Nicole Donnelly Season 2 Episode 14

Host: Nicole Donnelly
Guest: Eleanor Tweddell – Speaker, Coach, Author of Why Losing Your Job Could Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You, and Founder of Another Door

In this empowering and heartfelt episode, host Nicole Donnelly welcomes the ever-insightful Eleanor Tweddell, founder of Another Door Opens and author of Why Losing Your Job Could Be the Best Thing That Ever Happened to You. From the Lake District hills to corporate boardrooms, Eleanor shares her transformative journey of career reinvention and how embracing resistance and uncertainty led her to build a life and business rooted in autonomy, resilience, and joy.

Together, Nicole and Eleanor dive deep into:

  • The surprising benefits of being made redundant
  • The myth of smooth transitions during life change
  • How resistance can be a signal, not a setback
  • The importance of “playing” during moments of uncertainty

Eleanor brings her signature blend of practicality, candor, and Northern English humor to a conversation that will inspire anyone facing a pivot—whether personal or professional.

💡 You’ll walk away with fresh perspectives on:

  • Embracing your identity outside of a job title
  • Claiming more agency in your career—even in corporate roles
  • Why being a beginner is a powerful position
  • The power of intentional decision-making during transition seasons
