We all hope that we spend our time doing work that inspires us and that we feel deeply connected to. But we can sometimes fall into routine, and lose the energized feeling that comes with embracing our work.

This week we will explore this helpful topic with a regular guest who always provides practical and helpful advice.

Have you ever considered making a dramatic career change that would leapfrog you from one industry to another, or from one skill set to one that is completely different? For those who hit a career plateau or feel stalled, a significant shift might be just what is called for! The prospect of such a big decision can be scary, and yet exciting too, but requires personal reflection and forethought. This week we speak with an entrepreneur and author who looked closer as the dynamics of making a career shift and will share what he learned to help others who are considering this option to help them feel re-invigorated about their work.

For most of us, we feel lucky to feel called to pursue a particular line of work, and to get the education and experience that allows us to master that work. There is something satisfying about doing work you know you are good at, that you feel connected to, and that allows you to feel fulfilled.
But what do you do when you stop feeling fulfilled by that work; when what used to inspire you no longer does? This is particularly challenging when you have spent years cultivating a specific area of expertise, or have worked for a company for a long time, and you have never really contemplated other options. This week we begin a series of discussions about how we can Re-Invigorate Work. How can we get back to feeling excited about what we do, or make changes that will allow us to rediscover the energy and passion that we once felt for the way we make a living? Our guest this week brings her decades of perspective as a business owner and coach who will share her advice on how we can feel reinvigorated.

Occasionally we meet individuals who have an interesting story to tell, or who provide life insights worth sharing, outside of the course of the regular series of topics we discuss on the Mind Body Spirit Living show. It is especially intriguing when we can connect with people who have a a perspective that is extremely unique, or who can provide us all with an illuminating view on something that we may find confusing or mysterious. Such is the case with this week’s guest.
After becoming severely ill with meningitis and being near death, she recovered to find that she was left with the ability to see beyond this world into the next. Upon realizing that she had this unique gift of connecting with Spirit, she now works with the police in the area of unsolved homicide, missing person and animal cases, and medical mysteries. We take a closer look at her story today and how she connects with spirit.
Carolyn Clapper is an Evidential Medium, Psychic, and Medical Intuit, working with Spirit to bridge the gap between this world and the next. She is also known as the “Next World Medium.” She now works with individuals and groups to connect people with family members and friends who have passed. She also works with doctors and hospitals to help to “see” and diagnose disease, and with the FBI and law enforcement, using her gifts to locate lost and missing persons.
Previously, Carolyn attended the Wisconsin Institute of Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy as well as Mount Mary University and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.
