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.

In this episode, I explore the radical and often uncomfortable role of rest in finding meaningful work.

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, businesses, or identities. Sometimes the unraveling is painful, disorienting, even ego-shattering. And

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 now.I share the story of a client in midlife who was transitioning out of corporate after a long pause
