24. Rebecca Magee: Asking for a Layoff and Trusting the Inner Voice

Rebecca Magee is a Career Breaker.

After years working in social impact and corporate social responsibility, Rebecca took not one but two intentional career breaks, each one reshaping how she thought about success, safety, and sustainability in her work.

In this episode, she shares the story of her first break in her twenties, which helped her move from nonprofit work into a dream role in sustainable fashion. Years later, burned out and feeling ready for something new, she made the bold move to ask for a layoff so she could start her own business.

Rebecca talks about what it takes to listen to your gut, how to navigate uncertainty when plans change, and the importance of community and self-trust on the path to entrepreneurship.

Today, she runs Sister Seasons, where she supports changemakers and mission-driven organizations in building healthier, more human ways of working, grounded in the natural cycles of the body and the planet.

Listen in to hear Rebecca’s thoughtful and empowering journey. And follow the show for more stories from bold Career Breakers like her.
