Career Congregation is your weekly gathering for all things career — a space to explore the highs, the lows, and the incredible stories of people who’ve navigated career challenges, stepped through fear, and found success and growth on the other side. Hosted by therapist and coach Meghan Fitzpatrick, each episode offers real-life inspiration for reclaiming confidence and direction in your work.
In this week’s episode, Meghan is joined by Deborah Craig, The Holistic Hypnotherapist and founder of Release, Reset and Rise. Deborah helps ambitious women release the past, reclaim peace, and rise into their full potential through one-on-one experiences, retreats and online self-healing programmes.
Deborah shares her deeply personal story of growing up in Scotland, building a stable corporate career, and then hitting an emotional rock bottom at 39 that changed everything. From burnout and self-sabotaging cycles to discovering the healing power of therapy, psychology, and self-work, she opens up about her ten-year transformation that led her to leave the corporate world, pursue a psychology degree, and create a business built on purpose and authenticity.
The conversation explores themes of inner healing, recognising and breaking patterns, and listening to the “whispers” of dissatisfaction before they become life-shaking crises. Deborah reflects on how she found peace, freedom, and alignment through her work, and why she now encourages others to take small steps of trust even when the path ahead feels uncertain.
This episode is filled with raw honesty, inspiration, and practical wisdom for anyone facing burnout, feeling stuck in a career, or wondering if it’s too late to make a change. Deborah’s journey is a reminder that healing, fulfilment, and meaningful work are always possible—at any age.
