What do you do when the path you are on no longer feels like yours? In this episode of The Healing Mindset, host Ria talks with four time award winning author JJ DiGeronimo about navigating career transitions with intention, the difference between temporary burnout and a deeper call for change, and why the first step rarely needs to be dramatic.
JJ shares how she built a 12,000 member women in technology community off the side of her desk, why journaling three full pages can reveal what is really driving your restlessness, and how becoming present in the moment changed the way she relates to success. This conversation offers a grounded, practical way to start moving toward a life that feels more aligned, without needing to quit anything first.
About the Guest:
JJ DiGeronimo is a four time award winning author who writes books for women navigating different life stages, from career growth to inner alignment. She spent over 20 years in technology, much of it in Silicon Valley, and is dyslexic, which makes her journey into writing especially meaningful. Her latest book, Illuminate Your Path, explores six phases of spiritual awakening.
Key Takeaways:
- Start off the side of your desk. You do not need to quit your job to begin building something new. A few hours a week is enough to find out if it is worth pursuing.
- Write three full pages without stopping to find out what is really driving your restlessness. The truth tends to surface by the third page, not the first.
- Being present is a skill you can train. Use your senses, your feet on the ground, your fingers, your surroundings, to anchor yourself in the current moment.
- Do an honest energy inventory. Notice whether you default to fear and worry or to light and possibility, since that pattern shapes what you attract.
- There are no wrong turns, only lessons. Ask what you are meant to learn from a situation instead of asking why it happened to you.
- Clarity gets easier once you start moving. The path often feels most intimidating before you take the first step.
