Work with Jordana

Hi! I’m Jordana.

While I’ve always been inclined towards helping others and having a positive impact, my coaching practice was inspired by my personal journey through extreme burnout. Despite finding myself in a job with a great title, really important responsibilities, with a team I loved and believed in, serving thousands of clients a day, I found myself feeling the opposite of inspired - I was exhausted, angry and heartbroken. I no longer felt that the work I had dedicated so many years to was aligned with my values and my needs. Even worse, as a leader I felt I was faced with impossible decisions every day that prevented me from caring for my team and the patients we served the way I knew they deserved to be cared for. For me, it took taking a break and a step back to begin the process of healing and returning to finding joy in my career. Working alongside a coach to help me process my limiting beliefs, guilt, and fears, and rediscover my true strengths, desires and values was a game-changing part of this journey for me that inspired me to train and become certified as a professional coach so I can help others experiencing the pain and loneliness of burnout.

My clients — most of whom are clinicians, healthcare leaders, operators, or other passionate helpers in the values-based professions — come to me because they feel tired, confused, or resentful about their work. Through the coaching partnership and tried-and-true skills and exercises we complete together, I help them rediscover the joy and passion that once fueled their careers, while offering opportunities to rest, heal, and explore new pathways for impact. Doing the hard work to make changes and focus on what's in your control is a necessary first step to making any type of transition in your career - whether it's back to the role you once loved but with a renewed passion (and more effective boundaries) or making the decision to pivot successfully into your next professional chapter.

Wherever you’re at, I’d love the opportunity to chat with you and figure out if I can help in any way. Regardless of whether we’re the right fit for one another, I believe even brief moments of real connection absolutely help, and I’m here for you! Click below to book a free exploratory call with me!

Why Joy Journey?

Can we ask you a question? It’s a bit personal, so bear with us…

When was the last time you felt truly invigorated by the work you do every day?

Since you’re here, there’s a good chance you’re struggling to answer that question easily. For both of us, we knew it was time for a real change when, in our work as clinical social workers, we could no longer remember the last time we felt anything but…

…exhausted

…dreading going to work

…physically and emotionally burned out

We couldn’t remember the last time the careers we’d chosen so carefully, with such meaningful purpose, had brought us any amount of joy.

And we knew we were not alone.

Fellow healthcare providers — especially our fellow female healthcare providers — informally shared their frustrations with us every day. That evolved into a monthly call where we facilitated meaningful discussions, support, and guidance for people in similar positions we had found ourselves in.

We knew there was a need for so much more. And thus, Joy Journey was born.

But, who are we, really?

Here’s what we stand for
