#94 Shifting Careers and Purpose with Melanie Duriez

In this episode, we talk to Melanie Duriez. She describes herself as a curious nature lover who is empathic and can relate to others’ feelings. Melanie lives in Canada. Melanie tells us about sitting on a comma with dissatisfaction in her life. During the pandemic and after several major life events, Melanie found herself being drawn away from being an introverted hermit to being curious about other people, being of service and connection. Her experience with cancer, divorce, quitting drinking and her career led her to a dream one night that sprung her forward into the unknown and facing her fear of being seen and heard. What follows is a journey of exploration, experimentation and a whole new path forward. Tune in to hear what Melanie means when she says “cancer taught me how to ask for and receive help”. You can find Melanie on:Website:  www.melanieduriez.comInstagram:  @melduriezcoachingEmail:  [email protected] would like to acknowledge the following individuals, organizations and/or causes that matter to her and invite you to consider supporting them and/or sharing their messages:The Sober Club  www.thesoberclub.com  The opposite of addiction is connection.The Sober Club will connect to like-minded people and experts where you will be inspired, motivated and empowered to live your best life.Positive News  www.positive.news  The inspiring current affairs magazine.
