I’ve gotta tell you something really important…
If you’re in a job you hate and you’re looking to make a career shift, do NOT look for a quick fix.
Ditch the traditional career counseling that doesn’t go deep. They give quick fixes. They tell you what jobs you should do.
But their approach doesn’t work. People end up stuck in jobs that aren’t a match, over and over again.
You deserve so much more than that.
That’s why my program, Roadmap To A Career You Love, is different. Very different.
I don’t want to see you get stuck in that vicious cycle. Which is why I use an approach that is more effective and authentic.

My program, “Roadmap To A Career You Love,” goes beyond the limitations of traditional career counseling.
In my program, you will get permission to explore your true dreams and passions. We will build upon your unique values and strengths.

Instead, I help you get in touch with your inner compass so you are empowered to make decisions about your career and your life that align with your authentic self. This is the path to true fulfillment.

The week before last, I wrote a bold message about what staying in work you hate is TRULY costing you. (you can find the article here if you missed it)
Well, I want to dive deeper into one of the BIGGEST costs I’ve heard so many times from the hundreds of people I’ve interviewed over the past 5 years.
It is the cost on your PHYSICAL HEALTH.
Yep, staying in work you hate is making you sick.
Not sure?
Well, I collected for you real words from real people over the hundreds of interviews I’ve done, in English and in French. (notes from an interview in the pic)
I can’t sleep at night.
I wake up in the middle of the night.
I get really anxious.
j’ai les nerfs a fleur de peau.
J’ai des crises d’anxiete.
I have high blood pressure.
I have panic attacks.
My mind is racing.
I am physically drained.
I am tired.
I have no energy.
I am exhausted.
Je suis tendu.
I am sick to my stomach.
I am gaining weight.
I eat to compensate from my stress.
I feel stress in my body.
I have a pain in my right shoulder.
Can you relate to any of these?
Or maybe you have other symptoms?
What are the physical symptoms you are suffering from as a result of work?
Not sure if they are related to work?
Well, I’m not saying that every single physical symptom you suffer from is the result of not liking your work.
However, I know that staying 5 days per week in work you hate is impacting negatively your health.
This is REAL.
Yes, staying in work you hate is making you sick!
Is that what you want?
If not, what are you going to do about it?
Today? This week?
Well, I can help.
I can help you feel alive, energized, and recharged at work and outside of work.
This is why I created my Roadmap To A Career You Love group program.
so that you:
- Wake up excited to go to work.
- Have a career you love that’s meaningful and fulfilling.
- Have a career that is good for your health.
This group program is open for a limited amount of time and I run it only twice a year.
So, don’t miss it!

Discover the work you love that is good for your body, mind, heart, and soul!

Do you know that you spend MORE time at work than in your romantic relationship?
Yep.
That’s right.
Let’s do the math.
In days:
- 5 days out of 7 days per week
- 240 days out of 365 days/year (if you take 4 weeks of vacation/year; this is often less in North America)
- 2,400 days out of 3,650 days for 10 years
In hours:
- 8 hours/day (minimum; it may be even more)
- 56 hours per week
- 1,920 hours per year
- 19,200 hours for 10 years.
Wow.
Imagine if you hate your work, or feel bored and unmotivated….
This is the TIME you spent unhappy and unfulfilled in your life.
It’s like being married to someone you hate, day after day, year after year.
How would that feel?
Would you stay married to someone you hate for 10, 20, 30 years?
Would you?
Probably not.
Why does work should be any different?
Why should you waste your life in work you hate for years and even decades?
Ponder that.
It does not have to be that way.
This is why I created the program Roadmap To A Career You Love.
So that you can find work you love and that gets you excited to get out of bed every morning.
I run this group program only twice a year and it is open for enrollment now for a limited period of time.

