From Corporate Into Calling: Career Change, Burnout, Meaningful Work, Find Your Purpose

80: How I'm Getting My Brain On Board With My Big Idea

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

This week I found myself in Dublin for a one-day seminar on conversational hypnosis. It was an idea that made sense months ago when I booked it but seemed completely unrelated to the work I'm now doing. Or so I thought.

Turns out the universe had sent me there for a very good reason — to remind me that I have incredible tools for this journey. That the spiral, the panic, the what the hell am I doing loop isn't just something to push through. It's a pattern. And patterns can be rewired.

I came home with a question I'm now asking myself every morning before I sit down to work: how do I want to feel about this today?

This episode is for anyone in the messy middle of building something audacious. A reminder that we get to choose whether to carry it like a burden or hold it lightly and find the joy.

79: Glamour Or Grind? A Fork In The Road

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

This week I'm recording from inside my own fork in the road. Two paths with the same values at the core, but asking very different things of me. On one side, glamour — the route I've trodden before, where people sit up and pay attention. On the other, grind — the path of real, tangible work with no attachment that makes it interesting to the ego.

What I'm learning, in real time, is that these moments are never really about the decision on the surface. Whenever we hit a fork like this in career or business building, it always comes down to identity. It's about who you're willing to become, and how much of yourself you're willing to commit, for how long. Most of us underestimate how deep that commitment runs.

For anyone trying to find your purpose in the middle of a messy career change: this one's an honest check-in from the threshold, not a tidy lesson from the other side.

78: When Your To-Do List Scares The S*t Out Of You!

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

How does your to do list make you feel? Stressful, overwhelming? Or maybe it’s make you feel empowered and in control?

Right now, my to do list is reasonably small... proportional to the time I have available... and really, really scary.

Today I’m going to talk about why that is a really good thing and exactly where I need to be.

If you’re building meaningful work for yourself and your to do list doesn’t feel at least a little bit terrifying, this episode is an invitation to up the ante.

77: Do You Have Main Character Energy? Or Are You A Supporting Artist?

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

This week a trusted advisor (my sibling) asked me a powerful question: am I a main character, or a supporting artist?

This isn't about ego. It's not about ambition or status or who gets the credit. It's about finding the right energetic fit.

I've watched really capable, accomplished people build careers and businesses in the wrong register — doing good work, meaningful work, work they're proud of — and wonder why something feels slightly off even when everything looks right.

This week I had a version of that realisation myself. In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to finally stop performing the wrong role, even a good one.

If you're building something meaningful, trying to name what's not quite working, or somewhere in the middle of figuring out what work you're actually here to do — I think you'll find this framing helpful.

76: What Changes When You Stop Looking For An Exit

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Some weeks the journey toward meaningful work looks like momentum and clarity.
And some weeks it looks like stopping dead on the school run and saying out loud: what the **** am I doing?

This week was the second kind.

In this episode I share what happened when a wobbly week — the investment banker advice I didn't want to hear, the complexity that kept multiplying, the energy dispersing into backup plans and exit strategies — finally brought me to a single question: am I in or am I out?

And what shifted when I finally answered it.

If you're building something meaningful, trying to find your purpose, or somewhere in the middle of a leap you're not sure you can land — you're in the right place.

75: What's The Worst That Can Happen?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

The question most people making a career change are already asking themselves — just never out loud. It sits in the background, usually at 3am, shapeless and exhausting. This week I want to change that.

Because naming the fear isn't pessimism. It's the thing that makes meaningful work actually possible. When you look directly at the worst case, something shifts — it gets smaller, and it becomes something you can build a response to.

In this episode I share what happened when someone asked me this question about my own new venture this week, why I think it's the most useful question you can ask at any stage of your career change, and two real examples of what it looks like to answer it honestly — including one that completely reframed what was possible for someone who thought she was stuck.

If you're navigating burnout, trying to find your purpose, or somewhere in the middle of figuring out what comes next — this one's for you.

74: How to Start Building the Thing You Can't Stop Thinking About

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had an idea you couldn't stop thinking about — one that kept coming back no matter how many times life got in the way? The gap between that feeling and actually building something real is where most people get stuck. Not because they lack the vision or the talent, but because they don't know how to begin.

In this episode I'm sharing five lessons for getting yourself into momentum when you're standing at the threshold of something new. From knowing where your energy comes from, to borrowing confidence when yours runs dry, to trusting joy as a genuine creative force. These are the tools that make the difference between an idea that stays in your head and one that starts to take shape in the world.

If you're sitting on something — a business, a career change, a bigger expression of your own meaningful work — and you don't know where to start, this episode is for you. The answers are already in you. You just have to find the courage to begin.

73: How I Stayed the Course Through 15 Years of Building a Meaningful Business (Even When Self-Belief Was Shaky)

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 09:00:00 +0000

What actually keeps you going when you're building something from scratch, before the evidence catches up?

In this episode I'm sharing the story of how I stayed the course through 15 years of building a meaningful business, even when self-belief was shaky. We talk about why clarity about your idea matters more than confidence in yourself, and I share the simple framework I use with every client to get there.

Whether you're navigating a career change, recovering from burnout, or trying to find your purpose after years in corporate, the thing that usually stops people isn't lack of ambition or ability. It's that the idea isn't clear enough yet to believe in.

I share what it really looked like to build my climate tech communications agency over 15 years, the doubt, the hard days, and what I kept returning to when self-belief wasn't enough.

If you're still in corporate and thinking about making a change, figuring out what comes next after leaving, or already building meaningful work but feeling the wobble, this one is for you.

72: How To Get Comfortable With The Messy Middle Of Purposeful Career Change

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 06:00:00 +0000

You left corporate consciously and with good reasons. But you still feel things "should" be different and you're scared you won't deliver the purposeful career pivot you want.

This episode is here to remind you that you did not float into the messy middle of career change, you chose it. This in-between stage is a stepping stone not a quagmire.

