S9E1 - Passion, Purpose & Career - Pursuing Your Passions Limited Podcast Series

School of Embodied Arts Podcast with Jenna Ward

Considering a career transition? Desiring to deepen the quota of passion & purpose in your work (& life)?

Transitioning to more meaningful work is something I’m constantly involved with.

Our School supports women to deepen their professional mastery in the embodied arts & often transition into careers as coaches. I’m also personally on my third career. Plus I feel like I have this conversation frequently with many of my girlfriends (including one this last weekend who has just closed the door on her career without knowing what’s next).

I decided to create a 9-Part Limited Podcast Series exploring the deeper dynamics of changing careers & what it means to pursue your passions.

This series is perfect for the woman who’s quietly seeking a career change, actively navigating the chaos of change, or just wants to become a more interesting person in the way you relate to your work.

Today we kick the series off with a deep dive into passion, purpose & career. Exploring:

• Why we might feel hollow in our current career & where to find the (true) source of our dissatisfaction
• Is your career your purpose? A discussion of life, meaning & what we are really looking for in a new job.
• Why creativity & becoming an interesting person is more important than finding the next career to pursue
• The (necessary) descent into the unknown and why we must dissolve old identities in order to emerge with a meaningful new path
• We dive into my first two career transitions (one was a failure but the second was much more successful)
• 4 tips for feeling safe & secure in the swirls of change
