Episode 15: From Breakdown to Breakthrough: Reclaiming Purpose After Hitting Rock Bottom with Jay Jackson

What if the moment you lost everything wasn’t your breaking point—but your initiation into the kind of leadership, clarity, and power you never could’ve accessed any other way?

In this soul-shifting episode of Fear to Freedom, One Story at a Time, Cory Thorell welcomes Jay Jackson, veteran, visionary, and founder of the Disruptive Leadership Alliance.

After being unexpectedly forced out of his military career, Jay spiraled through darkness—only to emerge with a fire-forged mission to help others reclaim their identity, income, and inner freedom. Cory and Jay dive deep into the real cost of transformation, the wounds that drive our purpose, and how we rise by remembering what was always within us.

This isn’t just an interview—it’s a blueprint for personal sovereignty, spiritual alignment, and sustainable success.

Key Takeaways:

Why losing everything may be your greatest gift if you’re willing to receive it.

How Jay transformed trauma and transition into a mission that multiplies global impact.

The powerful distinction between reaction and creation—and how to collapse time through intention.

How fear isn’t the enemy—it’s your unrecognized ally and compass for growth.

The three shamanic stages of healing: be decided, lead with your heart, stay the course.
