In this episode of Good in Motion, Juliette sits down with licensed therapist (Ontario) 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.

"I always get centered and grounded back into my why. My why is being able to help people in their transformative process, helping people on their growth journey, helping people live in alignment into where it is they want to be. That is the thing that truly fulfills me." — Jodi Tingling
