Before You Leap
FREE GUIDE & WORKBOOK
A 6-part guide & workbook for knowing if you're actually ready to leave corporate.
For the person who's been thinking about leaving for a year — maybe even three — and keeps talking themselves out of it.
"I left a multi-7-figure corporate career in 2017. I've spent the last several years coaching high-performers through the same decision — and the identity rebuild that comes after."
— Anne
WHAT'S INSIDE
Six parts. Six honest conversations with yourself.
Each part has reflections and prompts to help you get clear on where you actually are — not where you wish you were.
I.
Are you really ready to close the door?
The honest test for whether you're leaving with peace — or with unfinished business that'll follow you to your next chapter.
II.
Do you know what you're stepping into?
How to tell if you're running away or being called forward — and how to spot the breadcrumbs of insight, especially when the destination isn't clear yet.
III.
Do you know who you're leaving as?
Why your nervous system isn't ready even when your mind is — and the 6 capacities to honestly rate yourself on before you leap.
IV.
Is your outside world ready?
The difference between a network and a community — and why the loneliness of transition is the part nobody talks about enough.
V.
Have you done the honest practical math?
The runway number to aim for, the health insurance myth that's kept smart people stuck for years, and the money story that's probably not as true as you think.
VI.
Are you ready to commit?
The backup plan trap — and how to tell when hedging is the thing actually keeping you small.
I've been exactly where you are.
I left corporate in 2017. Back then, nobody around me was making this kind of leap — everyone thought I'd lost my mind. I figured it out alone, eyes closed.
What I didn't have was someone telling me the truth — what actually mattered and what I was wasting energy on. I also didn't know how much inner work was in store for me. The identity rebuild and the capacity my nervous system would have to grow into. What it would take to become the version of me who could hold what was on the other side.
Your title is not your identity — but your nervous system doesn't know that yet.
This is the conversation I wish I'd had — with others, and with myself. Eight years later, it's the work I do every day.
"Anne supported me through a difficult period at work, helping me find the courage to leave a toxic situation and reminding me that I am worthy of happiness and a life that truly aligns with who I am."
