About Cues: Reflections From A Midlife Intermission: An
In a world that values productivity and speed, why is it that so many feel burnout and emptiness? According to Dr. Jessica Petty, it can be attributed to our mass consumption and quest for more. In Cues, Jessica finds herself on a quest to live a life filled with the right stuff. A decision to take a yearlong sabbatical led to the academic study of what it means to truly lead, and eventually a new role as the CEO of a nonprofit. In a collection of essays, Jessica reflects on the lessons that brought her to the doorstep of academia once again, the gifts of rest from a sabbatical, and the unexpected wisdom that only dogs can demonstrate. In her nonprofit leadership role working with service dogs in training, she also entered the walls of local prisons, where the dogs spent nearly two years honing their skills in hopes of being placed with a person living with disabilities. Watching the journey of a service dog resulted in the intersection of connection, community, and charity that Jessica had been craving all along. In these reflections, Jessica invites you to consider the landscape of your own life, and what it can look like to leave behind the familiar and begin the life-changing practice of radical giving—both to yourself and others.
