E034 — Can Therapy Help You Design a Career You Love?: Jodi Tingling on Creating Work That Fits Your Values


In this episode of Good in Motion, Juliette sits down with licensed therapist and career counsellor Jodi Tingling, founder of Creating New Steps.

Jodi shares how therapy-backed tools and her CLEAR career framework help people move from burnout to values-aligned work.

Together, they explore the importance of intentionality, building a career that feels right, and taking actionable steps toward clarity and fulfillment.

“You have to be able to see the vision to then achieve the vision, right?”
