6: Embracing the Messy Path to Purpose in Regenerative Work

Regenerative Worklife: how to quit your corporate job and grow a successful career rooted in nature, climate & community

In this intimate episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes on my two-year journey from climate tech entrepreneur to regenerative career mentor. It's a story of trust, curiosity, and embracing the unknown – essential elements for anyone considering a similar transition.

I share my personal struggles with letting go of the corporate mindset and allowing myself to explore unconventional paths. From forest bathing to "coaching in the wild," each seemingly frivolous experience played a crucial role in shaping my current work.

Redefining Purpose

I challenge the common narrative around finding your purpose, offering a fresh perspective that aligns with regenerative principles. Instead of viewing purpose as a destination, I invite you to see it as:

• A feeling of connection

• Alignment with your values

• A garden to be cultivated

Lessons from the Journey

My story illustrates four key takeaways for those embarking on their own regenerative career transition:

1. Create Space - Learn why giving yourself time (and often, financial breathing room) is crucial for authentic exploration.

2. Embrace Play - Discover the power of childlike curiosity and how it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs.

3. Trust Your Curiosity - I explain why following seemingly random interests might be the key to unlocking your path.

4. Mind Your Thoughts - Understand how to navigate the internal voices of doubt and societal expectations.

This episode offers a raw, honest look at the messy, non-linear process of aligning your career with regenerative principles. If you're feeling lost or questioning your next steps, my story might just give you the permission and inspiration you need to keep exploring.
