What happens after you wake up from the life you were told to want?

At 34, I walked into rehab emotionally and spiritually bankrupt. My best attempt at life had failed.

After years of therapy, recovery, spiritual study, and deep self-work, I began to rebuild work, love, health, self-worth from the ground up.

This podcast shares the raw stories, lessons, and conversations from that journey, with practical tools for anyone reimagining their life after breakdown, burnout, or awakening.

You don’t have to escape your life you can build one worth staying for.

Awakening at Work: Your Dharma Isn't Your Job Title

Season 1 · Episode 12

Monday, June 22, 2026 • Duration 01:19:17

Awakening at Work: Your Dharma Isn't Your Job Title

With Ratna Morjaria, Founder of Dharma Awakenings

Most of us spend our working lives chasing the next title, the next bonus, the next milestone, convinced that somewhere up ahead, we'll finally feel enough. But what if the whole thing is running on fear we've never stopped to name?

In this conversation, Quinn sits down with Ratna Morjaria, chemist turned global HSE leader turned consciousness coach, to explore what it really means to lead from the inside out. With 27 years of corporate experience across the UK, Europe and Shanghai, Ratna brings rare credibility to a radical idea: that the greatest workplace crisis isn't productivity or engagement, it's disconnection from self.

Together they explore:

Why most fear in organisations has nothing to do with actual survival
The difference between inner purpose and outer purpose, and why chasing the latter leaves you empty
What Dharma actually means, and why your true purpose was never a job description
How one breath can be the difference between reacting and choosing
Practical tools for creating psychological safety in teams, including a live guided meditation

This episode will land differently depending on where you are. If you're leading a team, it might challenge how you show up. If you're climbing a ladder, it might make you question which wall it's leaning against. And if something in your life has recently collapsed, this one's for you.
