*Jess will be taking a short summer break, but she’ll be back this fall with all-new episodes.*After two seasons of sharing other people’s detours, Jess is sharing her own.In this bold and deeply personal season finale, Jess opens up about the life-altering decision she just made: quitting her corporate job without another one lined up. No safety net, no backup plan—just a deep inner knowing that it was time for something more. More purpose. More freedom. More alignment.In true Great Detour fashion, this episode is raw, real, and filled with insight for anyone standing at a crossroads and wondering if they’re allowed to want something different.In this solo episode, Jess shares:<ul><li>Why she left a stable corporate career—to explore what’s next</li><li>What finally pushed her over the edge after years of ignoring the whispers</li><li>The fears, the freedom, and the truth about leaving the default path</li><li>What’s next—and why she’s not rushing to figure it all out</li></ul>She also leaves you with 5 powerful lessons from this season of life:<ul><li>Your job, titles, and achievements are not your identity. You are not what you produce—you are who you are when all of that is stripped away. Getting in touch with that part of you will change everything.</li><li>The pause is part of the process. It’s sacred. Growth doesn’t only happen in the doing—it also happens in the quiet in-between.</li><li>Letting go is often how you find your way back to yourself. Shedding old roles or expectations can feel scary—but it’s also where freedom begins.</li><li>Clarity doesn’t come from having it all figured out—it comes from trusting yourself enough to move anyway. When you take that first brave step, the path begins to unfold. One aligned step leads to the next.</li><li>Your soul will speak in whispers and quiet nudges. It won’t beg for your attention—but it will keep coming back until you listen. Trust the pull.</li></ul>This episode is more than a life update—it’s an invitation. To slow down. To tune in. To follow the nudge. And to trust that your detour might just be the beginning of something better.Learn more about The Great Detour™ Website: <a href="https://www.thegreatdetour.com/">www.thegreatdetour.com</a> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegreatdetour/">@thegreatdetour</a>