Listen in to learn how to reconcile emotions around your corporate exit, get clear on the career direction you are taking, feel empowered to share your story with others and lean in to the problems you were meant to solve.

71: Quitting Corporate Doesn’t Mean Lowering Your Ambition

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

If you’re seriously thinking about a career change but you’re afraid that stepping out of corporate might mean becoming less serious, less competent, or less ambitious — this episode is for you.

You’ve probably said things like:

“I’m good at what I do…but I don’t enjoy it anymore.”
“It feels wrong in my body, even if it looks fine on paper.”
“I don’t want another job like this — but what else could actually work?”

Many high-performers stay where they are not because they love the work — but because they’ve internalised the belief that ambition only happens inside a system that runs on pressure.

In this episode we unpack that belief structurally, not emotionally: why corporate environments condition us to equate stress with success, and why stepping away doesn’t automatically lower your standards.

On the contrary — it forces you to decide whether your ambition belongs to you or to the machine that trained it.

If you’re wrestling with burnout, craving purposeful work, or wondering whether meaningful, self-directed work is actually possible — you’re in the right place.

70: Layoffs Aren’t a Personal Failure — But They Do Force a Career Decision

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

A layoff isn’t just an income shock. What often hits just as hard is the identity rupture — the future you assumed was unfolding, the loyalty you invested, the structure you relied on.

If all that matters right now is replacing income, do that. Stability matters. This episode isn’t here to compete with that.

But if you’re questioning whether you want to rebuild your career inside the same structure that just eliminated your role — this conversation is for you.

We break down three paths after redundancy: replacing stability, taking a structured pause, or beginning to build agency by leveraging the skills and experience you already have.

You’ll hear how to move deliberately rather than reactively — and why reclaiming control over how you earn can fundamentally change how you navigate career change.

If you suspect your next chapter may not sit entirely inside corporate, this episode will help you clarify your direction — and take the first practical step.

69: How to Build Work That Brings You Back to Life After Burnout or Career Change

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

When my son was four months old, he came with me to a notary’s office in Berlin.

I was setting up a company during Brexit uncertainty, travelling across Europe, growing fast. At the time, the structure of my life could hold that intensity and the work made sense inside it.

Nine years later, everything looks different.

In this episode, I explore what it really takes to build work that brings you back to life after burnout or career change. It all starts with a question that’s often skipped when people plan their next move:

How do you want your work to feel?
And how should it actually support your life?

We talk about why changing jobs often doesn’t stop burnout repeating, how this question becomes a decision point before job searches or business ideas, and why many forms of full-time employment are structurally incompatible with the lives people want to live.

Whether you stay employed, change roles, or decide to build your own work, this episode offers a calmer, more grounded place to start.

68: Why values-first work is rare (and what to do about it)

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 06:00:00 +0000

So many people want meaningful work that aligns with their values — especially when burnout sets in or a career change starts to feel inevitable. Yet truly values-first organisations remain hard to find.

In this episode, I share my experience of working closely with a genuinely values-first business, including time spent on retreat with the team in the Czech mountains.

We explore what’s really happening beneath the surface of work like this — the choices, trade-offs, and commitments that make it possible, and why waiting for the “right” opportunity often leads to frustration and self-doubt.

This conversation is for anyone questioning their career, searching for purpose, or wondering how to move toward more meaningful work without burning everything down.

If you’re questioning your career or feeling burned out, explore earlier episodes of From Corporate Into Calling for grounded reflections on career change and finding purpose.

If you’re still inside corporate but know something has to shift, take a look at Courage to Quit for practical support in building a responsible exit.

67: Leaving Corporate? Build Your Exit Ecosystem (Interview on the Up Your Impact podcast)

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

This week’s episode is a replay of an interview I recorded with Courtney Holm for the Up Your Impact podcast.

We talk about what it really feels like when you’re stuck in corporate — especially when financial fear, responsibility, and the day-to-day reality of your work feel completely out of sync with what you want your life to look like.

In the conversation, I share an ecosystem approach to career transition: a resilient way to expand your options and start building meaningful work over time — without needing to take a dramatic leap or burn everything down overnight.

In this episode, we cover:

Why the gap between “what you’re doing” and “what you want” can feel so heavy
The role of financial fear in keeping you stuck
What an “ecosystem approach” actually means (and why it works)
How to build options and momentum in a grounded, realistic way
The difference between craving clarity and needing a first step

Courage to Quit will give you clarity, direction, and a practical plan for what to do next — without spiralling, procrastinating, or trying to force certainty before you act.

66: If leaping out of corporate feels too scary, build a bridge instead

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Quitting your corporate job can feel like you’re teetering on the edge of an impossibly high diving board. Everyone’s shouting advice from below. You can’t see how far the drop is. And the idea of leaping — without knowing what comes next — is enough to keep most people frozen exactly where they are. What if you don’t have to leap? What if you can build a bridge instead?

In this episode, I talk about why so many people stay stuck in work they’ve outgrown — not because they lack courage, but because the dominant story about career change makes quitting your job feel reckless or irresponsible. If you’re edging toward burnout, questioning your purpose, or longing for more meaningful work, that story will feel very familiar.

Today we look at how to take a bridging approach to career change: reducing hours, going freelance or fractional, creating a portfolio phase, or backing yourself for a defined period of time. These are powerful ways of leaving corporate that protect your income, your energy, and your ability to think clearly — especially if you don’t yet know exactly what comes next.

If you know it's time for an exit — and you want a way out that doesn’t require blind faith or superhuman bravery — this episode will help you see a different path. One that lets you move toward meaningful work without waiting for burnout to force the decision.

65: When work stops making sense (early signs of burnout)

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

What do you do when work stops having meaning for you? When the career you’ve poured years of energy into still looks fine from the outside, but no longer feels aligned? That moment can be hard to name — and even harder to act on — especially when nothing is obviously “wrong.”

