In this In Full Light live interview, host SPEAKER A introduces Eva Chen, founder of Sacred Callings, a coaching practice that helps mid‑life professionals uncover childhood survival patterns that drive their career choices and reconnect with their innate play‑based intelligence. Eva explains how her own “second calling” emerged after years of autopilot success, a painful period of imposter syndrome, and a surrender to a higher purpose. She describes the role of play, the CARE framework she created during a pause year, and the importance of visibility, authenticity, and internal safety. The conversation explores generational dynamics—especially for Gen Xers facing retirement—and the need to shift from performance‑driven hustle to energy‑centered living. Eva shares practical resources (her Substack, an assessment tool) and envisions integrating her work into education to teach people how to align career with personal values and childhood wisdom. Throughout, the dialogue is candid, supportive, and hopeful, emphasizing that no experience is wasted and that authenticity is the most valuable asset.
