In this episode of Mind Over Matter, we unpack life transitions not as random chaos but as invitations into your own hero’s journey. Dr. Jessie from A Soul’s Quest (ASQ) shares how empty nest, identity loss and leaving a six-figure corporate role became catalysts for deep self-discovery instead of breakdown.
She explains her “engine and dashboard” analogy. how core drives like belonging and purpose power our lives while emotions show up as warning lights we usually ignore. Through the PEP framework (Perspective, Experience, Philosophy), she lays out a practical way to pause, reframe your story and respond instead of freeze when everything familiar falls away.
If you’re feeling untethered by career changes, parenting shifts or spiritual burnout, this conversation gives you grounded language and tools to recognize your call to adventure and step into the next chapter with intention.
About the Guest :
Dr. Jessie is a psychospritual guide, educator and co-creator of A Soul’s Quest (ASQ) and ASQ Empowerment Services. Drawing on research, lived experience and the hero’s journey, she helps people move through major life transitions. from toxic workplaces and identity loss to empty nest and reinvention. Her work focuses on core drives, emotional awareness and building a philosophy of life rooted in authentic belonging and self-trust.
Key Takeaways:
-
Empty nest and other life transitions can trigger a loss of purpose. but they’re often signals that your core drives for belonging, meaning and contribution are ready to evolve.
-
Core drives are like the “engine” of your life, while emotions act as dashboard lights. when you feel loneliness, shame or depletion, it’s data, not a verdict on your worth.
-
The PEP framework helps you navigate disruption. Perspective (step back), Experience (ask “what can I learn” instead of “why me”), and Philosophy (decide how you’ll now show up in life).
-
The hero’s journey shows up in real life as a call to adventure. for Dr. Jessie, that meant leaving a well-paid but toxic corporate job to fully commit to A Soul’s Quest.
-
Daily anchoring practices like having a dedicated reflection space, journaling honestly and speaking to your inner child with grace help you stay grounded during emotional and spiritual depletion.