In this episode, I talk about that early phase that often comes long before burnout. The sinking loss of belief. The nagging questions that won’t go away. The sense that you’re propping something up that no longer makes sense to you. I share reflections from my own experience of questioning work I’d invested in for years, alongside what I’ve seen happen when people ignore these signals for too long and end up paying a much higher price later.

This isn’t about dramatic exits or throwing everything away. It’s about learning to trust what you’re feeling before your body has to force the issue. Too often, we tell ourselves to push through, be grateful, or wait for certainty — and in doing so, we override important information about what’s no longer right.

If you’re at a point where something in your work has shifted, but you haven’t given yourself permission to listen yet, this episode is for you. It’s an invitation to take that feeling seriously — and to act in an empowered way, rather than waiting until burnout makes the decision for you.

64: Why I’m Choosing Consistency and Commitment in 2026

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

I’m starting 2026 by sharing the word I’ve chosen for the year, and why it matters more to me than any New Year’s resolution. This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m thinking about goals, commitment, and what it really takes to build a meaningful work life over time.

We talk about why career change and meaningful work aren’t just about clarity or finding your purpose, but about staying with the work when things feel slow, uncertain, or uncomfortable. I share parts of my own journey — from building and selling my previous business to focusing on health and strength — and how I’ve come to understand the power of compounding results.

This isn’t about hustle or pushing harder. It’s about showing up in a human way, even when life gets in the way, and trusting that small, consistent commitments add up. Especially if you’re recovering from burnout, questioning your direction, or trying to build work on your own terms.

If you’re tired of extractive goal-setting and wondering how to keep going without burning out, this episode is an invitation to think differently. You don’t need a perfect plan for your career change — but you do need commitment, and the willingness to keep believing in yourself and your work.

63: A Regenerative Christmas Carol – Part 3: The Ghost of Meaningful Christmas Future

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

As the year comes to a close, I continue the regenerative retelling of A Christmas Carol, turning our attention toward the future and what meaningful work might actually look like when it’s no longer shaped by exhaustion or extraction.

In Part Three, we meet the Ghost of Meaningful Christmas Future and glimpse a different way of working: one rooted in alignment, care, and contribution — not just for ourselves, but for the people, communities, and living systems our work touches.

This final chapter isn’t a blueprint or a promise. It’s an act of imagination. A reminder that the ways we work today are not inevitable — and that stepping away from dehumanising systems can open space for more honest, humane, and generative forms of contribution.

At its heart, this story is an expression of belief: that individuals are capable of far more than the corporate system asks of them, and that meaningful, regenerative work is not a fantasy, but something real and available to be shaped.

In Part Two, we meet The Ghost of Burnout Christmas Present and witness what burnout often looks like in the moment — staying half-present, constantly reachable, and unable to fully stop, even during times meant for rest and connection.

After the story, I share how I chose to do things differently when running my startup, and invite you to consider what might need to change in the way you work — especially if Christmas has become something you endure rather than enjoy.

60: 7 Stumbling Blocks On The Path To Meaningful Work (And How To Avoid Them In 2026!)

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 14:53:08 +0000

If you’re working toward meaningful work — whether through a career change, a new consultancy, or building a purpose-led business — you’ve probably already discovered that the path is not straightforward.

People often assume it’s a lack of clarity, confidence, or the “right idea” that holds them back. But in reality, most people are derailed by a small set of predictable stumbling blocks that show up again and again — especially when you’re trying to do this alone.

In this episode, I break down the seven patterns that quietly sabotage meaningful work long before the work itself even begins. These aren’t dramatic failures, and they’re not signs you’re doing anything wrong. They’re simply the natural friction points that arise when you’re stepping out of corporate norms and into a more aligned, intentional way of working.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, questioning your direction, or trying to find your purpose, understanding these seven patterns will help you:

recognise why your motivation wobbles
avoid slipping back into old habits
make smarter, more strategic decisions for 2026
build work that is not only meaningful, but sustainable

I also share the one thing I would do differently if I were starting my first business again — and why trying to do this work completely alone is one of the biggest hidden risks.

If you want 2026 to be the year you stop circling meaningful work and actually build it, this episode will give you the clarity and structure to start strong.

Next steps:

If you’re considering a meaningful business or consultancy next year, the Meaningful Business Incubator is designed to give you the structure, support, and strategic guidance to build work that lasts.

59: The Two Foundations Every Meaningful Business Needs

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

If you’re in the middle of a career change, feeling burned out, or trying to build meaningful work that actually sustains you, there are two foundations you cannot skip.

Most people focus on ideas, values, or purpose. But without defining how you want work to feel, and who urgently needs your work enough to pay for it, you end up recreating the same patterns that drove you to burnout in the first place.

This episode breaks down the two decisions that determine whether your business or consultancy will thrive or drain you.

You’ll learn how to design work that fits the rhythm and boundaries you need, and how to identify the specific people who feel the problem sharply, recognise your value immediately, and can invest in it.

If you want to find your purpose and generate real momentum in your next chapter, start here.

And if you want support applying this to your own meaningful business, I’m teaching it live on 9 December in a practical 90-minute workshop.

58: Sick of the job market? Why now is the perfect time to build your own business with purpose

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

If you’re in the middle of a career change, feeling trapped in a collapsing job market, or questioning whether your work still fits the life you want, this episode will speak directly to you.

Right now the job market is more unstable than ever. Burnout is rising. Meaningful work is getting harder to find inside corporate systems. And many purpose-led roles are being diluted or quietly dismantled. So what do you do with that reality?

In this episode, we walk through five reasons why you don’t need to wait for more stability, more clarity or more certainty to build a business rooted in purpose and meaningful contribution.

You’ll hear why relying on a traditional job may no longer offer the security you think it does, why the job market is unlikely to “normalise,” and why putting your energy into your own work might be the most life-giving decision you can make.

Whether you're exploring a career change, navigating burnout, searching for more meaningful work, or just beginning to find your purpose, this episode will help you see your next steps with much more clarity.

