When you quit your job, it’s easy to think the hard part is over. You’ve made the bold move, chosen freedom, and finally said no to something that didn’t fit. But as today’s episode explores, leaving is just the beginning.The real work begins when you start to build something of your own — because without intention, your new worklife can start to look a lot like the system you just left.In this episode, Alisa unpacks the two meanings of the word pivot:the empowering kind that completely changes the foundation of how you work,and the kind that keeps you spinning in circles around old habits, fears, and burnout patterns.She shares a client story about taking voluntary redundancy, starting a holistic wellness business, and learning what it truly means to pivot with purpose — from clarity, not panic.You’ll learn:Why quitting your job is just the first step in real career changeThe seven foundations of a sustainable, regenerative businessHow to reconnect with your why and build meaningful work that lastsWhat it takes to move from burnout and fear to confidence and clarityHow to make bold changes without recreating corporate pressure in disguiseIf you’re ready to stop spinning and start creating meaningful work on your own terms, this episode is for you.If you’ve quit your job — or you’re ready to — but want to build something that lasts, the Meaningful Business Incubator is where that happens.It’s a six-month journey to design, test, and launch your next chapter — with structure, clarity, and community every step of the way.Book a call with me to learn more.Next steps:✦ Book Courage to Quit — a 90-minute session to create your personalised exit plan.❖ Subscribe to my emails — your weekly lifeline out of corporate.↗ Explore more and read transcripts on the website.Related episodes:→ EP55: Caught in the Corporate Layoffs? 6 Regenerative Approaches for What Comes Next→ EP50: You Don’t Need a New Job!

What happens when your job becomes your identity?In this episode, we explore the deep emotional work behind career change — the moment when you realise that the title you’ve spent years building no longer fits who you are.You’ll hear how one GP, completely burned out by a system she once loved, began to rediscover herself beyond her role.

“I remember one Christmas Eve… instead of being with my husband and not-yet-two-year-old, I was finishing a project because that felt more important.” If your career looks great on paper but feels wrong in your bones, Clare’s story will resonate. This is the first episode in my Finding Purpose series—monthly conversations with clients and other brave souls who’ve left corporate, done the inner and outer work, and built regenerative careers on their own terms. These episodes are about real transitions, not highlight reels: the fears, the false starts, and the choices that lead to meaningful work.Clare spent years in London’s creative agencies, living the long-hours rhythm that corporate culture normalises. Then life forced a rethink—pregnancy, twins, a move out of London, and the dawning realisation that the “fun had stopped.” We talk about how burnout drains the imagination you need for career change, and how the fear of slipping back into burnout can keep you in limbo even after you’ve left. Together we reframe work from the ground up: start with how you want life to feel (family first, balance, a sense of craft) and only then design the work around it.What’s powerful about Clare’s path is that nothing was wasted. She turned years of brand/communications experience and a master’s in sustainability into Story Labs—participatory, community-led sessions that surface lived experience and weave it into collective narratives for places, projects and changemakers. Listen for:How corporate conditioning leads us to over-work—and why we double down on it ourselves.Why burnout doesn’t end when you quit, and how to move despite the fear of repeating old patterns.The mindset shifts that unlocked momentum: slowing down, committing, and building something to last.If Clare’s journey resonates and you’re ready to reimagine your relationship with work, let’s talk. The Meaningful Business Incubator is my six-month intensive coaching program where we will design, test, and launch your regenerative business or offering. Book a call with me and we’ll talk about what the Meaningful Business Incubator can unlock for you.Related episodes:→ EP51: Is Corporate Burnout Blocking Your Career Change?→ EP50: You Don’t Need a New Job!

Corporate burnout can block your career change long before you even hand in your notice — and long after you’ve left. Before you quit, burnout drains the confidence and imagination you need to move. After you quit, fear of slipping back into overwhelm and exhaustion can stop you from building the meaningful work you really want.We’ll dig into what’s actually behind burnout — not just overwork, but the deeper cost of squeezing yourself into an extractive system that values output over life.In this episode, you’ll learn how to:Understand the hidden roots of corporate burnout and why it lingersRecognise how burnout holds you back from career change and meaningful workQuit consciously and rebuild your relationship with work in a regenerative wayFind your purpose without repeating the same exhausting patternsReady to act? Courage to Quit is a confidential 90-minute session to take you from trapped and anxious to clear, grounded, and free — with a personalised exit plan you can act on with confidence.Next steps:✦ Book Courage to Quit — a 90-minute session to create your personalised exit plan.❖ Subscribe to my emails — your weekly lifeline out of corporate.↗ Explore more and read transcripts on the website.Related episodes:→ EP11: How To Talk To Your Partner About Regenerative Career Change→ EP7: Pause Is a Career Power Move (Regenerative Unsticking Point with Shweta)→ EP3: Tips to Avoid Corporate Greenwash in Your Sustainable Job SearchHosted by Ausha.

