56: 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 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.