In this episode:

The job market collapse and what it means for your career transition
Why meaningful work is becoming harder to sustain inside corporate life
The link between burnout, misalignment and purpose
How to use your current job as a bridge to your next chapter
Why waiting for “normal” is keeping you stuck

If you’re ready to build meaningful work on your own terms: The Meaningful Business Incubator is now open.

It’s a six-month programme where we design, test and build the foundations of your own purpose-led business or consultancy, with personalised support and a regenerative approach to work and life.

57: What It Takes To Build Meaningful Work On Your Own Terms

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

So many people reach a point in their career where the work looks meaningful from the outside but feels empty, exhausting or impossible on the inside. Not because they’re failing or burnt out beyond repair, but because corporate systems dilute their values and limit their ability to create the impact they came for.

If you’re craving a career change, questioning your purpose or wondering why the work you once believed in no longer feels aligned, this episode will give you a clearer way forward.

You’ll learn why meaningful work starts with what genuinely matters to you — not with a niche or a strategy. You’ll explore how the way you want work to feel becomes the foundation of your business design. And you’ll understand why commercial viability is not the enemy of purpose-driven or regenerative work, but the thing that keeps your contribution alive long term.

I also talk honestly about the parts no one prepares you for: the unlearning required after years in corporate, the confidence wobbles, the courage to choose yourself, and why community is the most stabilising force when you’re building work on your own terms.

If you’re standing at the edge of career change, feeling the early signs of burnout or hungry to find your purpose, this conversation will give you a grounded framework for what meaningful work truly requires — and why it's far more possible than you think.

56: Don’t Just Quit Your Job — Pivot with Purpose

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

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 change
The seven foundations of a sustainable, regenerative business
How to reconnect with your why and build meaningful work that lasts
What it takes to move from burnout and fear to confidence and clarity
How to make bold changes without recreating corporate pressure in disguise

If 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.

54: Four Reasons It’s So Hard to Quit Corporate (and How to Do It Anyway)

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 06:00:00 +0000

If you’re still in your corporate job — serving someone else’s agenda, showing up for work that doesn’t fit who you are or what you believe in — this episode is for you.

n this short, punchy episode, I’m breaking down four reasons it takes so much courage to quit corporate — and how to move through each of them so you can make a confident, grounded exit into more meaningful work of your own.

Because if you’ve been scheming, dreaming, and planning your career change for months (or years) but somehow still haven’t made your move, there’s a reason for that. You’re not lazy, incapable, or confused — you’re human. And your fears are doing their job: trying to keep you safe.

We’ll unpack what’s really keeping you stuck — and what to do about it.

In this episode you’ll learn how to:

Recognise the real fears hiding beneath practical excuses
Reframe burnout as a signal, not a failure
Build a personalised, empowered exit plan
Take grounded action toward meaningful, purpose-led work

If you’re ready to stop planning and start acting, I can help you map your next steps.

53: Who Are You Without Your Job Title?

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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. And I’ll share my own experience of letting go of “CEO and Founder Alisa” to find purpose and freedom on the other side of quitting.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck between loving their work but hating their job — anyone wondering who they might be without the label.

If you’re ready to rebuild your confidence, find meaningful work, and design a career that serves your life (not the other way around), this episode will help you take that first step.

52: Finding Purpose - How Clare Left Corporate Agencies to Build Meaningful Work for Changemakers

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0000

“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.

51: Is Corporate Burnout Blocking Your Career Change?

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 lingers
Recognise how burnout holds you back from career change and meaningful work
Quit consciously and rebuild your relationship with work in a regenerative way
Find your purpose without repeating the same exhausting patterns

Ready 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.

50: You Don’t Need a New Job! How to Choose Purposeful Career Change Instead

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 problems
The difference between incremental change and true career change with purpose
Real client stories of leaving corporate systems to find meaningful work and build regenerative careers
Three pathways to find your purpose and create life-giving work outside of burnout culture

If 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.

49: The 3 Types of People Who Need to Quit Corporate (and Find Meaningful Work)

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:05:25 +0000

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, or
carrying 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.

BONUS: Live from Canary Wharf - Why I'm relaunching as From Corporate To Calling

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 07:05:12 +0000

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.

48. Why REST might be the most meaningful work we do

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 16:15:00 +0000

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 businesses
See how capitalist and colonial conditioning fuels our addiction to work
Understand rest as a practice of receiving, not just pursuing
Value being as much as we value doing
Explore the resistance, fear, and anxiety that rest often triggers

If 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.

47. Creativity & Regeneration: The Artist’s Way

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 16:00:00 +0000

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 practices
Recognise synchronicity as part of the process, not just chance
Revisit buried dreams and grieve the “nice self” we’ve outgrown
Embrace the spiral path, where old doubts resurface but with new possibility each time

If 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.

46. When it's all falling apart...

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 15:45:50 +0000

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.

45. Age and regenerative work — a joyful exploration!

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

44: Making Space for Change: The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career Transition

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 makes
The role of nature, rest, and even internal quiet as essential components of career transition
How over-consumption (even of learning) can crowd out your ability to hear your own guidance

43. Sitting With Waiting to Respond (My First Experience with Human Design)

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

41. I broke my own boundaries during my launch (here's what happened)

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 15:39:39 +0000

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.

BONUS Stop procrastinating on the life-giving work you were meant for

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 13:07:29 +0000

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 past
The 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 path
The story of how I created the Purposeful Income Path framework—alone at a hotel breakfast table, asking myself seven questions that changed everything

If 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.

40: This changed my business! Introducing the Purposeful Income Path

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 02:45:00 +0000

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)

39: Money and regenerative work? Let’s talk about it.

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

38: Three ways to care for yourself as you build your regenerative business

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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. And if you’re not looking after the human behind the work, the work itself starts to wobble.