Most people think the answer to corporate stress or burnout is to get a new job. But here’s the truth: without rethinking your relationship to work itself, you’ll end up in the same cycle of dissatisfaction, stress, and burnout — just in a slightly shinier package.In this episode of From Corporate to Calling, I share why career change means so much more than job-hopping. I’ll walk you through three powerful ways my clients have approached purposeful career change — balancing meaningful work with family life; immersing in a passion field like regenerative agriculture; and building a bold entrepreneurial vision from the ground up.What you’ll hear in this episode:Why jumping to a “better” job often leaves you with the same problemsThe difference between incremental change and true career change with purposeReal client stories of leaving corporate systems to find meaningful work and build regenerative careersThree pathways to find your purpose and create life-giving work outside of burnout cultureIf your current role looks great on paper but feels wrong in your bones, this episode will help you see why the answer isn’t just a new job — it’s a purposeful career change. Remember: it takes courage to quit. Hold onto that courage, and use it to step into a path that brings you back to life.Next steps:✦ Book Courage to Quit — a 90-minute session to create your personalised exit plan.❖ Subscribe to my emails — your weekly lifeline out of corporate.↗ Explore more and read transcripts on the website.Related episodes:→ EP49: The 3 Types of People Who Need to Quit Corporate (and Find Meaningful Work)→ EP44: Making Space for Change,The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career Transition→ EP28: Five Reasons Why You Should INVEST in RADICAL Career ChangeHosted by Ausha.

If your career looks great on paper but feels wrong in your bones, you’re not alone. In this first episode of the relaunched From Corporate to Calling, I share the 3 types of people who urgently need to quit corporate — and why finding meaningful work isn’t optional, it’s essential.Whether you’re:stuck in a corporate job that drains your soul,working in a nonprofit, startup, or sustainability role that still feels like corporate in disguise, orcarrying the mindset of corporate even after you’ve left……this episode is a wake-up call and a lifeline into meaningful work.You’ll hear why staying in systems that demand we sacrifice our humanity leads to burnout, misalignment, and the loss of work–life balance — and why choosing a career change, especially in your 40s or beyond, can help you find your purpose, your calling, and a more fulfilling career.It takes courage to quit your job and create a values-driven, purposeful career. But staying stuck isn’t neutral. Our inaction harms us and the world around us.If you’re questioning your work life and wondering if it’s time to make a change, this episode will help you see yourself clearly — and remind you that meaningful, regenerative work is possible.Next steps:✦ Book Courage to Quit — a 90-minute session to create your personalised exit plan.❖ Subscribe to my emails — your weekly lifeline out of corporate.↗ Explore more and read transcripts on the website.Related episodes:→ EP28: Five Reasons Why You Should INVEST in RADICAL Career Change→ EP26: The REAL reason you haven't made the career change you want→ EP25: What Is Your Corporate Salary Costing You?Hosted by Ausha.

I’m recording this bonus episode on location in Canary Wharf, one of London’s biggest business districts. I’m surrounded by glass towers that house the likes of Chase, JP Morgan, and Revolut—a far cry from the woods where I usually do my best thinking, coaching, and wandering.For years, the woods have been my sanctuary. They’ve been my escape from a business world where I once felt I had to put on a mask, hide parts of myself, and succeed on someone else’s terms. But here’s the truth: while I’ve loved that season of retreat and reconnection with nature, staying in the woods has also meant expecting people to come and find me there.The reality is, the people who most urgently need my support—the ones suffocating in corporate roles that look good on paper but feel wrong in their bones—are right here, inside these buildings. They don’t have time to wander out into the sunshine, let alone the forest. If I want to be a lifeline for them, I need to step out of my own comfort zone and meet them where they are.That’s why I’m relaunching this podcast as From Corporate to Calling. I’ll still bring the same honesty and exploration, but with a sharper focus on helping you quit corporate and discover meaningful, regenerative work.If you’ve been with me since the beginning, thank you for walking this path with me—and if you’re new, welcome. You’re in the right place if you’re ready to leave behind burnout and misalignment, and redirect your skills into work that brings life back to you and to the world around you.The first episode of the relaunch is already waiting for you—let’s begin this new chapter together.Next steps:✦ Book Courage to Quit — a 90-minute session to create your personalised exit plan.❖ Subscribe to my emails — your weekly lifeline out of corporate.↗ Explore more and read transcripts on the website.Related episodes:→ EP45: Age and regenerative work — a joyful exploration!→ EP44: Making Space for Change,The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career Transition→ EP34: The most JOYFUL conversation about marketing I've ever had!

