Published on March 11, 2026
•From Corporate Into Calling: Career Change, Burnout, Meaningful Work, Find Your PurposeWhat 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.