In this high-energy solo episode, I share 3 powerful (and slightly unconventional) ways to look after yourself while taking big, bold steps in your regenerative career:

✅ How to shift your energy before you start working
✅ Why you need to be your own over-the-top cheerleader
✅ How to celebrate every single scary step (and why it matters)

This one’s part pep talk, part practical toolkit — all rooted in the belief that your wellbeing isn’t a side note… it’s the foundation.

🛠️ Ready to move from scattered effort to focused, values-aligned income?

My new tool — The Purposeful Income Path — is designed to help you make aligned money decisions without burning out or selling out. If you’d like early access (and a special launch offer), just email me at alisa@regenerativeworklife.com and I’ll make sure you’re the first to know when it's ready.

37: Why you need a more meaningful financial goal for purposeful work

Wed, 11 Jun 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 clear

I 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.

This episode is the foundation of a new tool I’ve created — The Purposeful Income Path — coming very soon. If you’d like early access, email me and I’ll make sure you’re the first to know when it's ready.

36: Tending, Not Tactics: A Regenerative Approach to Growing Your Business

Wed, 28 May 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 tactics
How capitalism teaches us to equate effort with immediate outcomes—and why that mindset doesn’t hold up in regenerative work
The importance of patience, faith, and trusting the invisible growth happening beneath the surface
How to focus on what you can do: planting seeds (like offers and invitations), tending relationships, and nurturing your creative ecosystem

If 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.

35. How ego holds us back from regenerative work

Wed, 14 May 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 me
08.18: How ego holds us back from regenerative work

19.56: Your one wild and precious life

This 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. Message me by Friday 16th May if you would like to take part (all details in the episode).

34. The most JOYFUL conversation about marketing I've ever had! (Interview with Natalia Sanyal)

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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 creation
The ongoing work of de-corporatising and decolonising marketing
Why looking after your nervous system is essential in this work
The freeing power of doing ridiculous things

Natalia has been a guiding light in my own journey toward playful, authentic marketing and sales. I hope you enjoy this exploration as much as I did!

33. Immersing in Nature / Being Instead of Doing in Business / Creative, Energetic and Playful Offers

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

Topics for today:

00:00 – A Beautiful Morning
01:30 – Moving Deeply Into Nature
08:25 – Being as a Regenerative Business Practice
19:20 – Creating Offers Like A Garden

32: Spring / Finding Meaning in My Podcast / Fears for the Soul of Business / Returning to Nature

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 20:15:00 +0000

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 Spring
01:50 – Finding Meaning in My Podcast
12:57 – Fears for the Soul of Business
18:18 – Returning to Nature

31. Build a business around your true value (not capitalism’s version)

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 05:00:00 +0000

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.

30: Creativity over consistency: choosing a business rooted in life

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

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.

29. Why your “messy” career is actually your biggest strength - and how to own it

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

What if I told you that the very things you feel awkward or ashamed about in your career could actually be your biggest strengths? What if the aspects you worry will stop people from hiring you, investing in you, or buying from you are the very things that will attract them to you?

In today’s episode, I’ll help you shift your perspective on career “messiness” and show you how to turn it into an advantage.

I’ll share my daily struggle with real-life mess in my home—and how seeing it differently has revealed so many beautiful things about my family life. You can do the same with your career! I’ll walk you through a simple, practical exercise to uncover the potential behind the things you’ve perceived as imperfections or embarrassments in your worklife.

Corporate life teaches us to value unnatural things like linearity and consistency. There’s no room for anything except the relentless climb up the career ladder—a constant push for efficiency, productivity, growth, and profit. But you, my dear listener, are so much more than that.

Let me share a vision of work that supports your life instead of draining it. Whether you’ve taken time to raise children, stepped away from a career path that didn’t serve you, or simply want to create space for exploration and adventure in your work, today’s episode will help you embrace your choices—and turn them into strengths.

28. Five reasons why you should INVEST in RADICAL career change

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0000

It’s time to make radical changes in your worklife. Corporations are reneging on their sustainability commitments, mass layoffs are becoming normalized, and YOU need to make empowered choices about who you are willing to work for.

The goal of making change happen from inside these organizations is proving to be a fantasy. The illusion that a corporate job means security and safety is evaporating. But YOU have an opportunity to define your career on your own terms.

In this slightly punchy episode, I’m giving you five hard truths about why you should be investing in radical career change TODAY. I’ll explain what it means to invest in a meaningful career (it’s not just about money!) and why radical change is the only kind of transformation we have time left for.

27. Put your career privilege to work!

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0000

It is absolutely true that many people are not in a position to quit their corporate job and pursue purposeful, regenerative work. If you need your job to pay the bills and put food on the table, this podcast is not for you.

However, if you recognize that you have reached a stage in your career with more options than most, it's time to understand what career privilege means—and decide how to use it.

In this episode, I explore my understanding of career and financial privilege, the role it has played in my own career transition, and why I am so passionate about guiding people to use their advantages to create meaningful change.

Learn about the opportunity those of us with career privilege have to help deconstruct capitalistic, corporatized systems, build better ways of working, and give back.

Discover how you can actively restore nature, create and serve communities, and play an active role in meeting the challenges of climate change.

26: The REAL reason you're not making the career change you want

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Welcome to the first Q&A episode of Regenerative Worklife! This week, we’re diving into a powerful listener question: Why do we resist change, even when we know we want it? Why do we choose to stay in unfulfilling jobs instead of pursuing our dreams?

Navigating out of the corporate world is complex! It takes courage to transition into regenerative work that brings life to you and those around you. We are forging new paths, challenging deep conditioning, and often doing deep personal work along the way.

In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between the practical concerns you think are holding you back—like money worries and doubts about your skills—and the deeper resistance that lies underneath. Resistance rooted in deeply held, often unconscious beliefs about your worth and value.

As always, this episode offers practical ways to start shifting that resistance and taking action toward the purposeful work you truly want. If you’re delaying meaningful career change, convincing yourself to wait just a little longer, or feeling trapped by self-doubt, this conversation is for you.

