What happens when you walk away from a career that's been your entire identity with nothing lined up? In this solo episode, Jess shares what her year off actually looked like: the grief, the stillness, the slow mornings, and the uncomfortable process of figuring out who you are when the job title is gone. If you've ever felt the pull to stop, pivot, or start over but talked yourself out of it, this one is for you.
In this episode:
- What it really feels like to leave something stable when the next step isn't clear
- How to recognize when something in your life has reached its expiration date
- Why stripping away achievement and performance might be the most important thing you ever do
- How to approach a job search (or any big life transition) without white-knuckling it
- A simple visualization practice you can start using tonight
- Why being single, unemployed, or in between doesn't mean something is wrong with you
- What it looks like to follow your intuition when it's asking you to do something scary
