What happens when success stops feeling safe and your intuition starts asking for the microphone? In this episode of Life After Corporate, Deb Boulanger is joined by spiritual guide and transformational coach Alex Pursglove for a grounded and honest conversation about trust, self worth, and identity after corporate life. Alex shares how a life altering health diagnosis forced her to confront misalignment, unworthiness, and inherited beliefs that shaped her choices in work, relationships, and leadership. Together, they unpack why entrepreneurship exposes subconscious conditioning faster than any boardroom ever could, and how learning to trust yourself becomes a daily practice rather than a mindset switch. This episode explores intuition, identity shifts, visibility, pricing, boundaries, and why self trust is the foundation of sustainable success. You already know what needs to change. The question is whether you are willing to trust yourself enough to act on it.

Why do so many accomplished professionals leave corporate careers feeling confident in their expertise, only to second guess themselves when it comes to sales and pricing as entrepreneurs? In this episode, Deb Boulanger and Peter Svenneby talk honestly about what changes after the corporate title is gone. They explore the uncomfortable middle ground between purpose and profit, where self worth, visibility, and money start to collide.

They also address one of the hardest parts of the transition for women entrepreneurs, pricing with confidence in a market full of comparison and noise. This episode is not about tactics or hacks.