25. What Is Your Corporate Salary Really Costing You?

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Money is the biggest blocker to pursuing a regenerative career, but the reality is, you’re already paying a very high price for that corporate salary.

Money makes the world go round they say. The truth is that money also controls us. It traps us into jobs that we probably never intended for ourselves. It holds us back from the dreams of our childhoods and the creative callings of our adult lives.

In a corporate setting, money is particularly powerful. You are paid well for your work, your healthcare may be taken care of, you have a company car, you get bonuses or dividends and before you know it, leaving no longer feels like a possibility.

If that describes you, you’re probably very well aware of what you stand to lose financially if you were to finally step away from that corporate job. But have you really stopped to think about what that corporate paycheck is costing you?

In today’s episode, let’s take an honest look at the cost of that secure paycheck that’s keeping you stuck in a job that’s sucking the life out of you. The more you understand about the price you’re already paying, the less you may find that money is such a dominant factor in your future career choices.

24: Seeking an Injection of God In Your Regenerative Business

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0000

What if the missing piece in your work isn’t more strategy, effort, or even rest—but something deeper? Something that wakes you up, reminds you of who you are, and reconnects you to what matters?

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful shift that has transformed my mornings—and, unexpectedly, my approach to business. It started with a pre-dawn walk, just me, my cocker spaniel, and the dark sky, and became what my sibling described as an Injection of God.

I’ll explore what that means, how it relates to regenerative work, and how we can cultivate more thrill, discomfort, adventure, and connection in our careers. Because a regenerative business isn’t just about sustainability—it should make you feel alive.

You’ll hear:

Why stepping into the unknown (literally) shifted my energy and focus
How we’re conditioned into comfort and distraction—and how to resist it
Ways to bring this sense of aliveness into your business without burnout
The importance of balancing stretch with restoration so you can sustain your purpose-driven work

And if you’re navigating the transition from corporate work to something more meaningful, my Vision to Reality Career Transition Program can help you map out your path with clarity and confidence. Learn more athttps://www.regenerativeworklife.com/vip-mentoring.

22: Stop Letting Money Decide— Start Purposeful Work You Love TODAY

Wed, 22 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +0000

In this podcast episode, I invite you to rethink the role money plays in our approach to work. For many of us, money feels like the biggest obstacle standing between us and the work we truly want to do. But what if we dared to imagine a different way—one where money takes a backseat, and passion, purpose, and curiosity take the lead?

I’ll share my experience as an actor, where I learned how to stop waiting for permission to do the work I loved and instead started taking action. I’ll guide you through thought-provoking questions to help you explore what’s possible when we decenter money in our decisions, even just for a moment.

What could you try? Who might you collaborate with? How could you start today?

I also encourage you to take a playful approach: what if you set aside the question of how to make money from regenerative work and simply focused on doing it? I’ll share practical ideas for getting started, building confidence, and finding value in the process itself.

If money feels like a barrier and you’re longing to reconnect with meaningful work, this episode offers a fresh perspective and tangible steps to help you move forward.

21: How Community Activism Can Inspire Regenerative Work

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Today, I invite you to join me in exploring what community activism can teach us about regenerative work. Over the past couple of years, I’ve been part of a local campaign to save a group of mature trees in my small town. It’s been an experience filled with both grief and hope—and it’s taught me some unexpected lessons about what it means to work regeneratively.

Typically when we think about work, we focus on individual effort and outcomes. But what if work could also be about coming together, about collaboration and shared purpose? In this episode, I reflect on how our campaign, without formal structures or hierarchies, has thrived through self-motivation, intergenerational collaboration, and a deep connection to something bigger than ourselves.

I also share a mindset shift around the biggest challenge most of us face when pursuing regenerative work: making money. That's where so many of us get stuck. What if we redefined work not just as the thing that earns us money, but as any effort we put into making a positive impact? How might that open up new possibilities for how you engage with your community, nature, and your own sense of purpose?

If you’re feeling the weight of corporate influence or struggling to find meaning in your current career, I hope this episode inspires you to think differently about what work can be. Tune in, reflect on your own definition of work, and if you are interested in co-creating a Regenerative Worklife community, you can reach me at alisa@regenerativeworklife.com.

Thank you for listening, and I look forward to sharing more with you next week!

20: Want to Work Sustainably? Shift Your Focus from WHAT to HOW

Wed, 08 Jan 2025 06:00:00 +0000

In this episode, I invite you to explore a different way of thinking about sustainable work—one that focuses not just on what we do, but on how we approach it. Too often, we focus on the labels, the tasks, the job titles, and the outcomes. But if the way we work leaves us drained, disconnected, and constantly pushing for more, can we truly call it sustainable? I’ll share my personal journey of breaking free from corporate conditioning and how I’ve been learning to work regeneratively—with joy, rest, and connection at the center.

I also offer you a playful challenge: what if you let go of the need to figure out exactly what your work should be and instead focused on how you show up every day? I’ll suggest a few simple but powerful regenerative habits you can try, whether you work for yourself or in a more traditional environment. These habits are about creating space for creativity, reflection, and life-giving work—a stark contrast to the constant corporate drive for efficiency and output.

If you’re feeling stuck in your career or craving a deeper connection to nature, community, and purpose, this episode might just offer the shift in perspective you need. Tune in, try a regenerative habit, and let me know how it goes—I’d love to hear from you!

19: How To Handle A Regenerative Crisis Of Confidence (According To My 4 Year Old Son!)

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

What happens when self-doubt creeps into your regenerative career journey? In this episode, I share a personal story of finding unexpected wisdom from the backseat of my car, thanks to my 4-year-old son’s impromptu song. Together, we’ll unpack the six reasons crises of confidence often arise in regenerative work, from letting go of old tools that no longer serve us to navigating the weight of systemic change and eco-anxiety.

You'll discover practical strategies for overcoming these moments of uncertainty, including how to reconnect with your "why," embrace a beginner's mindset, and find solace in community. Plus, hear the heartfelt words of a little song that might just inspire you to keep practicing and moving forward, no matter how wobbly the road feels.

