264: Quitting your job as a spiritual practice

One of the questions I get asked about most is a combo of "How can I leave my soul-sucking job to start my own creative or healing business?" plus "How can I do this when I don't have a way to bridge the gap the income?" I address this question with the help of Tarot today, because this is a huge theme I see coming for 2026: It's time to quit, re-evaluate, or somehow seriously shift your soul-sucking job, for sure, so you can step into purpose. That message has been coming through loud and clear the last few months. 

What if you could view this act of leaving the safety of traditional employment, which terrifies most of us HSPs, as a spiritual practice? Of faith, of trust, of believing you have a divine mission on your heart? 

In today's episode, I do a message from your higher selves about leaving your job, and also share 5 reasons I think that quitting your corporate job is one of the most spiritual things you could ever do.
