What happens when you follow the “right” path… and it still doesn’t feel right? On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna sits down with Mark White, Clinical Director at Red Mountain Sedona, to trace his decades-long journey from small-town Michigan to the red rocks of Arizona. Mark shares candid reflections on the many detours, career pivots, and soul-searching moments that ultimately led him to discover his calling in therapeutic work with young adults. From parking cars and considering nursing to kayaking wild rivers and nearly joining the Air Force, Mark’s story is a powerful reminder that discovering what isn’t your path can be just as valuable as finding what is. Now thriving in his role at Red Mountain Sedona and biking the same desert trails that inspired him decades ago, Mark’s story comes full circle—with wisdom, heart, and a reminder that no step is wasted if you stay curious.
