About this episode

This episode discusses navigating the challenges of the 'messy middle' during a purposeful career change after leaving corporate work.

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. Self-Directed Work That Works For You This 90-minute workshop will help you build a clear, practical framework for work that fits your values, your strengths, and your life. You've spent years being exceptionally good at work that was built around someone else's priorities. Now you're in a different moment — one where you have ideas, skills, and a growing sense that something new is possible. The problem isn't capability. It's clarity. This workshop is designed to give you that. Book here. Next steps: ✦ Discover the Meaningful Business Incubator ✦ Subscribe to my emails ✦ Book a call with me Related episodes: → Leaving…
