Episode 6 - Why I Left My Corporate Career

Burnout, career change, and finding purpose beyond the 9-to-5 — this week I’m sharing my full corporate story and why I finally walked away in 2024.From cold calling in Paris to opening offices in Munich, from startups to large corporations across Europe and North America, I spent 14 years in the tech and software industry. And throughout all of it, I kept asking myself the same question: why most of my colleagues look so unhappy?In this episode I talk about people-pleasing and survival mode from a young age, two burnouts and what they taught me, why I stopped going on LinkedIn, what people on their deathbeds say they regret most, and how I’m redefining success, freedom, and joy on a daily basis.This isn’t an anti-corporate manifesto. It’s an honest conversation about what happens when the feeling of miserable finally exceeds the feeling of comfortable — and what comes next.If you’re feeling stuck in your career, burned out, or quietly wondering if there’s another way — this episode is for you.