Are you (or someone you know) staying in work you hate out of fear of losing your lifestyle, your benefits, your income level?
….or not being able to pay for your mortgage, your student loan, or retirement if you change careers?
If so, listen up! this article is for you.
(or for people you know who are struggling with this. Feel free to pass it along.)
After interviewing, over the past 5 years, hundreds of people unhappy in their careers, this is the #1 concern I’m hearing from people who are considering changing careers.
- “I hate my job but I’ve such a good salary and benefits; I’m afraid I’ll lose that if I change careers.”
- “The life in [location] is so expensive; I don’t know how I’ll pay my mortgage if I leave my job.”
- “I’m concerned I’ll have to start all over again, at a lower level.”
I get it.The fear of losing the financial security can be intense and I’m not discounting it.
But, let me ask you this,Have you ever thought about what staying in work you hate
day after day, and
year after year is COSTING you?
Well, let me tell you what I’ve heard hundreds of people unhappy in their work tell me over and over.
It is costing:
- your happiness and fulfillment. You spend more time at work than in any other areas of your life. Think about hating 5 out of 7 days of each week for the rest of your life. Is that truly living?
- your self-esteem and your confidence. Every single person I talk to tells me how they are doubting themselves and their abilities. This is what spending years in work that is not a fit does to you. It erodes your confidence. The more you stay, the more you doubt yourself and the harder it is to find the confidence to get out and explore other jobs or careers. You get stuck in a vicious cycle.
- your emotional and mental health. Forcing yourself to stay in work you hate is harmful to your mental health and can lead to depression. I’ve heard people telling me they often feel depressed.
- your physical health. Staying in work you hate is draining for your body. If you consistently feel drained after work, it is taking a toll on your health. What about the sleepless nights and all the physical symptoms and illnesses, mild or severe, you start developing as a result?
- your romantic relationship. Your unhappiness and stress do not stay at work. Whether you want it or not, you bring them back home in your relationship. How does you complaining day after day about your work affect your relationship?
- your friendships and your social life. I’ve heard many people telling me how it impacts negatively their social life. They may be too drained to meet their friends or pursue their hobbies. Or they bring their negativity in their friendships.
- the happiness and development of your children. Imagine the impact (short and long term) on your children, of unhappy, stressed, emotionally and physically unavailable parents? What are you modeling to them? If you are unhappy in your work, how can they know that it is possible to be happy at work.
- and more!
Here is the TRUTH:
Staying in work you hate is costing you not only your happiness, but also the happiness of your loved ones.
- How worth it it is to have all the money you want IF your life, your health, your relationships are destroyed or eroded as a result?
- How worth it it is to have all the money you want to retire IF you end your life with excruciating regrets?
*** In her book “The Top Five Regrets of The Dying,” Bronnie Ware, a palliative nurse shares the most common regrets of the dying she heard in her practice.
The #1 is: “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” “When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. “
Here is another TRUTH:
In the long run, it is COSTING YOU WAY MORE to stay in work you hate than to explore something else.
IT IS WASTING YOUR LIFE AND YOUR HEALTH.
I get it that it can be scary to consider changing careers.
But it does not necessarily have to be.
It is why I created a step-by-step process to make it as progressive and supportive as possible, so that you don’t feel like you have to jump off a cliff and risk everything.
- First, we clarify your unique talents, drivers of satisfaction, and passions so that you can build clarity, confidence, and a strong inner compass for your next steps.
- Then, we identify the career that is uniquely tailored to you, your talents, and purpose, so that you have a clear direction and you never again doubt the direction of your career.
- Finally, we create a personalized action plan so that you know exactly what steps to take to create the career you love. I support you in designing an action plan that is progressive and respects your own pace.
You don’t necessarily have to leave your job or career right away. Actually, most of my clients don’t and take a step-by-step approach that feels right for them.
But once you are clear and confident about what you ultimately want, it is way easier to consider the different paths and progressive steps to get where you want to be without sacrificing your sanity and your financial foundations.
From that place of clarity and confidence, you will see that you have WAY more options than you think, and that you don’t have to jump off the cliff.
This is what I focus on in the program that I open twice a year.
>>> The doors of my next program officially open next week, on October 1.
Stay tuned for more details!
To a life NOT wasted!
Isabelle
P.S.
It breaks my heart to see so many people wasting their lives in work they hate.

Woohoo! My clients are rocking it!
This is one of the deepest joys of my work!
to witness my clients go from confused, bored, lost in their careers.
…..to clear, confident, and finding their path toward a career they love.
Here are two very cool stories I want to share with you to show you what is possible!
1. From unemployed and scattered to an exciting multi-career path as a Lawyer/Fashion designer/Mum!
When she started working with me, she was feeling totally unfocused; had many interests and could not figure out which one to pursue as a career. As a result, she kept changing course or found herself overcommitted and scattered. She was totally stuck in this pattern and could not get out of it.
I helped her clarify what she truly needed in her career to be fulfilled, what was her core strengths, her core drivers of satisfaction, and a career path that will fit all of them.
As a result, she is now super clear about the career she wants to pursue and where to focus her attention. And we found out that, in her case, she needs a multiple-career path to be fulfilled and satisfy both her right and left brain, and how much she cares about her family.
She is now excited about her unique multi-career path as a Lawyer/Fashion designer/Mum. She is owning it and going for it!
2. From doubtful and discouraged to being invited at a Conference for women leaders in climate change!
Her true calling is helping solve climate change and protect the planet. This is what lights her up. When we started working together through my group + 1:1 program, she had lost her motivation after being poorly paid for doing things she did not enjoy. She was doubting herself and her ability. She could not see or acknowledge her strengths. She was so discouraged that she thought she had to find work outside of the environmental protection field.
Through the process together in the group and 1:1 sessions, she slowly regained her confidence. She started to see and acknowledge her strengths. She changed an old pattern that was holding her back for many years. She found her drive again for environmental protection. Most of all, she got fired up about a super exciting project she wants to take on to support climate solutions. And what is really cool is that this project is the perfect fit for her and her strengths.
Last week, during our session, she announced that she had been invited at a Conference for women leaders in climate change!
Such a wonderful recognition of her stepping into her true leadership! This is what happens when you connect with your own inner confidence; the outer world start reflecting this reality and opportunities come your way.

They have gone so far since they started working with me 6 months ago!
Clarity, confidence, and inspired actions are now where and who they are! Yay!!
You want the same transformation in your career and confidence level?
Stay tuned for an exciting announcement coming up very soon!
Isabelle
P.S. if they did it, so can you!
