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.

  Tracy Buikema: "I Would Pay Double for This"

  Sep 2, 202611 minS1

  <p>This is the last episode of Season 1. And it felt right to close it out with a story about not having to blow up your whole life to build something new.</p><p><br></p><p>Tracy Buikema spent over 20 years as a massage therapist, expert enough that she went on to teach it at the college level for over a decade. But somewhere along the way, her sessions started turning into something more. Clients weren't just talking about sore shoulders. They were talking about their stress, their lives, what was keeping them stuck.</p><p>Then one client — so...

  Cathy Derksen: She Blew Up Her Marriage and Her Career at the Same Time

  Aug 27, 202614 minS1

  <p>Cathy Derksen spent 25 years in medical genetics, in hospital labs and toxic environments. Twenty-five years of trusting the data over her gut.</p><p>Then, in one stretch of her life, she blew up almost everything at once: she left that 25-year career and her 23-year marriage, together, with two teenagers watching.</p><p>She'd told herself she was staying — in the marriage, in the safety of routine — for her kids.

  Marie Clark: Do Not Let Work Kill You

  Aug 20, 202616 minS1

  <p>For once, I'm the one answering the questions.</p><p>This is episode 10 of Recalculating: Your M.A.P. to Joy, and guest host Johanna Danaher flipped the mic on me to dig into my own career zigzag — the one I usually ask other people about.</p><p>I spent 20 years building an IT career. A good one, actually. Started in special education, pivoted to IT help desk because it made logical sense at the time, climbed the ladder into project management. About 18 years in, it was killing me. And not metaphorically, but actually killing me.</p><p>The mo...

  Susan Bianchi: The Business Changed. The Purpose Never Did.

  Aug 12, 202620 minS1

  <p>Susan Bianchi has run three different businesses. A restaurant. A performance and wellness practice that's worked with NFL teams and Wimbledon players. Women's workshops and open water swim retreats. On paper, none of them look alike.</p><p>Underneath, they're the same business. Human potential — helping people be all of who they can be — is the thread Susan keeps pulling, no matter what she's calling the work that year.</p><p>It didn't start that way. Susan graduated ready to climb the corporate ladder, landed in food manufacturing, and within a year knew it wasn't right. The restrictions. The glas...

  Kristy Darby: What Her Body Knew Before She Did

  Aug 5, 202612 minS1

  <p>Kristy Darby spent almost twenty years in the legal field — the DA's office, private practice, and three attempts at the bar exam that never worked out. She stayed anyway, holding onto a reason bigger than the job: her brother was killed by a drunk driver when she was a baby, and prosecuting cases like his was supposed to be her way of making that mean something.</p><p>Then her body started keeping a different kind of record. Hives, all over her body. Every test came back normal. Meanwhile her mom got a third cancer diagnosis, her husband cut th...
