The Big Life Pivot Episode 3: Jac Godfrey

In this episode of The Big Life Pivot, Ursula speaks with Jac Godfrey about leaving a successful legal career and stepping into a very different way of living and working through yoga. Jac’s story is not one of dramatic escape or sudden transformation. She loved the legal profession and built a meaningful career within it. But over time, something shifted. As the profession changed around her, the work began to feel less human, less sustainable, and less aligned with who she was becoming. What began as a yoga class after the birth of her daughter gradually became something much bigger: a path back to herself, a new relationship with her mind, and eventually a whole new professional identity. This conversation explores the courage of listening to what no longer fits, the exhaustion of carrying a new future before you can share it, and the quiet power of trusting that life can become not just okay, but brilliant. In This Episode Ursula and Jac explore: How a single yoga class became the start of a deeper life shift Why Jac’s move away from law was not about hating her old career The changes in the legal profession that made the work feel less human The slow overlap between an old identity and a new one The role counselling played in helping her make sense of the pivot Why keeping big change private for a while can feel exhausting How support, timing, and stepping stones can make reinvention possible What success looks like when it is rooted in freedom, health, and groundedness
