The Full Cup Method: Navigating Your Executive Exit & Designing Your Next Chapter

Are you an executive feeling the weight of corporate exhaustion? You’ve spent decades building a life that looks successful on paper, but you know your profound legacy is meant to be far greater than your current output. In this episode of Musings and Modalities, I’m joined by Jess Lane, founder of The Full Cup company. Jess is an award-winning marketing and business executive with 20+ years of experience scaling world-class brands like Porsche, Visa, and Olay—and she has recently pivoted into clinical psychology. We dive deep into the messy, exhilarating reality of career transitions and how to move from a high-burnout corporate environment into your most impactful decade. What we discuss: * The Pivot: How Jess navigated the transition from iconic global brands to her own venture. * The Intersection: Why merging clinical psychology with business strategy is the key to a sustainable exit. * Mindset Blocks: Identifying the fear that keeps high-performers stuck in roles they’ve outgrown. * The Full Cup Method: What it really means to pursue purpose-driven work and how to design a next chapter that honors your true values.
