Second Act, First Steps with Tabatha Jones

Send us Fan MailThinking about leaving a stable corporate role but not sure how to do it without blowing up your life? We sit down with Tabatha, the Corporate Escape Sherpa, to chart a grounded path to a fulfilling second act that honors your paycheck, your benefits, and your sanity. No beach hustle myths here—just a clear, tested plan for building a coaching or consulting business while you’re still employed.We start with clarity, walking through Tabatha’s Freedom Framework: why you want change, what skills you’ll bring forward, who you’ll serve, and how you’ll reach and help them. You’ll hear how to separate work you’re merely good at from work that lights you up, and how to validate a real problem clients will pay to solve. We unpack confidence hurdles that stop many high-performing women—perfectionism, comparison, and the identity shift of leaving a big company—and reframe confidence as the byproduct of aligned action rather than a starting requirement.Money and time are the real constraints, so we go deep on both. Learn how to audit money leaks, build a financial runway, and partner with a financial advisor to model timelines and reduce fear. Then reclaim one focused hour a day for needle-movers: client outreach, offer iteration, delivery, and networking outside your employer. We skip the logo rabbit holes and highlight the habits that compound: small experiments, consistent conversations, and gratitude practices that keep your attention on opportunities instead of obstacles.If you’re midlife and wondering whether it’s “too late,” you’ll find encouragement and a practical blueprint to build before you bounce. Tabatha also shares her free Corporate Escape Starter Kit with actionable steps on finances, networking, and early client growth, plus where to connect with her on LinkedIn and Instagram.