In this episode, I explore the radical and often uncomfortable role of rest in finding meaningful work. Rest isn’t just recovery from burnout or a reward for productivity—it has intrinsic value, and choosing it can be an act of resistance against the corporatized, extractive ways we’ve been taught to approach work.I share a personal story that surfaced the compulsion I still carry to maximise every moment, and reflect on why many of us associate rest with failure, laziness, or waste. Drawing on conversations, community, and the work of thinkers like Tricia Hersey, I consider what it means to:Recognise rest as foundational to regenerative careers and slow businessesSee how capitalist and colonial conditioning fuels our addiction to workUnderstand rest as a practice of receiving, not just pursuingValue being as much as we value doingExplore the resistance, fear, and anxiety that rest often triggersIf you find yourself struggling to slow down, battling inner voices that say you’re wasting time, or wondering how rest fits into meaningful work, this episode is an invitation to pause—and to see rest itself as part of co-creating your career.Next steps:Subscribe to my email for weekly reflections on cultivating meaningful work.Join me for a Wild Coaching session.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP44: Making Space for Change,The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career TransitionEP38: Three ways to care for yourself as you build your regenerative businessEP34: The most JOYFUL conversation about marketing I've ever had!

In this episode, I explore the parallels between Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way and the path of regenerative work. Both invite us to move beyond a corporatized, extractive mindset and into a more life-giving, co-creative relationship with our work.I share my own experiences with Morning Pages and creative recovery, and reflect on why pursuing regenerative work often feels like being called to artistry: messy, mystical, non-linear, and deeply human. Together, we’ll look at what it means to:See creativity and regeneration as intertwined spiritual practicesRecognise synchronicity as part of the process, not just chanceRevisit buried dreams and grieve the “nice self” we’ve outgrownEmbrace the spiral path, where old doubts resurface but with new possibility each timeIf you’re feeling blocked, doubting whether it’s too late, or wondering if your dreams are “sensible,” this episode is an invitation to see your work as art—and to allow yourself to be a conduit for something larger than yourself.Whether you’re just beginning to imagine what regenerative work could look like, or you’re in the messy middle of trying and failing, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and a reminder that you are already an artist in the making.Next steps:Subscribe to my email for weekly reflections on pursuing a regenerative worklife.Join me for a Wild Coaching session.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP46: When it’s all falling apart…EP43: Sitting With Waiting to Respond (My First Experience with Human Design)EP29:Why Your “Messy” Career is Actually Your Biggest Strength - and How to Own It!Hosted by Ausha.

What does it means when life, work, or even the wider world feels like it’s unraveling. Instead of rushing to fix, patch, or hold things together, what if we paused to ask: is this falling apart actually necessary?On the macro level, we’re witnessing systems—colonialism, white supremacy, extractive capitalism—that need to come undone. On the micro level, the same can be true for our careers, businesses, or identities. Sometimes the unraveling is painful, disorienting, even ego-shattering. And sometimes, it’s the very thing that creates space for something new to grow.I share stories from my clients who feel like their careers or businesses are crumbling, and how we’ve worked together to see that collapse not just as loss, but as the beginning of clarity. I also reflect on what it means to let go of the professional identities and systems we no longer want, even when doing so feels deeply uncomfortable.Whether you’re navigating a difficult career transition, questioning your sense of security, or simply looking for meaning in this chaotic moment we’re all living through, this episode is an invitation to sit with the discomfort of falling apart—and to imagine how the ashes might be the ground for regeneration.Next steps:Subscribe to my email for weekly reflections on pursuing a regenerative worklife.Join me for a Wild Coaching session.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP44: Making Space for Change,The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career TransitionEP38: Three ways to care for yourself as you build your regenerative business.EP34: The most JOYFUL conversation about marketing I've ever had!

