Description

Burn the Map is for people who spent decades in corporate jobs and now need to figure out what's next.


Host Shelley McIntyre is a former corporate strategist who left to become a coach. She knows what it's like to have your entire identity wrapped up in a job title, and what it takes to untangle yourself from it.


Weekly episodes cover the messy middle of career transition: how to admit you don't want what you worked years to get, how to stop performing competence you no longer care about, and how to build work that actually fits instead of what sounds good on paper.


No motivational fluff. No "find your passion" nonsense. Just honest conversations about what it takes to leave corporate life and not implode in the process.
