What do you do when work feels unfulfilling, meaningful creative projects are calling you, but you still have to pay the mortgage? How do you nurture the seed of an idea and test whether it can grow into a viable regenerative business concept?

This was the Sticking Point I explored with Harrie, in person, by a stream in my local woodland. Harrie came to me at a turning point, with a contract coming to an end and a series of great-on-paper jobs leaving her unfulfilled. She was yearning for more human interaction, greater immersion in nature, and a connection to her love of local projects—specifically sustainable land-workers. What Harrie lacked was the confidence and clarity to take those first steps.

Together, we worked through these uncertainties, helping Harrie gain the clarity and confidence she needed to take her first steps.

In our coaching conversation, we explore:

• Removing financial pressure from the early stages of a creative, regenerative project.

• Breaking down an ambitious project into manageable steps that bring you joy.

• The importance of believing in your idea and reminding yourself of the difference you want to make in the world.
  

This episode is for you if you’re ready to reconnect with your creativity, pursue those “impossible” ideas, and build the foundations for a regenerative business.

Come and sit by the stream with us, listen to the flowing water, and immerse yourself in the woodland and this inspirational conversation.

Some conversations bring out a fire you didn’t even know you had. That’s exactly what happened when I spoke with Johan Jensen, host of the Spiritual Emergency Podcast. Johan encouraged me to dive deep into topics I often hesitate to touch on, yet are deeply relevant to regenerative career transitions.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful extract from our conversation—the one that, in my own words, “lights an angry fire in me.” Johan and I tackled two big topics I’ve had an evolving relationship with: corporate sustainability and climate tech. As someone who spent over a decade devoted to climate tech, I’m now looking at the field through a new lens—one that reveals its limitations in driving systemic change and true transformation.

I want to share this with you because I see so many people, with the best intentions, entering the sustainability space only to be swallowed by the corporate machine. I’ve lived the experience of believing in a sector’s power to create change, only to see it held back by a lack of systemic and intersectional awareness.

In this episode, we’ll explore why sustainability without system change is simply a sticking plaster and why, if you’re moving into this space, it’s crucial to have your eyes wide open. Learn how to focus your efforts on creating meaningful change that truly makes an impact.

Tune in to learn:

• Why sustainability without systems change is just a sticking plaster

• How my experience in climate tech has shaped my view on real transformation

• Key questions to ensure your work in sustainability aligns with what truly matters

In this episode, I explore what defines a truly regenerative career and offer guidance for those who are navigating a sustainable job search while trying to avoid corporate greenwash.

I share insights on how corporations often co-opt progressive language for their own benefit and explain why terms like "sustainable," "green," and "impact" may not always align with truly regenerative practices.

This episode invites you to:
• Challenge your existing paradigms about work and impact
• Consider the broader ecosystem affected by your career choices
• Develop a more nuanced understanding of regeneration in practice

I'll share 4 essential definitions that will help you to identify truly regenerative opportunities and avoid the pitfalls of corporate greenwashing in your pursuit of purposeful, planet-supporting work.

The path to a regenerative career isn't always linear or straightforward. Embrace the complexity, sit with difficult questions, and trust in your ability to contribute to positive change.

The definitions in this episode were inspired by the work of Kasper Benjamin Reimer Bjørkskov, you can follow him on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kasper-benjamin-reimer-bj%C3%B8rkskov-660a4899/

What happens when self-doubt creeps into your regenerative career journey? In this episode, I share a personal story of finding unexpected wisdom from the backseat of my car, thanks to my 4-year-old son’s impromptu song.

You'll discover practical strategies for overcoming these moments of uncertainty, including how to reconnect with your "why," embrace a beginner's mindset, and find solace in community. Plus, hear the heartfelt words of a little song that might just inspire you to keep practicing and moving forward, no matter how wobbly the road feels.

If you've ever doubted your ability to make an impact or struggled with the loneliness of forging your own path, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone—and that confidence is a skill we can nurture together.

In this regenerative coaching session, I guide Shweta through her journey of embracing stillness and self-discovery. We explore the delicate balance between honouring one's intuition and navigating the pressures of conventional career paths.

A former aerospace engineer who is drawn to work is systems change, Shweta shares her experience of consciously stepping away from the incessant work culture to reconnect with herself.

We discuss:

The Power of Stillness

• How pausing can lead to profound personal insights

• Overcoming the discomfort of being "different" in a fast-paced world

Redefining Success

• Moving beyond traditional career metrics

• Aligning work with personal values and energy

As Shweta contemplates her next steps, we address the fear of limited opportunities and the pressure to conform. I offer guidance on:

• Trusting Your Inner Compass

• Recognising when an opportunity truly resonates

• The importance of saying 'yes' only when it feels right

Embracing Your Unique Path

• Valuing non-traditional experiences

• Confidently sharing your story with potential employers

This conversation serves as a powerful reminder that the journey to meaningful, regenerative work often requires us to challenge societal norms and trust our inner wisdom.

In this episode, I address a common fear that holds many professionals back from pursuing regenerative careers: the belief that they lack the right qualifications. Drawing from my personal journey transitioning from acting to leading a climate tech startup, I challenge the notion of being "unqualified" and emphasize the unique value each person brings to regenerative work.

I offer three actionable steps to help you connect your skills and experience to regenerative opportunities:

1. Identify Your Core Strengths

Strip away corporate jargon and list your skills in simple, child-friendly terms. This exercise reveals the essence of your abilities, making them more transferable to new roles.