Today, I’m talking about age—and why the idea that we “age out” of value, usefulness, or the possibility of starting something new is a harmful corporate story that has no place in regenerative work. Whatever stage of life you’re in, it’s possible to consciously shape a regenerative career that’s aligned with your values, your lived experience, and the kind of meaningful work you want to be doing now.I share the story of a client in midlife who was transitioning out of corporate after a long pause to raise children. She was ready to start a purpose-driven business, but struggling with the question: am I too late? Together, we explored how this chapter of life could become a source of creative power and clarity. I also share a personal story about my nan and the long-term impact of the choices we make in our 50s and beyond.Whether you’re navigating midlife, recovering from burnout, or wondering how to find meaningful work after leaving corporate, this episode is an invitation to reimagine what’s possible—and to co-create a work life that supports regenerative living, purposeful income, and the freedom to make money doing what you love, well into the next chapter.Next steps:Subscribe to my email for weekly reflections on pursuing a regenerative worklife.Join me for a Wild Coaching session.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP44: Making Space for Change,The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career TransitionEP38: Three ways to care for yourself as you build your regenerative businessEP29:Why Your “Messy” Career is Actually Your Biggest Strength - and How to Own It!Hosted by Ausha.

This week, I’m sharing what I consider to be the most essential — and perhaps most overlooked — part of any regenerative career transition: making space for change.This isn’t just about blocking out time or finding one free hour to think. It’s about creating the kind of space where real change can take root — the kind that allows something new to emerge, rather than squeezing transformation into the margins of an already full life. Space in time, space in your physical environment, space in your internal world. Space to listen, to receive, to be changed.It’s not easy. I’ve spent 15 years as an entrepreneur — a problem-solver, an instigator, a creator. My instinct is always to do. But over the past few years (and especially in the last few months), I’ve been learning what it really means to stop pushing and start preparing. To stop striving and start co-creating. To wait without knowing exactly what’s coming next.In this episode, I reflect on:The layered meaning of “make space for change”Why so many people struggle with this (myself included)How I’ve seen it play out in client journeys — and the difference it makesThe role of nature, rest, and even internal quiet as essential components of career transitionHow over-consumption (even of learning) can crowd out your ability to hear your own guidanceNext steps:Subscribe to my email for weekly reflections on pursuing a regenerative worklife.Join me for a Wild Coaching session.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP11: How To Talk To Your Partner About Regenerative Career ChangeEP7: Pause is a Career Power Move (Regenerative Unsticking Point with Shweta)EP3: Tips to Avoid Corporate Greenwash in Your Sustainable Job SearchHosted by Ausha.

This week, I’m sitting with the concept of waiting to respond — a strategy from Human Design that has challenged and changed me in unexpected ways.I share the story of how I went from skeptical outsider to reluctant-but-curious explorer after a reading with a trusted friend cracked something wide open in me. This idea — that I’m not meant to initiate, but to respond — brought up a lot of resistance at first. But the more I sat with it, the more it began to feel like a much-needed invitation: to stop pushing, to stop striving, and to begin co-creating with something larger than myself.This isn’t a how-to episode. It’s a reflection on the discomfort of waiting, the courage it takes to pause, and the possibility that opens when we stop trying to control the timing of our lives. I also share how this strategy is shaping my own regenerative path — not just in work, but in life.Next steps:Subscribe to my email for weekly reflections on pursuing a regenerative worklife.Join me for a Wild Coaching session.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP7: Pause is a Career Power Move (Regenerative Unsticking Point with Shweta)EP15: Rethinking What it Means to Thrive Through Truly Sustainable Careers (Interview with David Ko & Richard Busellato)EP36: Tending, Not Tactics: A Regenerative Approach to Growing Your BusinessHosted by Ausha.

In this episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what went right (and what didn’t) during the launch of my Purposeful Income Path.The launch has been beautiful from the outside — people are working through the framework out in nature, and some have already sent in their completed workbooks. But internally? I lost sight of a core principle I teach in both my 1:1 coaching and this mini-offer: Boundaries.Even when you're building something regenerative and purpose-driven, it’s easy to fall into unsustainable habits — especially if you’re excited and creative. I share exactly what happened when I let my own boundaries slip, what I’ve learned, and how I’m resetting.This is a vulnerable one — and I hope it helps you avoid trading one form of burnout for another.Want to define your own regenerative income path — without the hustle?Download the Purposeful Income Path and get my personal video feedback when you complete your workbook by July 31.Get the framework + July bonus here: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/purposeful-income-pathNext steps:Book a Discovery Call to learn more about Regenerative Career CoachingSubscribe to my email for weekly guidance to help you quit corporate and build a successful regenerative career.Visit the website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP40: This changed my business!

