From Corporate Into Calling is your lifeline. I’m Alisa Murphy, a regenerative business mentor and former CEO who walked away from corporate systems to build meaningful work of my own.

79: Glamour Or Grind? A Fork In The Road

From Corporate Into Calling: Career Change, Burnout,... ·

2026/04/22

This week I'm recording from inside my own fork in the road. Two paths with the same values at the core, but asking very different things of me. On one side, glamour — the route I've trodden before, where people sit up and pay attention. On the other, grind — the path of real, tangible work with no attachment that makes it interesting to the ego.What I'm learning, in real time, is that these moments are never really about the decision on the surface. Whenever we hit a fork like this in career or

2026/04/15

How does your to do list make you feel? Stressful, overwhelming? Or maybe it’s make you feel empowered and in control?Right now, my to do list is reasonably small... proportional to the time I have available... and really, really scary. Today I’m going to talk about why that is a really good thing and exactly where I need to be. If you’re building meaningful work for yourself and your to do list doesn’t feel at least a little bit terrifying, this episode is an invitation to up the ante. Next steps:✦

2026/04/08

This week a trusted advisor (my sibling) asked me a powerful question: am I a main character, or a supporting artist?This isn't about ego. It's not about ambition or status or who gets the credit. It's about finding the right energetic fit.I've watched really capable, accomplished people build careers and businesses in the wrong register — doing good work, meaningful work, work they're proud of — and wonder why something feels slightly off even when everything looks right.This week I had a version

2026/04/01

Some weeks the journey toward meaningful work looks like momentum and clarity. And some weeks it looks like stopping dead on the school run and saying out loud: what the **** am I doing?This week was the second kind.In this episode I share what happened when a wobbly week — the investment banker advice I didn't want to hear, the complexity that kept multiplying, the energy dispersing into backup plans and exit strategies — finally brought me to a single question: am I in or am I out?And what shifted

75: What's The Worst That Can Happen?

2026/03/25

The question most people making a career change are already asking themselves — just never out loud. It sits in the background, usually at 3am, shapeless and exhausting. This week I want to change that.Because naming the fear isn't pessimism. It's the thing that makes meaningful work actually possible. When you look directly at the worst case, something shifts — it gets smaller, and it becomes something you can build a response to.In this episode I share what happened when someone asked me this

Have you ever had an idea you couldn't stop thinking about — one that kept coming back no matter how many times life got in the way? The gap between that feeling and actually building something real is where most people get stuck. Not because they lack the vision or the talent, but because they don't know how to begin.In this episode I'm sharing five lessons for getting yourself into momentum when you're standing at the threshold of something new. From knowing where your energy comes from, to

If you’re seriously thinking about a career change but you’re afraid that stepping out of corporate might mean becoming less serious, less competent, or less ambitious — this episode is for you.You’ve probably said things like:“I’m good at what I do…but I don’t enjoy it anymore.”“It feels wrong in my body, even if it looks fine on paper.”“I don’t want another job like this — but what else could actually work?”Many high-performers stay where they are not because they love the work — but because

2026/02/18

A layoff isn’t just an income shock. What often hits just as hard is the identity rupture — the future you assumed was unfolding, the loyalty you invested, the structure you relied on.If all that matters right now is replacing income, do that. Stability matters. This episode isn’t here to compete with that.But if you’re questioning whether you want to rebuild your career inside the same structure that just eliminated your role — this conversation is for you.We break down three paths after

When my son was four months old, he came with me to a notary’s office in Berlin.I was setting up a company during Brexit uncertainty, travelling across Europe, growing fast. At the time, the structure of my life could hold that intensity and the work made sense inside it.Nine years later, everything looks different.In this episode, I explore what it really takes to build work that brings you back to life after burnout or career change.

So many people want meaningful work that aligns with their values — especially when burnout sets in or a career change starts to feel inevitable. Yet truly values-first organisations remain hard to find.In this episode, I share my experience of working closely with a genuinely values-first business, including time spent on retreat with the team in the Czech mountains. We explore what’s really happening beneath the surface of work like this — the choices, trade-offs, and commitments that make it

2026/01/21

Quitting your corporate job can feel like you’re teetering on the edge of an impossibly high diving board. Everyone’s shouting advice from below. You can’t see how far the drop is. And the idea of leaping — without knowing what comes next — is enough to keep most people frozen exactly where they are. What if you don’t have to leap? What if you can build a bridge instead?In this episode, I talk about why so many people stay stuck in work they’ve outgrown — not because they lack courage, but because

2026/01/14

What do you do when work stops having meaning for you? When the career you’ve poured years of energy into still looks fine from the outside, but no longer feels aligned? That moment can be hard to name — and even harder to act on — especially when nothing is obviously “wrong.”In this episode, I talk about that early phase that often comes long before burnout. The sinking loss of belief. The nagging questions that won’t go away. The sense that you’re propping something up that no longer makes sense
