About this episode

In this episode, Alisa Murphy discusses how lingering corporate mindsets can hinder personal growth after leaving a corporate job.

You left the corporate job. Changed your title. Stepped away from the sector. But the operating system that defined how you worked, what you produced, and who you had to be to survive... that came with you. Most people trying to build something new after corporate are doing it while still running the old software. Then they wonder why it feels wrong and whether they'll ever find meaning and purpose in their work. In this episode I share the story of a client who was well into building before they realised how much the previous role was still shaping what they thought was possible. That was the real turning point in their building journey. If you've left corporate and something still feels off, or you're exhausted in a way that didn't resolve when you handed in your notice, this one's for you. There's a simple exercise at the end to help you start choosing what you carry forward and what you don't.
