Following Joy & Starting Over with Jackie Kai Ellis

What if the life you built isn’t the one you were meant to live? In this deeply moving episode of Big Asian Energy, I sit down with Jackie Kai Ellis—designer, award-winning pastry chef, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of The Measure of My Powers. Jackie opens up about burnout, depression, and the courage it took to walk away from a life that looked successful but didn’t feel fulfilling. Through vulnerability, creativity, and a chocolate chip cookie, she found her way back to herself—and built something entirely new. What You’ll Learn: How burnout and self-doubt can become turning points toward reinvention Why following small joys can unlock life-changing clarity How Jackie overcame cultural and personal fears to start over in her 30s The reality of family pressure, identity, and pursuing joy as an Asian woman How to trust yourself, even when the path isn’t clear Connect with Jackie Kai Ellis!Website:https://www.jackiekaiellis.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jackiekaiellis Let’s connect on socials!
