Welcome, beautiful woman, to Episode 18 of the Nextfem Leaders Podcast!
Today we’re diving into Purpose at work: the truth nobody talks about - a conversation inspired by a recent post I shared on LinkedIn and an event I led on this topic.
More and more women are craving purpose in their careers… and many are wondering whether entrepreneurship is the answer.
But here’s the truth:
Entrepreneurship won’t magically fix the parts of work that feel misaligned — because those issues belong to the world we live in.
The good news?
You can build a more authentic, energising, aligned career — and it begins with inner work, not a career shift.
In today’s episode, I share:
- The romanticisation of entrepreneurship and why it concerns me
- What actually creates purpose at work (it’s not what you think)
- The mindset shift that changed everything in my own career
- Why clarity is born from action, not overthinking
- The three mindset shifts to help you create alignment right where you are
✨Reflection questions:
Am I expecting a career change to fix something that’s actually internal?
What part of myself have I not yet allowed into my current role?
Where am I romanticising the “other side,” instead of expanding where I am?
What small breadcrumb is life giving me right now?
This episode is for you if you want to feel more aligned, more purposeful, and more YOU in your work — without burning everything down.
