Episodes
88: A Season Finale
I'm back after missing an episode last week, and I owe you an explanation. I was away at Groundswell, a regenerative agriculture festival here in the UK with 10,000 people immersed in soil health, biodiversity, and healthy food systems. That, on top of a recent trip to visit new farmers in Cornwall, has brought a lot of acceleration to my new venture. It's time for some changes, and I wanted you t
87: The Work You Want Is Coming (You Just Can't See It Yet)
You left corporate — or you're on your way out — and right now the path forward isn't clear. Maybe you're months in and nothing has clicked yet. Maybe you're still in the job and exhausted by it. Maybe you've started building something and you keep wondering if it's working.This week I want to tell you something I've had to remind myself of recently: the hardest part is often the part right before
86: This Bit Is Meant To Feel Uncomfortable
You left corporate to find work that actually means something to you. And right now that process feels messy. Uncomfortable. Maybe even a bit lost.Here's a reframe: what if that discomfort isn't a sign you're doing it wrong? What if it's actually the surest sign you're heading in the right direction?It builds well before you ever hand in your notice, peaks once the structure of your old role disap
85: What Your Corporate Job Is Still Doing To You
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
84: The Room You Used To Belong To Isn't Yours Anymore
There's a particular kind of discomfort that comes with standing in a room you used to belong to and realising it no longer feels like yours. Not because you're unwelcome, but because something in you has moved on. If you've ever found yourself on the outside of a career, a sector or a version of yourself that once defined you, you'll recognise this feeling.This episode comes from a recent persona
83: Why I'm Out Of The Office And Among The Chickens
Most of us spend far too much time thinking about the work we want to do and not enough time actually experiencing it. We research, we read, we take course after course, we endlessly tweak the pitch deck. Some of it is necessary. Too much of it distances us from the meaningful work we actually want to do.Recently I've been firmly stuck inside my own head — lost in the complexities and thorny ques
82: Why I'd Build This Even If It Fails
This week I spent time with a flower farmer, making her a locally-sourced lunch, sitting in her field on a sunny day surrounded by brightly coloured flowers and buzzing bees. It was the perfect antidote to the fear of failure that I seem to be doing battle with every day.Doubt is a natural part of career change or building a business. Loneliness can go hand in hand with doing things differently an
81: When What You're Building Feels Too Big
This week I've been feeling the enormity of what I'm trying to build. I know I'm not alone. Stepping outside of the dominant system and building meaningful work of your own is hard. Overwhelm is an understandable response. But it doesn't help us. It's too easy to get stuck inside your head, wrapped up in story and believing all the internal chatter. Today's episode is about shifting your focus so
80: How I'm Getting My Brain On Board With My Big Idea
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 doi
79: Glamour Or Grind? A Fork In The Road
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 momen
78: When Your To-Do List Scares The S*t Out Of You!
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 d
77: Do You Have Main Character Energy? Or Are You A Supporting Artist?
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 —
76: What Changes When You Stop Looking For An Exit
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 p
75: What's The Worst That Can Happen?
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 som
74: How to Start Building the Thing You Can't Stop Thinking About
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
73: How I Stayed the Course Through 15 Years of Building a Meaningful Business (Even When Self-Belief Was Shaky)
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
72: How To Get Comfortable With The Messy Middle Of Purposeful Career Change
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 you
71: Quitting Corporate Doesn’t Mean Lowering Your Ambition
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 ac
70: Layoffs Aren’t a Personal Failure — But They Do Force a Career Decision
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
69: How to Build Work That Brings You Back to Life After Burnout or Career Change
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
68: Why values-first work is rare (and what to do about it)
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 happ
67: Leaving Corporate? Build Your Exit Ecosystem (Interview on the Up Your Impact podcast)
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
66: If leaping out of corporate feels too scary, build a bridge instead
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 abo
65: When work stops making sense (early signs of burnout)
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 naggin
64: Why I’m Choosing Consistency and Commitment in 2026
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
63: A Regenerative Christmas Carol – Part 3: The Ghost of Meaningful Christmas Future
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 fo
62: A Regenerative Christmas Carol – Part 2: The Ghost of Burnout Christmas Present
In this short Christmas mini-episode, I’m sharing something a little different: a regenerative retelling of A Christmas Carol, reimagined for modern work life.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
61: A Regenerative Christmas Carol – Part 1: The Ghost of Overworked Christmas Past
In this short Christmas mini-episode, I’m sharing something a little different: a regenerative retelling of A Christmas Carol, reimagined for modern work life. In Part One, we meet The Ghost of Overworked Christmas Past and reflect on the Christmases shaped by deadlines, expectations, and the steady erosion of rest.After the story, I share the real client experiences that inspired it and offer a g
60: 7 Stumbling Blocks On The Path To Meaningful Work (And How To Avoid Them In 2026!)
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
59: The Two Foundations Every Meaningful Business Needs
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 p
58: Sick of the job market? Why now is the perfect time to build your own business with purpose
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. S
57: What It Takes To Build Meaningful Work On Your Own Terms
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 wor
56: Don’t Just Quit Your Job — Pivot with Purpose
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 ep
55: Caught in the Corporate Layoffs? 6 Regenerative Approaches for Your Next Chapter
Just been laid off? Don’t rush to replace one problem with another. Consider a radically different approach to career change — even when it’s been thrust upon you.After another wave of corporate layoffs, thousands of people are facing uncertainty, exhaustion, and burnout.

