The First & Second Arc of Life

Описание: In this episode of Returning to Soul, Jessie Brown and Jonathan Lowsley explore the powerful concept of life arcs, inspired by Michael J. Meade’s Awakening the Soul.

Together, they unpack the transition from the first arc of life — focused on achievement, approval, and external success — into the second arc, where the soul invites us inward toward alignment, authenticity, and deeper purpose.

For high-achieving professionals, this shift can feel unsettling. It requires slowing down, listening to whispers , and allowing the “little self” to soften so the deeper self can lead.

In This Episode, We Explore:
Why the first arc of life centers on achievement and social approval
How cultural conditioning keeps many professionals stuck in overachievement
What signals it might be time to step into the second arc
Why slowing down is essential to hear the soul’s whispers
The role of inner healing in authentic career alignment
How the “little self” (ego) both protects and limits us
Why the journey of self-discovery is nonlinear and uncomfortable
The call to adventure as a return to purpose
How service becomes a natural expression of aligned living
