- They discuss using difficult periods like 2020 as a pause to look inward, reprioritize what matters, and decide who you want to be moving forward.

She explains that, as of January 2021, she sees her purpose as empowering, inspiring, and entertaining, with entertainment serving as a vehicle for the other two.
Doing your best in your lane is a valid way to contribute to the world.
She shares a conversation with Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who told her that helping the world can come from doing what you do best and being the best you can be at it.
A career can be a pathway to a calling rather than proof you’re off-track.
Jay contrasts careers (which can feel like pushing) with callings (which can feel like being pulled), and adds that careers can evolve into callings when you treat each stage as preparation.
Commitment and openness in the job you have can unlock evolution into new capabilities.
Jennifer says that even if something doesn’t feel fully right, putting your heart and soul into it will lead to growth and the next opportunity; she links striving for greatness with staying open to learning adjacent roles.
Connection and meaning can matter more than being the most technically ‘best.’
She recounts learning early as a dancer that when you can’t win on pure technique, you can still stand out through connection, passion, and making every move mean something.