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

52: Finding Purpose - How Clare Left Corporate Agencies to Build Meaningful Work for Changemakers
“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
51: Is Corporate Burnout Blocking Your Career Change?
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
50: You Don’t Need a New Job! How to Choose Purposeful Career Change Instead
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 thre
49: The 3 Types of People Who Need to Quit Corporate (and Find Meaningful Work)
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
BONUS: Live from Canary Wharf - Why I'm relaunching as From Corporate To Calling
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
48. Why REST might be the most meaningful work we do
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 ever
47. Creativity & Regeneration: The Artist’s Way
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 ar
46. When it's all falling apart...
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, busin
45. Age and regenerative work — a joyful exploration!
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
44: Making Space for Change: The Non-Negotiable of a Regenerative Career Transition
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 t
43. Sitting With Waiting to Respond (My First Experience with Human Design)
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 resistanc
42. Five things leading you astray and how to stay on your path
This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, scattered, or second-guessing themselves on their journey toward purposeful work. Alisa shares what she’s seeing come up most often as people work through the Purposeful Income Path—plus five powerful lessons that can help anyone stay grounded, focused, and moving forward (even when life is messy).You’ll learn:Why your financial goal might be too big or ab
41. I broke my own boundaries during my launch (here's what happened)
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
BONUS Stop procrastinating on the life-giving work you were meant for
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 secon
40: This changed my business! Introducing the Purposeful Income Path
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
39: Money and regenerative work? Let’s talk about it.
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 ther
38: Three ways to care for yourself as you build your regenerative business
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 r
37: Why you need a more meaningful financial goal for purposeful work
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 T
36: Tending, Not Tactics: A Regenerative Approach to Growing Your Business
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 s
35. How ego holds us back from regenerative work
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 u
34. The most JOYFUL conversation about marketing I've ever had! (Interview with Natalia Sanyal)
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 mounta
33. Immersing in Nature / Being Instead of Doing in Business / Creative, Energetic and Playful Offers
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
32: Spring / Finding Meaning in My Podcast / Fears for the Soul of Business / Returning to Nature
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 o
31. Build a business around your true value (not capitalism’s version)
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
30: Creativity over consistency: choosing a business rooted in life
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 eme

29. Why your “messy” career is actually your biggest strength - and how to own it
What if I told you that the very things you feel awkward or ashamed about in your career could actually be your biggest strengths?

28. Five reasons why you should INVEST in RADICAL career change
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. B
27. Put your career privilege to work!
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
26: The REAL reason you're not making the career change you want
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 y
25. What Is Your Corporate Salary Really Costing You?
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. I
24: Seeking an Injection of God In Your Regenerative Business
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 s

22: Stop Letting Money Decide— Start Purposeful Work You Love TODAY
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
21: How Community Activism Can Inspire Regenerative Work
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,
20: Want to Work Sustainably? Shift Your Focus from WHAT to HOW
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 bre
19: How To Handle A Regenerative Crisis Of Confidence (According To My 4 Year Old Son!)