If you've ever doubted your ability to make an impact or struggled with the loneliness of forging your own path, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone—and that confidence is a skill we can nurture together. Tune in for actionable advice, vulnerable reflections, and a sprinkle of childlike wisdom.

18: Find Your Focus, Get Your Hands Dirty, Create Things That Matter (Regenerative Sticking Point with Cloé)

Wed, 11 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Many people working in corporate sustainability—like Cloé—feel deeply frustrated by the gap between their desire to create meaningful change and the reality of their work. They’re passionate about addressing challenges like climate change, fostering stronger communities, and reconnecting with nature, but often find themselves stuck, overthinking the “perfect” career path. The result? No action, and no impact.

In this episode, I sit down with Cloé to explore how to break free from that paralysis and start making tangible progress toward a career that matters. Together, we discuss:

Why searching for the “perfect option” can keep you stuck.
How to shift from overthinking to taking small, actionable steps forward.
The power of guiding questions like “What brings me joy?” and “What am I most likely to move forward with?”
How small, hands-on experiments—like growing mushrooms in your shoe cupboard—can spark creativity, clarity, and confidence.

Cloé’s journey highlights how aligning with your values—whether through community, nature, or impact-driven projects—can help you regain focus and build momentum. Progress doesn’t require perfection; sometimes, the best way forward is simply to get your hands dirty and see what grows.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, doubting your impact, or unsure where to start, this episode will inspire you to take meaningful action toward a regenerative, sustainable career.

13: Why Corporate Sustainability Lights An Angry Fire In Me

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Some conversations bring out a fire you didn’t even know you had. That’s exactly what happened when I spoke with Johan Jensen, host of the Spiritual Emergency Podcast. Johan encouraged me to dive deep into topics I often hesitate to touch on, yet are deeply relevant to regenerative career transitions.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful extract from our conversation—the one that, in my own words, “lights an angry fire in me.” Johan and I tackled two big topics I’ve had an evolving relationship with: corporate sustainability and climate tech. As someone who spent over a decade devoted to climate tech, I’m now looking at the field through a new lens—one that reveals its limitations in driving systemic change and true transformation.

I want to share this with you because I see so many people, with the best intentions, entering the sustainability space only to be swallowed by the corporate machine. I’ve lived the experience of believing in a sector’s power to create change, only to see it held back by a lack of systemic and intersectional awareness.

In this episode, we’ll explore why sustainability without system change is simply a sticking plaster and why, if you’re moving into this space, it’s crucial to have your eyes wide open. Learn how to focus your efforts on creating meaningful change that truly makes an impact.

Tune in to learn:

Why sustainability without systems change is just a sticking plaster
How my experience in climate tech has shaped my view on real transformation
Key questions to ensure your work in sustainability aligns with what truly matters

12: Can I Pursue Creative, Community Projects While Still Paying the Mortgage? (Regenerative Sticking Point With Harrie)

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 06:00:00 +0000

What do you do when work feels unfulfilling, meaningful creative projects are calling you, but you still have to pay the mortgage? How do you nurture the seed of an idea and test whether it can grow into a viable regenerative business concept?

This was the Sticking Point I explored with Harrie, in person, by a stream in my local woodland. Harrie came to me at a turning point, with a contract coming to an end and a series of great-on-paper jobs leaving her unfulfilled. She was yearning for more human interaction, greater immersion in nature, and a connection to her love of local projects—specifically sustainable land-workers. What Harrie lacked was the confidence and clarity to take those first steps.

Together, we worked through these uncertainties, helping Harrie gain the clarity and confidence she needed to take her first steps.

In our coaching conversation, we explore:

Removing financial pressure from the early stages of a creative, regenerative project.
Breaking down an ambitious project into manageable steps that bring you joy.
The importance of believing in your idea and reminding yourself of the difference you want to make in the world.

This episode is for you if you’re ready to reconnect with your creativity, pursue those “impossible” ideas, and build the foundations for a regenerative business.

Come and sit by the stream with us, listen to the flowing water, and immerse yourself in the woodland and this inspirational conversation.

8: Connect Your Skills and Experience to Regenerative Work

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 04:00:00 +0000

In this episode, I address a common fear that holds many professionals back from pursuing regenerative careers: the belief that they lack the right qualifications. Drawing from my personal journey transitioning from acting to leading a climate tech startup, I challenge the notion of being "unqualified" and emphasize the unique value each person brings to regenerative work.

I offer three actionable steps to help you connect your skills and experience to regenerative opportunities:

1. Identify Your Core Strengths

Strip away corporate jargon and list your skills in simple, child-friendly terms. This exercise reveals the essence of your abilities, making them more transferable to new roles.

2. Craft Your Authentic Career Narrative

Embrace your current career stage, including any pauses or transitions. I explain why these periods of stillness are essential for growth and how they align with nature's rhythms.

3. Take Small, Consistent Steps

Rather than fixating on a distant career goal, focus on daily, manageable actions that move you in the right direction. I share a client's story to illustrate how even tiny steps can overcome significant obstacles.

Throughout the episode, I emphasize that regenerative work spans far beyond a handful of specialized roles. It requires a diverse range of skills and experiences to reshape our economies and societies.

7: Reframe Your "Pause" as a Career Power Move (Regenerative Coaching with Shweta)

Wed, 25 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +0000

In this regenerative coaching session, I guide Shweta through her journey of embracing stillness and self-discovery. We explore the delicate balance between honouring one's intuition and navigating the pressures of conventional career paths.

A former aerospace engineer who is drawn to work is systems change, Shweta shares her experience of consciously stepping away from the incessant work culture to reconnect with herself.

