In this episode, Lynsey sit's down with Jess Wiggins, who spent over a decade pursuing her dream career in law. From trainee to Deputy Head of a law firm, Jess had it all—on paper. But at just 33, the pressure of long hours, a demanding job, and raising two young children took its toll, leaving her burned out and questioning everything.

A chance offer of coaching from a friend gave Jess clarity she didn’t know she needed. What followed was a life-changing decision to step away from law and start a new chapter as a business and leadership coach founding Impact Coaching International.

Now, Jess helps purpose-led businesses, working with clients ranging from international cosmetics companies to law firms, fashion designers, and football training academy managers.

 Jess shares how coaching not only helped her discover a new path but also ignited a passion that transformed her career. She discusses the importance of stepping back, re-evaluating, and reinventing yourself, and how every personal and professional challenge—even the toughest—can shape and strengthen your future.

Whether you're considering a career change or exploring ways to align your work with purpose, Jess's story is an inspiring example of resilience, reflection, and reinvention.
