About this listen
Have you ever thought, “I just want to do something that matters”?
In today’s episode of Joy at Work, I respond to a listener who wants to leave a successful commercial career to work in the charity or not-for-profit space. If that sounds familiar—if you’re craving more purpose or impact—I invite you to pause before leaping.
I share what I’ve learned from years of working with midlife professionals who’ve felt the same longing. And I offer questions worth asking before you make a big switch. Because meaning doesn’t always come from where you work—it comes from how your work connects to who you are.
🎧 In this episode:
- Why switching to a not-for-profit role isn’t always the magic solution
- How to uncover what’s really missing from your current work
- The difference between industry and role misalignment
- A practical exercise to get clearer on what you actually want
- Why volunteering can offer more insight than job applications
