On this episode of The Motovation Podcast, we sit down with Jessica Soodeen—a woman whose life journey spans race engineering, global corporate leadership, and some of the deepest personal transformation a person can face.

Jessica’s career has taken her from the motorsports circuits of Europe to executive roles at companies like Honeywell, where she led global initiatives with her signature blend of precision and adaptability. But it was a different kind of challenge—stepping away from everything to become her mother’s full-time caregiver at end of life—that truly reshaped her identity.

In this raw and deeply human conversation, Jessica opens up about what happens when your professional momentum is forced to a standstill, and the person you thought you were suddenly disappears. What followed was a powerful tale of grief, growth, and reinvention.

We talk about:

• The emotional toll and quiet resilience of caregiving
• What it means to completely lose your sense of identity—and how to begin again
• The role of empathy in leadership, life, and healing
• How Jessica is navigating her next chapter, grounded in authenticity and purpose

This isn’t just a story of reinvention—it’s a story about riding through the hardest terrain life throws your way, and still finding a way to move forward.
