Ever thought leaving the corporate world would feel like freedom… only to realise the hardest part is meeting the version of yourself you’ve been avoiding?
If you're navigating a career crossroads, feeling the tug away from the 9–5, or wondering who you are beyond your job title, this episode is for you.
This week, I'm sharing (with a very husky voice as I am poorly!!) the truth about leaving the corporate world the part no one prepares you for.
Not the redundancy paperwork or the career pivot…
But the identity shift.
The wobble.
The “who even am I now?” moment. Layer that with motherhood! That is a whole cocktail the redundeny career coach wasn't prepared for!!
In this deeply personal episode, I tell the story of how I went from crying in the loos at work, to navigating the shock of redundancy, to building a soul-led business rooted in purpose, motherhood, spiritual intelligence, and joy.
You'll hear how surprising “loose ties” (the people I barely knew and its actually weak ties - sorry! Read more in my blog on this ) played a bigger role in my reinvention than the colleagues who’d known me for years and why this matters for mums redefining success after burnout, identity loss, and returning-to-work confusion.
You’ll walk away with:
✨ The emotional truth of leaving corporate life (identity shifts, fear, uncertainty, relief)
✨ Why redundancy can be a catalyst for self-discovery (and not the disaster it feels like)
✨ How motherhood changes your sense of purpose more than any job title ever could
✨ The power of “weak ties” — and why networking with people who don’t know the “old you” is transformational
✨ The first pillar of Spiritual Intelligence: Know Yourself — and how this shapes your next chapter
✨ Why ambition doesn’t disappear in motherhood — it just needs a different home
✨ How spiritual intelligence + neuroscience can guide your next career move
✨ What it really takes to build a soul-aligned life after corporate burnout