We discuss:

The Power of Stillness

How pausing can lead to profound personal insights
Overcoming the discomfort of being "different" in a fast-paced world

Moving beyond traditional career metrics
Aligning work with personal values and energy

As Shweta contemplates her next steps, we address the fear of limited opportunities and the pressure to conform. I offer guidance on:

Trusting Your Inner Compass
Recognising when an opportunity truly resonates
The importance of saying 'yes' only when it feels right

Embracing Your Unique Path

Valuing non-traditional experiences
Confidently sharing your story with potential employers

This conversation serves as a powerful reminder that the journey to meaningful, regenerative work often requires us to challenge societal norms and trust our inner wisdom.

6: Embrace the Messy Path to Purpose in Regenerative Work

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 05:00:00 +0000

In this intimate episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes on my two-year journey from climate tech entrepreneur to regenerative career mentor. It's a story of trust, curiosity, and embracing the unknown – essential elements for anyone considering a similar transition.

I share my personal struggles with letting go of the corporate mindset and allowing myself to explore unconventional paths. From forest bathing to "coaching in the wild," each seemingly frivolous experience played a crucial role in shaping my current work.

Redefining Purpose

I challenge the common narrative around finding your purpose, offering a fresh perspective that aligns with regenerative principles. Instead of viewing purpose as a destination, I invite you to see it as:

A feeling of connection
Alignment with your values
A garden to be cultivated

Lessons from the Journey

My story illustrates four key takeaways for those embarking on their own regenerative career transition:

1. Create Space - Learn why giving yourself time (and often, financial breathing room) is crucial for authentic exploration.

2. Embrace Play - Discover the power of childlike curiosity and how it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.

3. Trust Your Curiosity - I explain why following seemingly random interests might be the key to unlocking your path.

4. Mind Your Thoughts - Understand how to navigate the internal voices of doubt and societal expectations.

This episode offers a raw, honest look at the messy, non-linear process of aligning your career with regenerative principles. If you're feeling lost or questioning your next steps, my story might just give you the permission and inspiration you need to keep exploring.

5: Decolonisation and Discomfort in Regenerative Work (Interview with Ryan James, Pt 2)

Wed, 11 Sep 2024 04:00:00 +0000

Immerse yourself in the second part of my conversation with Ryan James as we explore the profound shifts required for truly regenerative work.

Today, we delve into the interconnectedness of all things and challenge the compartmentalised thinking that often keeps us stuck in unsustainable patterns.

Ryan invites us to:

Reconsider our relationship with common terms like "regenerative" and "circular economy"
Embrace the discomfort of change as we align our work (and lifestyles) with planetary needs
Reconnect with the elements that sustain us, starting with a powerful daily practice

We discuss the importance of "re-association" – remembering our connection to the earth and all its systems. This process involves:

1. Examining our surroundings

2. Embracing grief as a catalyst

3. Shifting our perspective on success

For those feeling the call to more purposeful work, this episode offers an Earth-rooted perspective on what that journey might entail. It's not just about finding a new job – it's about fundamentally reshaping our relationship with the world around us.

4. The Inner Work of a Regenerative Career Transition (Interview with Ryan James, Pt 1)

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 05:45:00 +0000

I'm joined by spiritual guide Ryan James to discuss redefining success and purpose through a regenerative lens. We explore the profound importance of who we are and where we are as a foundation for meaningful career change.

Building on indigenous wisdom, Ryan invites us to:

Reassociate with the land beneath our feet and its history
Recognise Earth as a living, evolving being rather than a resource
Shift our perspective on purpose and success

We discuss how the journey to a regenerative worklife begins internally, contrary to the action-oriented mindset many of us default to. Ryan explains:

The interconnectedness of our internal and external worlds
How Earth's evolution influences our own consciousness
The true meaning of "crisis" and "emergency" as opportunities for growth

This episode invites you to reconsider your definition of success and explore what it truly means to live a purpose-driven, regenerative life.

3: Tips to Avoid Corporate Greenwash in Your Sustainable Job Search

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 05:30:00 +0000

In this episode, I explore what defines a truly regenerative career and offer guidance for those who are navigating a sustainable job search while trying to avoid corporate greenwash.

I share insights on how corporations often co-opt progressive language for their own benefit and explain why terms like "sustainable," "green," and "impact" may not always align with truly regenerative practices.

This episode invites you to:
• Challenge your existing paradigms about work and impact
• Consider the broader ecosystem affected by your career choices
• Develop a more nuanced understanding of regeneration in practice

I'll share 4 essential definitions that will help you to identify truly regenerative opportunities and avoid the pitfalls of corporate greenwashing in your pursuit of purposeful, planet-supporting work.

The path to a regenerative career isn't always linear or straightforward. Embrace the complexity, sit with difficult questions, and trust in your ability to contribute to positive change.

The definitions in this episode were inspired by the work of Kasper Benjamin Reimer Bjørkskov, you can follow him on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kasper-benjamin-reimer-bj%C3%B8rkskov-660a4899/

2: Building Financial Stability in a Heart-Centered Business (Regenerative Coaching with Julia)

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 05:15:00 +0000

Julia was stuck on how to create financial resilience and effective marketing approach for her equine-facilitated learning business.

Like many of us, she was clinging to a corporate mindset focused on numbers, volume, and conversions, and finding herself blocked and disconnected from the heart of her business, struggling to convey the transformative power of her offerings.

Marketing lessons from nature

In this on-air coaching episode, Alisa shows Julia how she can be guided by the wisdom of her equine companions to unlock a marketing approach that resonates deeply with her purpose and values.

As she embraces vulnerability and shares her "why" – the driving force behind her venture – a palpable shift occurs. Suddenly, the disconnect between her corporate marketing tactics and the heart-centered nature of her work becomes glaringly apparent, paving the way for a transformative mindset shift.

In this episode, you'll hear Julia:

Recognizing the disconnect between her current marketing approach and the essence of her regenerative business
Discovering the impact of leading with authenticity and sharing her personal story
Embracing the wisdom of her horses and inviting them to guide her marketing efforts
Committing to a mindset shift that aligns her sales strategies with the regenerative principles at the core of her work.
