Building a Career from Your Passion with Marilena Madio
What if the thing you love most (what you’d do for free, what lights you up) could actually become your career? This episode is living proof that it can.
In this deeply heartwarming episode, Jen is joined by cover feature and muralist Marilena Madio, a woman who turned a spontaneous creative spark into a thriving, 26-year business rooted in artistry, joy, and service.
From painting her daughter’s nursery while eight months pregnant to being featured on the Property Brothers and launching her own mural membership, Marilena’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when you follow what feels good and allow your passion to lead.
Together, Jen and Marilena explore the power of being witnessed, the beauty of service over ego, and the kind of legacy that gets built when we choose to lead with love.
Whether you’re just starting out or reimagining what’s next, this conversation will meet you where you are and nudge you toward the dream that keeps tugging at you.
In this conversation, you'll hear:
- How Marilena accidentally built a career by simply following what she loved
- The pivotal moments (and people) who shaped her path
- What really led to her viral mural hitting 52 million views
- Why being seen and speaking up can open doors you never imagined
- How being unapologetically you can become your most iconic strategy
