128 Leaving your corporate life behind
Manage episode 277800638 series 1030781
Show Notes
- 70-80 years of life – it’s such a tiny period of time, really
- When my Mum began to become unwell, it made me question – would I ever make my own dreams come true? When she got well, I felt I needed to make the change more than ever – I was compelled
- When my husband and I travelled for a year I felt more fluid and more purposeful than I ever had. I needed the freedom to think
- We stumbled across so many artisans and from an initial seed of an idea, an entire business eventually grew
- I could not slot back into “normal life” again - I used to be happy in a creative marketing role, but over the years it changed into a more traditional corporate role and it just didn’t fit me anymore. I felt trapped by commitment
- As I looked back, I could see the Universe was showing me signs – “this is what you love, this is what’s for you”
- I worked through self-doubt and imposter syndrome, again and again, it’s an ongoing thing
- I had so much to learn – when you work for a business, it’s all done for you, when you have to do it all for yourself, it’s hard
- I got a mentor to help me shape my ideas and a community for encouragement and support
- I have to pinch myself now, when I see how far I have come!
- It’s so good to have purpose, to be doing the things that lights me up
