Regenerative Worklife: career change with purpose, sustainable work, burnout recovery, meaningful work, leaving corporate life

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.

When you’re building a regenerative business, it’s easy to focus on all the doing — the strategy, the content, the offers. But none of it happens without you.

Most people set financial goals that sound sensible… but feel totally flat. “Replace my salary.” “Make enough to survive.” “Hit 6 figures.” But when your goal has no real WHY behind it, it’s hard to stay motivated — especially when you’re building a career rooted in purpose, impact, or regeneration. In this short solo episode, I’ll walk you through: Why abstract financial goals create resistance The difference a meaningful, motivating goal can make A few personal examples from my own path A simple exercise to help you feel focused and clearI hope that this episode helps you to set a financial goal that actually feels good — one that energises you, reflects your values, and helps you take action with confidence.

Today’s episode begins in a rain-soaked woodland, the first drops falling after weeks of dryness. It’s a moment of relief—for the land and for me. Just after finishing a wild coaching session with a client, I’m walking among the trees, reflecting on a question that’s been showing up for both of us:What do you do when you’re doing all the right things in your business, but the results just aren’t showing up?In this episode, I share a simple but powerful metaphor that helped us both: tending a vegetable garden. When we’re building something regenerative—whether it’s a business, a creative offering, or a career—we can plant, water, weed, and enrich the soil. But we cannot force the vegetables to grow on demand.I explore:Why trying to force results in your business often leads us back to extractive, manipulative tacticsHow capitalism teaches us to equate effort with immediate outcomes—and why that mindset doesn’t hold up in regenerative workThe importance of patience, faith, and trusting the invisible growth happening beneath the surfaceHow to focus on what you can do: planting seeds (like offers and invitations), tending relationships, and nurturing your creative ecosystemIf you're in a season of slow or invisible growth, this episode is your invitation to step back, breathe, and trust in your garden. You are doing more than you know. And with time, the results will come.Email me at alisa@regenerativeworklife.com to book your own wild coaching session, or check for availability updates on my Instagram.

Finally the conditions were right for recording the podcast in the wild! Join me for an episode sat by a woodland stream, bathed in birdsong and providing a banquet for midges.Today I explore my deepening relationship with nature in recent years, how it is led by a childlike wonder and has inspired me to re-center play in my work. I reflect on the ways in which ego - certainly my ego! - can hold us back from regenerative work that brings us joy and satisfaction. If internalised captialism, deep-rooted fears and unhelpful beliefs are blocking your regenerative path, listen in for a simple journaling exercise to listen to and release these blockers. The episode finishes with one of my favourite poems, a poignant reminder to do what we love, however we can. 00.24: Play with me08.18: How ego holds us back from regenerative work 19.56: Your one wild and precious lifeThis is the last week to sign up as an early-supporter for my audio course, where I'll share a library of playful invitations to connect with nature and unleash the wild within.

Natalia Sanyal works with humanity-first brands to create anti-oppressive copy that’s authentic, does less harm — and still sells. For many people stepping into regenerative entrepreneurship, that can feel like an impossible paradox, but this conversation shows you how it’s done.I first connected with Natalia on LinkedIn while consciously rewilding my feed. Her content was a breath of fresh mountain air: alive, playful, and refreshingly unpolished. Natalia is explicit about her values, and honestly, it’s a joy to be sold to by her.In this conversation, we dance through:How Natalia came to focus on anti-oppressive copy creationThe ongoing work of de-corporatising and decolonising marketingWhy looking after your nervous system is essential in this workThe freeing power of doing ridiculous thingsNatalia has been a guiding light in my own journey toward playful, authentic marketing and sales.

Today's episode starts in an open meadow, the ground soaked with dew and the early morning sunlight just beginning to light up the tips of trees. Immersing in nature is a key theme not only of this podcast but of all my work. Most of us have very little experience of what it means to simply BE in nature, not exercising, or walking the dog, just listening, observing and experiencing. In the episode, I share how my own relationship with nature has deepened over time, how I centre nature connection in my work with clients and some simple practices that you can try in just a few moments to really experience the natural world around you. Building on these ideas, I share how the topic of being instead of doing is showing up for me in my work and why it's so important for regenerative business. I discuss some of the mistakes I've made in building my business and why I believe you already have everything you need for your own entrepreneurial journey. Hear about how I'm rediscovering creativity, play and joy in my business, planting offers and ideas like a gardener and cultivating my ecosystem with a child-like joy.

The uncomfortable truth is that I started a podcast about regenerative work with expectations firmly rooted in extractive business strategy. Happily, things are about to change. This is a new format episode—but more importantly, it’s grounded in a far deeper, more authentic motivation.Listen in to discover the real “why” behind my podcast, and how I’m shifting my focus to a heartfelt exploration of what it means to be a regenerative entrepreneur. Not because I have all the answers, but because those of us who still believe in the soul of business are navigating dark times and stormy weather.By contrast, this week has brought me so much joy through a return to nature: wild swimming, mini medicine walks, and coaching in the wild. This episode is for you if you’re seeking a light in the dark.Topics for today:00:00 – The Joy of Spring01:50 – Finding Meaning in My Podcast12:57 – Fears for the Soul of Business18:18 – Returning to NatureTo join the Medicine Walk WhatsApp group or book a Coaching in the Wild session, email me at alisa@regenerativeworklife.com.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 the 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.

Capitalism has very clear ideas about what makes us valuable—to capitalism. When we consider doing our own thing or creating our own business, this is often where we start. It’s also where we get trapped, because when we focus our attention on those things, we continue to prop up the very system we want to step out of.Why are we so attached to the things capitalism values? Because we get more than just money in return. Our jobs are deeply tied to our identities and our sense of self-worth. Our jobs make us feel worthy, important, needed, successful, safe, secure. That’s why so many people stay stuck in jobs they hate and in companies that aren’t aligned with their values.We’re afraid of the emotional holes that will be left when we can no longer ask our jobs to give us those things. When I sold the business I built over the course of 15 years, I no longer knew who I was. I didn’t know where to find my sense of belonging, self-worth, or recognition. What I know for sure is that I cannot ask my new business to give me those things and still consider myself a regenerative entrepreneur.A regenerative relationship with our work and businesses requires us to find those things within ourselves and to know that we are—and always have been—enough, exactly as we are. That’s when we can build a business around who we really are and experience true joy, satisfaction, and purpose in our worklives.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.View the video and read the full transcript here: Build a business around your true valueVisit the website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:EP23: Crafting a Resilient Ecosystem for Meaningful Work (Regenerative Sticking Point with Sara)EP14: Three Fears Holding You Back From Purposeful, Regenerative Work (and How To Overcome Them!)EP7: Pause is a Career Power Move (Regenerative Unsticking Point with Shweta)Hosted by Ausha.

Regeneration is restoring life and life is inconsistent. Life is cyclical. Life ebbs and flows. It has flourishing seasons of incredible, abundant growth and then it has long, long seasons where you can't see anything happening. Where everything looks dead, quiet and still. That is what I choose for myself and for my business... to change with the seasons... to change as the mood takes me.As I emerge from yet another period of illness (and the worst flu of my life), I am feeling into how I want to experience my business. This is a no script, no notes, “thinking outloud” episode. ...creativity over consistency...seasonality and cycles...marketing without expectation...being alive in business. 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 full transcript here: Changing with the seasons… changing as the mood takes me!Visit the website: https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/Listen to related episodes:23: Crafting a Resilient Ecosystem for Meaningful Work (Regenerative Sticking Point with Sara)20: Want to Work Sustainably?
