Overcoming Fear and Finding Career Confidence with Cori Myka

In this episode of Shift Your Day Job, I sit down with Cori Myka, founder of Calm Within Adult Swim, to talk about her incredible journey from a fearful swimmer to a leader in adult swim education. With over 25 years of experience, Cori has helped adults overcome their fear of water, build confidence, and even train swim instructors through her innovative programs and retreats.

We explore the power of mindfulness, self-trust, and incremental growth—not just in swimming, but in life and career transitions. Cori shares how embracing vulnerability and curiosity led her to pivot her business and create a career she truly loves.

Her insights on fear, resilience, and self-compassion will inspire you to face your own challenges with courage. Tune in to hear Cori’s story and learn how to take small, meaningful steps toward a career and life that feel truly aligned.
