About GenX Evolution

Burn the Map is for people who have left corporate, or are close enough that the date feels real. Host Shelley McIntyre spent decades in corporate strategy before leaving to build something of her own. She knows what it takes to untangle your identity from a title you've outgrown, and what gets easier and harder on the other side. Bi-weekly episodes on the work that comes before the job search: who you are when the role is gone, what got deferred over a long career, and what it looks like to build something that actually fits.

[…] Let's go. Your resume might be evidence of a bigger editing project that's been running the show for years. Real life might look much different than what someone can read on paper. Maybe the last six years were a hot mess. You got laid off during COVID. You had family health issues that soaked up a lot of time. Or you had a full-on breakdown and spent months clawing your way back to mental health. Your resume now shows that profound change as a sabbatical.