2. Craft Your Authentic Career Narrative

Embrace your current career stage, including any pauses or transitions. I explain why these periods of stillness are essential for growth and how they align with nature's rhythms.

3. Take Small, Consistent Steps

Rather than fixating on a distant career goal, focus on daily, manageable actions that move you in the right direction. I share a client's story to illustrate how even tiny steps can overcome significant obstacles.

Throughout the episode, I emphasize that regenerative work spans far beyond a handful of specialized roles. It requires a diverse range of skills and experiences to reshape our economies and societies.

Julia was stuck on how to create financial resilience and effective  marketing approach for her equine-facilitated learning business.

Like many of us, she was clinging to a corporate mindset focused on numbers, volume, and conversions, and finding herself blocked and disconnected from the heart of her business, struggling to convey the transformative power of her offerings.

Marketing lessons from nature

In this on-air coaching episode, Alisa shows Julia how she can be guided by the wisdom of her equine companions to unlock a marketing approach that resonates deeply with her purpose and values.

As she embraces vulnerability and shares her "why" – the driving force behind her venture – a palpable shift occurs. Suddenly, the disconnect between her corporate marketing tactics and the heart-centered nature of her work becomes glaringly apparent, paving the way for a transformative mindset shift.

In this episode, you'll hear Julia:

• Recognizing the disconnect between her current marketing approach and the essence of her regenerative business

• Discovering the impact of leading with authenticity and sharing her personal story

• Embracing the wisdom of her horses and inviting them to guide her marketing efforts

• Committing to a mindset shift that aligns her sales strategies with the regenerative principles at the core of her work.

Many people working in corporate sustainability—like Cloé—feel deeply frustrated by the gap between their desire to create meaningful change and the reality of their work. They’re passionate about addressing challenges like climate change, fostering stronger communities, and reconnecting with nature, but often find themselves stuck, overthinking the “perfect” career path. The result? No action, and no impact.

In this episode, I sit down with Cloé to explore how to break free from that paralysis and start making tangible progress toward a career that matters. Together, we discuss:

• Why searching for the “perfect option” can keep you stuck.

• How to shift from overthinking to taking small, actionable steps forward.

• The power of guiding questions like “What brings me joy?” and “What am I most likely to move forward with?”

• How small, hands-on experiments—like growing mushrooms in your shoe cupboard—can spark creativity, clarity, and confidence.
  

Cloé’s journey highlights how aligning with your values—whether through community, nature, or impact-driven projects—can help you regain focus and build momentum. Progress doesn’t require perfection; sometimes, the best way forward is simply to get your hands dirty and see what grows.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, doubting your impact, or unsure where to start, this episode will inspire you to take meaningful action toward a regenerative, sustainable career.

I'm joined by spiritual guide Ryan James to discuss redefining success and purpose through a regenerative lens. We explore the profound importance of who we are and where we are as a foundation for meaningful career change.

Building on indigenous wisdom, Ryan invites us to:

• Reassociate with the land beneath our feet and its history

• Recognise Earth as a living, evolving being rather than a resource

• Shift our perspective on purpose and success

We discuss how the journey to a regenerative worklife begins internally, contrary to the action-oriented mindset many of us default to. Ryan explains:

• The interconnectedness of our internal and external worlds

• How Earth's evolution influences our own consciousness

• The true meaning of "crisis" and "emergency" as opportunities for growth

This episode invites you to reconsider your definition of success and explore what it truly means to live a purpose-driven, regenerative life.

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.

Immerse yourself in the second part of my conversation with Ryan James as we explore the profound shifts required for truly regenerative work.

Today, we delve into the interconnectedness of all things and challenge the compartmentalised thinking that often keeps us stuck in unsustainable patterns.

Ryan invites us to:

• Reconsider our relationship with common terms like "regenerative" and "circular economy"

• Embrace the discomfort of change as we align our work (and lifestyles) with planetary needs

• Reconnect with the elements that sustain us, starting with a powerful daily practice
  

We discuss the importance of "re-association" – remembering our connection to the earth and all its systems. This process involves:

1. Examining our surroundings

2. Embracing grief as a catalyst

3. Shifting our perspective on success

For those feeling the call to more purposeful work, this episode offers an Earth-rooted perspective on what that journey might entail. It's not just about finding a new job – it's about fundamentally reshaping our relationship with the world around us.

As institutional structures falter, we must find new ways to care for each other and our world. Our careers, work, effort and livelihoods are one of the most impactful spaces that we can do that in. I don't want fear to hold you back from that purposeful work for even a moment longer. So let's roll up our sleeves, overcome those fears and get to regenerative work. 

This episode delves into the three primary fears holding you back from pursuing purposeful, regenerative work:

1. Financial Concerns

I offer practical strategies to address money worries, separating your financial needs from your emerging regenerative career. Learn how to create a sustainable transition plan while nurturing your regenerative career.

2. Perceived Lack of Skills and Experience

Discover how to reframe your abilities beyond corporate jargon, focusing on core, transferable skills. I guide you through the process of identifying your unique contribution to the sustainability landscape.

3. Lack of Confidence and Self-Belief

Explore techniques to build self-trust and overcome limiting beliefs. Learn to recognize and distance yourself from unhelpful thoughts rooted in corporate conditioning.

This episode actionable steps to overcome each fear, emphasizing the interconnected nature of these challenges. By addressing one area, you'll naturally strengthen others, creating a positive feedback loop in your journey towards regenerative work.

I invite you to embrace this transformative process, recognizing that your work matters now more than ever. If your work no longer aligns with your values, it's time to step outside the system and pursue purposeful work that actually makes a difference.
