From Social Worker to Storytelling Copywriter: Leesa Morris on Leaving the Public Sector Well

After 17 years as a social worker in the public sector, Leesa Morris was burnt out and exhausted from trying to fit into an environment that wasn't made for her. In this honest and inspiring conversation, she shares how she transitioned to becoming a storytelling copywriter - work that allows her to be authentically herself.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why people behave in ways that aren't in their own best interests - and how understanding stories changes everything
• The hidden exhaustion of constantly worrying about saying the wrong thing or not "playing the game properly"
• What it's like to be "a flower in the wrong soil" for nearly two decades
• The relief of no longer having to mask who you are every single day
• How small steps compound into significant change
• Why leaving doesn't have to be dramatic - you can build slowly or leap, but the key is doing something
• The honest reality that running your own business has different stressors - but it's a completely different universe

Leesa is refreshingly honest about the challenges of self-employment while being clear: there's a whole world of people thriving in their work and being themselves. If you're stuck in the "this is just how life is" mindset, this conversation is for you.
