Joyful Journey Academy
A Career Refresh
Your career pivot starts with understanding what is holding you back from change. In this workshop I explore the most common reasons you are staying stuck in a job that drains you. Then Colleen Patel helps you determine how to break free of the most common reason: financial constraints.
Recalculating: Your M.A.P. to Joy
The show about how career zigzags help us find joy in every season of life. Career zigzags aren't wrong turns — they're your path to joyful work. I'm Marie Clark, career transition coach, helping women move from soul-draining jobs to careers that light them up. Each episode features real people who took the leap: the fear, the finances, the first scary step. No fluff — just honest conversations about what it actually took.
Because your career GPS isn't broken just because it says "recalculating." That's not failure. That's your path finding you.
Resilience
How to create and build resilience in ourselves, using lessons from marathon swimming.
In this inspiring presentation, marathon swimmer and career coach Marie Clark shares how surviving a grueling, eight-mile open-ocean swim taught her the true meaning of resilience in action. Far from a fixed trait we either have or don't, resilience is a trainable brain muscle that can be deliberately developed through progressive, micro-habits and the power of community. Attendees will explore the four core pillars of resilience and discover the "M.O.V.E. to J.O.Y. Framework™," a practical system designed to reduce stress, improve physical health, and transform daily routines into anchors for growth. By learning how to create space for adversity and harness emotional energy, you will leave equipped to build the mental fortitude needed to overcome hard times and thrive. Join us to discover how building resilience can supercharge your career, your family, and your path to lasting joy.
