Description

Does your career look good on paper but feel wrong in your bones? If you’re stuck in corporate — exhausted by burnout, questioning your work life balance, or secretly wondering “is this really it?” — you’re not alone. And you don’t have to tolerate it. 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. Now I help others do the same: leave behind burnout and misalignment, and create careers — often businesses or consultancies — that bring life back, to you and to the world. This isn’t about polishing your CV or slotting into another misaligned role. It’s about career change with purpose. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to find your purpose, build your own business, and create work that matters. Each week, I’ll share stories, provocations, and practical guidance to help you: Recognise the signs of burnout and know when it’s time to quit Redesign your relationship with work Find your purpose and create meaningful work Build a career or business that brings life back If your career looks good but feels wrong — this is your invitation to step out of corporate, and into your calling. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
