How to Leave Corporate and Build a Business Before You Quit | Tabatha Jones

Tabatha Jones — Executive Director turned Corporate Escape Sherpa — built her coaching business one hour a day while still inside corporate, and left with a plan already in motion. In this episode, she shares how she navigated four mergers, learned to negotiate after a decade of waiting to be recognized, and finally walked away from a Fortune 50 career when her body made the cost undeniable.

If you're a midlife woman wondering how to leave corporate without financial free-fall, this conversation is for you.

You'll hear:

  • Why the myth of meritocracy kept her in the same role for 10 years — and what changed when she finally asked
  • What Epstein-Barr and Lyme disease taught her about chronic workplace stress
  • The one-hour-a-day method she used to build a real business before giving notice
  • How she used self-advocacy to get a 19% raise and bring other women along with her
  • What her first Monday out of corporate looked like — and how long the rewiring really takes
