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 emerge from yet another period of illness (and the worst flu of my life), I am feeling into how I want to experience my business. This is a no script, no notes, “thinking outloud” episode.  ...creativity over consistency ...seasonality and cycles ...marketing without expectation ...being alive in business.  Next steps: Book a Discovery Call (https://calendly.com/regenerativeworklife/discovery) to learn more about Regenerative Career Coaching Subscribe to my email (https://www.regenerativeworklife.com/subscribe) for weekly guidance to help you quit corporate and build a successful regenerative career.

What if I told you that the very things you feel awkward or ashamed about in your career could actually be your biggest strengths? What if the aspects you worry will stop people from hiring you, investing in you, or buying from you are the very things that will attract them to you? In today’s episode, I’ll help you shift your perspective on career “messiness” and show you how to turn it into an advantage. I’ll share my daily struggle with real-life mess in my home—and how seeing it differently has revealed so many beautiful things about my family life. You can do the same with your career! I’ll walk you through a simple, practical exercise to uncover the potential behind the things you’ve perceived as imperfections or embarrassments in your worklife. Corporate life teaches us to value unnatural things like linearity and consistency. There’s no room for anything except the relentless climb up the career ladder—a constant push for efficiency, productivity, growth, and profit. But you, my dear listener, are so much more than that. Let me share a vision of work that supports your life instead of draining it. Whether you’ve taken time to raise children, stepped away from a career path that didn’t serve you, or simply want to create space for exploration and adventure in your work, today’s episode will help you embrace your choices—and turn them into strengths. ☕ Discover the Regenerative Worklife Café and sign up for our next gathering.

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. But YOU have an opportunity to define your career on your own terms. In this slightly punchy episode, I’m giving you five hard truths about why you should be investing in radical career change TODAY. I’ll explain what it means to invest in a meaningful career (it’s not just about money!) and why radical change is the only kind of transformation we have time left for.

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. In this episode, I explore my understanding of career and financial privilege, the role it has played in my own career transition, and why I am so passionate about guiding people to use their advantages to create meaningful change. Learn about the opportunity those of us with career privilege have to help deconstruct capitalistic, corporatized systems, build better ways of working, and give back.  Discover how you can actively restore nature, create and serve communities, and play an active role in meeting the challenges of climate change.

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 you. We are forging new paths, challenging deep conditioning, and often doing deep personal work along the way. In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between the practical concerns you think are holding you back—like money worries and doubts about your skills—and the deeper resistance that lies underneath. Resistance rooted in deeply held, often unconscious beliefs about your worth and value. As always, this episode offers practical ways to start shifting that resistance and taking action toward the purposeful work you truly want. If you’re delaying meaningful career change, convincing yourself to wait just a little longer, or feeling trapped by self-doubt, this conversation is for you. Have a question you'd like me to tackle in a future episode?

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. In a corporate setting, money is particularly powerful. You are paid well for your work, your healthcare may be taken care of, you have a company car, you get bonuses or dividends and before you know it, leaving no longer feels like a possibility.  If that describes you, you’re probably very well aware of what you stand to lose financially if you were to finally step away from that corporate job. But have you really stopped to think about what that corporate paycheck is costing you?  In today’s episode, let’s take an honest look at the cost of that secure paycheck that’s keeping you stuck in a job that’s sucking the life out of you. The more you understand about the price you’re already paying, the less you may find that money is such a dominant factor in your future career choices.  Download my free guide "How to Progress Your Regenerative Career Without (Yet!)

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.

Because a regenerative business isn’t just about sustainability—it should make you feel alive.

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 waiting for permission to do the work I loved and instead started taking action. I’ll guide you through thought-provoking questions to help you explore what’s possible when we decenter money in our decisions, even just for a moment.  What could you try? Who might you collaborate with? How could you start today? I also encourage you to take a playful approach: what if you set aside the question of how to make money from regenerative work and simply focused on doing it? I’ll share practical ideas for getting started, building confidence, and finding value in the process itself. If money feels like a barrier and you’re longing to reconnect with meaningful work, this episode offers a fresh perspective and tangible steps to help you move forward.
