Episode 13 :: Understanding Your Soul's Divine Purpose
What does it truly mean to have a soul mission?

A guided integration meditation to call back fragmented soul parts
Key Themes: Soul mission vs. calling | Divine purpose | Spiritual integration | Avoiding burnout in service | Guide alignment | Soul evolution | Divine timing | Heart-centered living | Self-love as spiritual practice | Embodying your mission | Soul contracts | Spiritual team alignment
Key Concepts Clarified:
Soul Mission vs. Purpose - These terms are used interchangeably throughout the episode. Your soul mission/purpose is the divine calling your higher self designed for this lifetime—it's what you came here to learn and accomplish on behalf of the Divine.
Divine Union - The sacred connection between your soul (in your heart), your higher self, and Source/God. This is the strand of energy that connects you to your eternal home and keeps you aligned with your mission.
Integration - The process of bringing all fragmented parts and aspects of yourself back together into wholeness. When you're integrated, you're "the whole puzzle"—all parts of you want the same thing and work in harmony.
Solar Return - The moment when the sun returns to the exact position it was at your birth, typically occurring around ages 27-30. This is often when your soul mission activates and comes fully online.
In Yearning - The state of actively seeking and desiring to know your soul's purpose. This yearning itself is a sign that your mission has already begun to activate.
The Seed - A metaphor for your soul and its inherent purpose. The seed (your soul) contains your entire mission within it. When planted in the right conditions and given time, it naturally grows into its full expression.
Embodying Your Mission - Moving beyond just doing your mission to becoming it—when you are the walking, breathing expression of your purpose. This is when the mission becomes effortless because you're simply being yourself.
Divine Service - Work that serves the greater good and helps others while honoring your soul's calling. True divine service always includes helping others in some way while maintaining your own spiritual alignment.
Me, Myself, and Me! - The trinity of your existence: "Me" (you on Earth), "Myself" (your eternal soul in the divine home), and "Me again" (Source/God/the Divine). These three aspects working together create your complete spiritual system.
This Episode Is Perfect For:
Lightworkers questioning their purpose or feeling stuck in their mission
Anyone experiencing the "in yearning" phase of seeking their soul's calling
Spiritual practitioners struggling with burnout from over-giving
People who feel called to serve but don't know how to start
Anyone navigating the gap between their day job and soul mission
Healers, teachers, and guides refining their spiritual practice
This episode offers an exploration of what it means to embody your mission rather than just pursue it. Jac shares her personal journey of stepping fully into her healing work, revealing how the soul pushes us toward our purpose even when our human limitations resist. Together, Jac & Jess discuss the importance of integration, why you need to be "the whole puzzle" to truly serve your mission, and how to avoid burnout while doing divine service. The conversation includes practical guidance on recognizing when you're the best version of yourself (spoiler: it might not look how you think), understanding the difference between soul mission and day job, and why some guides aren't right for your current life path.
Through heartfelt stories and channeled wisdom, this episode illuminates the path to becoming your walking mission, how your soul's purpose is like a seed that activates in divine timing, how to know if you're truly integrated, and why loving yourself is non-negotiable when serving others.
The episode concludes with a powerful integration meditation to help you call back fragmented parts of yourself and align with your spiritual team. Whether you're just discovering your purpose or refining your service, this episode provides the soul-level clarity and practical tools you need to step fully into why you came here.
