12: Can I Pursue Creative, Community Projects While Still Paying the Mortgage? (Regenerative Sticking Point With Harrie)

Regenerative Worklife: quit corporate, regenerative business, regenerative career, sustainability jobs, climate jobs, green jobs, transition

What do you do when work feels unfulfilling, meaningful creative projects are calling you, but you still have to pay the mortgage? How do you nurture the seed of an idea and test whether it can grow into a viable regenerative business concept?

This was the Sticking Point I explored with Harrie, in person, by a stream in my local woodland. Harrie came to me at a turning point, with a contract coming to an end and a series of great-on-paper jobs leaving her unfulfilled. She was yearning for more human interaction, greater immersion in nature, and a connection to her love of local projects—specifically sustainable land-workers. What Harrie lacked was the confidence and clarity to take those first steps.

Together, we worked through these uncertainties, helping Harrie gain the clarity and confidence she needed to take her first steps.

In our coaching conversation, we explore:

• Removing financial pressure from the early stages of a creative, regenerative project.

• Breaking down an ambitious project into manageable steps that bring you joy.

• The importance of believing in your idea and reminding yourself of the difference you want to make in the world.

This episode is for you if you’re ready to reconnect with your creativity, pursue those “impossible” ideas, and build the foundations for a regenerative business.

Come and sit by the stream with us, listen to the flowing water, and immerse yourself in the woodland and this inspirational conversation.
