be something else entirely, and it will be just as exact.

People usually find The Dig at a threshold moment.
A career change, in any direction. A big lifestyle transition. An important choice to make. Stepping into a bigger leadership role. A health diagnosis, a loss, a spiritual awakening. A pull to teach or speak. Or simply the growing awareness that you’re compelled to leave behind a legacy that matters.
Most people who come to The Dig aren't in crisis. They're just tired. Tired of feeling unclear about what’s next. Tired of waiting for an ah-ha that never arrives. Tired of wasting the precious moment that is NOW.
They're not alone. And the unclarity isn't permanent.
How this is different.
This isn't a personality test.
There's no type, no category, no four-letter code that a few hundred thousand other people also got. The Dig is built entirely from your own life, your own story, your own patterns, guided live by an actual human, not an algorithm. It's not therapy, but people cry a lot. Not because they’re sad. But because they are SEEN.
There's a clear start, a clear end, and you leave with something concrete: a word, a unique operating system, a grounding question to be your guide, and a statement to summarize it all.
meet Your guide
I founded The Dig Company after selling my first startup, Girls Fight Back. I realized I'd spent a decade driven by something I'd never actually named: authenticity. Once I found my own word, everything got clearer. I've since facilitated over a thousand Digs, and every one still gives me chills. It's not a service I offer. It's my soul work.
Over 1,000 Digs facilitated since 2012. One book. One process. One word at a time.
"Purpose isn't something you build. It's something you excavate. The Dig doesn't hand you a new identity or a framework to memorize. It uncovers the truth your life has already been organizing around, so you can stop performing clarity and start living it."
— Erin Weed, Founder of The Dig
As seen on Good Life Project with Jonathan Fields, where Erin dug host Jonathan live on the show.
Just One Word, the book
The same method, distilled into a book you can work through on your own.
"What Erin has developed is far more powerful than a branding exercise. It's a method for cutting through the noise and getting to the core of who you are and what you're here to do."
— Jonathan Fields, host of Good Life Project

What you'll walk away with
1.Clarity on your purpose, distilled to just one word.
2.Your unique core message.
3.A user manual for yourself, your Human Operating System, in writing.
4.A personalized Dig Report to capture the experience.
5.The ability to clearly and confidently connect with anyone.
Without language for who you are, you keep borrowing other people's words. The pull you feel toward something more stays a feeling instead of a direction.
The Dig doesn't ask you to become someone new. It asks you to finally meet who you've been the whole time.
