The Corporate Cleanse
Hi, I’m Jen, and I sold my soul to corporate ladder climbing, a big salary, the fancy exec title, and corporate gold stars (which, as it turns out, are mostly company t-shirts and crisp high fives). Where did I find myself? Flat on my ass—needing a serious detox from corporate life. Join me as we discuss rebuilding your soul after the corporate charm has worn off (and maybe how to navigate corporate climbing while keeping some of your soul). We’ll also discuss rebuilding your identity, resetting your relationship with money, speaking up without being an asshole, and finding and keeping your calm—and, ultimately, finding success and self-love through it all.
The Corporate Cleanse
Romanticizing your corporate life (and a lil announcement)
First, a little announcement: your girl is headed back to corporate life
As I prepare to go back, I want to be really intentional about holding this peace and space that I've created during my sabbatical. Most of my corporate days can follow a pretty repeatable structure so they can become a little monotone - I can easily slip into auto-pilot. Anything I can do to interrupt auto-pilot, anything I can do to bring me present - has directly increased my life satisfaction, directly increased the things I’m grateful for, directly increased my overall life fulfillment, directly increased my ability to not LOSE it at work.
Romanticizing your life does not mean you have to NOT struggle with mental health, romanticizing your life does not mean that your life is easy, romanticizing your life does not mean being delusional about the shit that all of our lives are filled with.
Romanticizing your life means that you are taking more time to soak in the good stuff than the bad stuff.
