Pull up a chair—and grab your coffee.
Welcome to The Table
You don't have to wait until 2026 to start your exit strategy.
You just have to stop waiting for a breakdown to begin it.
I recorded this Career & Coffee session with one goal: to help you distinguish between burnout and misalignment, so you can design your next chapter from strategy... not survival.
Because here's the truth: Most people don't plan their exits. They escape them.
And the cost? Peace. Power. Positioning.
If you know corporate isn't your final destination, but you don't want to leap without a strategy—this session is for you.

A few things we talk about:
Burnout vs. misalignment (and how to tell the difference)
Here's the test: if you take a 2-3 week vacation and come back still feeling the pull to leave?
That's not burnout. That's a calling.
- How to leave without blowing up your finances
You don't need 12-18 months saved. You need 3-6 months of baseline expenses—enough room to make strategic decisions, not survival decisions. - Why you're not starting over
Corporate gave you the proof. The systems built. The teams led. You're repositioning, not restarting. - The strategic step back that led to my 177% salary increase
I walked into a Fortune 50 company overqualified for the role. Some seasons call for a step back to take a leap forward. - Your gut is data
Stop looking for external validation. You already know.
One thing that might land:
"Most people think it's stay safe or leap into the unknown. It's neither. It's strategic staging."
You don't have to choose between purpose and stability. You can build a runway AND take calculated risks.
If you're recovering from Thanksgiving, I hope it was restful.
If you're back to work already, I see you.
And if you're in that space where you know corporate isn't it anymore but you're not sure what's next? You're closer than you think.
Sometimes you don't need the whole staircase visible. You just need to win the day. Or the hour.