This episode is an excerpt from a live Q&A I hosted to celebrate the launch of The Purposeful Income Path—and one of the most powerful questions I received:“Not making money is something that can be frightening. It freezes my brain. I procrastinate a lot. Do you have any tips when panic arises to direct your mind back to action?”If you’re stepping into regenerative work and find yourself second-guessing every move, wondering if you’ll ever make enough money doing something that truly matters—this is for you.In this episode, I share:Why so many of us get stuck in fear, even if we’ve been successful in the pastThe real reason you might feel like you're procrastinating (and why that’s probably not true)The game-changing shift I made when I stopped chasing multiple income ideas and committed to one clear pathThe story of how I created the Purposeful Income Path framework—alone at a hotel breakfast table, asking myself seven questions that changed everythingIf you’re frozen in indecision, overwhelmed by options, or doubting whether you can make money doing regenerative work, I hope this helps you come back to calm, clarity, and commitment.Find your path: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/purposeful-income-pathNext steps:Book a Discovery Call to learn more about Regenerative Career CoachingSubscribe to my email for weekly guidance to help you quit corporate and build a successful regenerative career.Visit the website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP40: This changed my business!

After 15 years as an entrepreneur, I thought I knew how to make money. But when I stepped into the unknown of regenerative work, everything shifted—my confidence, my focus, even my relationship with value. I was spiralling.In this episode, I share the simple framework that helped me find my way: seven questions I scribbled down over breakfast during a solo retreat. It changed the trajectory of my business and now I'm sharing it with you—because it bloody well works.You’ll hear:— Why even highly experienced professionals get stuck when shifting into regenerative work— The seven-question framework that helped me find clarity and momentum— What’s included, who it’s for, and why it works— How to access it (and why now’s the moment to do it)Discover the Purposeful Income Path here:regenerativeworklife.com/purposeful-income-path(And join the waitlist NOW for a 50% launch discount.)Next steps:Book a Discovery Call to learn more about Regenerative Career CoachingSubscribe to my email for weekly guidance to help you quit corporate and build a successful regenerative career.Read the Blog: Introducing the Purposeful Income PathVisit the website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP37: Why You Need a More Meaningful Financial Goal.EP23: Crafting a Resilient Ecosystem for Meaningful Work (Regenerative Sticking Point with Sara)EP10: Three Easy Ways to Make Money While Pursuing Your Regenerative CareerHosted by Ausha.

If you’ve left the corporate world (or plan to) and you’re starting to explore regenerative work, there’s one thing that blocks even the most motivated people:You guessed it… money.How do I make enough to support myself and my family?How do I do that without selling out — or burning out?Where do I even start?These questions can stop you before you’ve even begun.But the money blocks don’t stop there. Because money is a big fat paradox in the world of regenerative work.On the one hand, it's emblematic of the old, extractive systems we’re trying to move away from.On the other, most of us still need it to survive.And if we’re honest, we’d like to do more than just survive — we want to thrive.We want to believe it’s possible to experience financial abundance and build meaningful, life-giving careers and businesses.But… is that just a fantasy?Can it be done?Should it be done?So many questions — and that’s exactly why I want to create space to talk about it. Because here’s what I believe:Money itself isn’t the problem.It’s our relationship with money — and what we choose to do with it — that makes the difference.Money can be a force for good when we bring a conscious, values-led mindset to it.It can bring focus, drive, energy, and discipline to our work — and help us multiply the positive impact we want to have.So how do we get there?How do you start?How do you get past the fear?How do you build a healthy, empowering relationship with money?These questions matter — and I’m opening up space to explore them.👉 I’m hosting a live Q&A on Money and Regenerative Work🗓 Thursday 3 July at 7pm UK time🎟 Submit your questions + register here: http://bit.ly/4eiYLXuLet’s talk money — with honesty, curiosity, and a vision for something better.Next steps:Book a Discovery Call to learn more about Regenerative Career CoachingSubscribe to my email for weekly guidance to help you quit corporate and build a successful regenerative career.Visit my website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP37: Why You Need a More Meaningful Financial GoalEP25: What Is Your Corporate Salary Costing You?EP17: Stop Stressing About Money: A Financial Plan for Your Purpose-led CareerHosted by Ausha.
