Have you ever wanted something so badly—only to find out it wasn’t meant for you? In this heartfelt solo episode, I share a personal story about a job that didn’t work out… and how that unexpected “no” turned into a powerful life lesson.

If you’re in a season of uncertainty or feeling like things aren’t going your way, this is your reminder: sometimes the delay is the protection. Sometimes, rejection is divine redirection.

Tune in to explore how to reframe life’s disappointments, trust the detours, and keep moving forward on your unique path of becoming.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• A personal story of disappointment (and hindsight clarity)
  
  
  
• How to reframe rejection as spiritual or intuitive redirection
  
  
  
• A gentle reminder for women standing on the edge of “what’s next”
  
  
  
• An invitation to the Creative Breakthroughs Experience (July 11–13)

What if your years in corporate weren’t wasted — but the exact foundation you need to build the next chapter?

In this powerful episode, Clarissa sits down with Tabatha Jones, career advancement coach, author, and The Corporate Escape Sherpa™, to talk about what it really takes to leave corporate, start a business, and thrive in midlife — without burning everything to the ground.

Tabatha shares her own story of leaving a 20+ year career in telecom to become a leadership coach at 50, and how she now guides other Gen X women through career reinvention with strategy, self-trust, and solid financial planning.

If you’re standing in the messy middle of “Should I stay or should I go?” — this episode is your sign to take the next brave step.

What You’ll Hear:

• The real reason many midlife women feel stuck in corporate
• A key essential before you make the leap
• How to leverage your corporate skills to build a business
• What it means to lead yourself first before leading others
• How Tabatha helps women increase visibility and advocate for themselves
• Two non-negotiable in reinvention
