How a 35-Year Corporate Veteran Became "The Corporate Escapee" | Astrid Weisseise

Astrid Weisseise spent 35 years building a corporate career that looked exactly like success was supposed to look. Titles. Responsibility. A workload that followed her on every vacation she tried to take. Then she did something most executives only think about: she cashed in two years of banked overtime, booked a one-way ticket, and spent months traveling through the U.S., Hawaii, Bali, and South Africa figuring out who she actually was outside of a job title.What she came home with wasn't a retirement plan. It was a blueprint.Today Astrid runs The Corporate Escapee — a platform and Solopreneur Playbook helping professionals turn their corporate experience into something they actually own. She coaches. She creates. She's built a significant following on TikTok and Instagram. And she's constructed a genuine portfolio career: multiple income streams, full ownership, none of it dependent on any single employer's org chart.Call it a lot of things but do not call her an influencer!In this conversation, Astrid and Nicole dig into what the leap actually looks like from the inside, and what it really means to build a career on your own terms — not as a concept, but as a functioning business.
