In this powerful episode, Christina dives into the real experience of being at a career crossroads — that uncomfortable but deeply important moment when you realise the role you've outgrown no longer fits who you are.

Drawing on insights from a recent workshop with 55 mid-career women, Christina explores why so many professional women feel stuck, unclear, or disconnected at work, and what it actually takes to gain career clarity and confidently choose your next step.

You'll be guided through reflective questions from her signature Her Career Journey framework, helping you reconnect with your strengths, recognise what's no longer aligned, and begin to reignite your career with intention rather than pressure.

If you're feeling lost in your career, unsure about your next move, or craving a sense of direction, this episode will help you get clear, grounded, and ready to take your next aligned step.

The next round of Reignite Your Career begins in January 2026. Join the waitlist here: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/form/rEY0w2bRhueK8lO8RC1e

What do you do when everything looks fine from the outside, yet inside, you feel like a shell of the woman you once were?

In this episode, Christina is joined by the brilliant and brave Karen Lauf, who shares her deeply personal story of rebuilding her confidence and rediscovering her voice after facing rejection, burnout, and self-doubt. A year ago, Karen was at a crossroads, professionally successful on paper, but emotionally drained and disconnected from herself. When a missed promotion collided with personal challenges, it cracked something open in her. She realised she'd spent so long giving to everyone else, she had forgotten how to show up for herself.

What followed was a transformative coaching journey, one marked by vulnerability, tough truths, mindset shifts, and ultimately, a powerful reconnection with the woman she had always been. Karen opens up about the moment she realised her confidence wasn't as solid as it seemed, what it felt like to finally embrace her self-worth, and how she found peace, alignment, and purpose again.

If you're feeling stuck, lost, or like life has quietly pulled you away from who you truly are, this conversation will speak straight to your heart. Karen's story is living proof that no matter how far off course you feel, you can come back to yourself. And when you do, you might just realise that the version of you you've been waiting for was there all along.

You're not broken, your nervous system is just exhausted.

In this solo episode, Christina opens up about what really happens after you leave a high-stress career and why the "freedom" of stepping away doesn't always bring the instant relief we hope for. If you've been stuck in procrastination, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or feeling numb, this episode is a must-listen.

Christina takes you behind the scenes of her own transition out of corporate life and into entrepreneurship and what surfaced once the urgency and constant noise disappeared. She explores how years of operating in fight-or-flight mode conditioned her nervous system, and how that dysregulation can sneak into our focus, confidence, and self-worth even after we "make the leap."

You'll learn how nervous system regulation, shadow work, and compassionate self-awareness can radically shift how you show up, not just at work, but in life. Christina shares how recognising the signs of nervous system burnout has changed everything, and how this understanding is now a core part of the work she does with clients.

This episode is your permission slip to slow down, listen in, and meet yourself with grace, because healing doesn't start with hustle. It starts with noticing.

What if your career looked perfect on paper but felt completely wrong on the inside?

In this episode of the Her Career Coach Podcast, Christina redefines what career coaching for women really looks like. She shares what's been missing in traditional career coaching and introduces her new framework: Her Career Journey - a model built around four key phases every woman moves through in her career.

After coaching hundreds of women through career change, mindset blocks, and leadership evolution, Christina has seen firsthand why surface-level strategies like tweaking your resume or practising interview answers aren't enough. True transformation happens when you shift what's going on beneath the surface so that you can move from stuck and self-doubting to confident and self-led.

Christina walks you through each phase of Her Career Journey - Her Crossroads, Her Move, Her Evolution, and Becoming Her - so you can identify where you are right now and what kind of support will help you move forward. Whether you're questioning your path, ready to pivot, navigating imposter syndrome, or stepping fully into your power, this framework is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Thinking of quitting and making a bold career move… but unsure how to carve a path that's both strategic and meaningful? This episode will show you how to do exactly that.

In this candid conversation, Christina is joined by her long-time friend and respected people leader, Beck Chapman, who's no stranger to brave career pivots. With over 20 years of experience in HR, learning and organisational development, Beck shares how she's navigated major transitions across industries (from banking to FMCG to global leadership at Philip Morris International) while staying grounded in her values.

Together, Christina and Beck unpack what it really takes to make intentional career shifts, especially when they come with risk, rejection, or that creeping voice of self-doubt. Beck opens up about her own crossroads moments and the mindset work required to navigate uncertainty, redefine success, and stay aligned with what matters most.

They also dig into the evolving expectations of leadership post-COVID, how empathy and vulnerability have become critical leadership traits, and why your values, not your job title, should lead your career decisions.

If you're questioning whether to stay, pivot, or start over, this one's for you. Because life is too precious not to love what you do.

This milestone episode marks one year since Christina pressed record on the very first Her Career Coach episode. From a podcast mic that sat untouched for over two years (hello inner critic!) to a growing community of listeners and life-changing "aha" moments, this episode is a heartfelt reflection on growth, courage, and starting before you feel ready.

Christina shares the raw and very real story behind launching the show: the fears, the perfectionism, and the internal dialogue that tried to keep her small. And she doesn't stop there. She talks about the fear many of us are feeling now about AI in the workplace.

Spoiler alert: AI isn't here to take your job, it's here to give you time back. Christina unpacks the myths around automation and fear-based media headlines, offering instead a grounded, empowering perspective. She breaks down how she's using AI tools to streamline the "ugh" work so she (and her clients) can focus on what really matters.

Whether it's sitting down with a mic or opening a new tool that intimidates you, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to take your next brave step, however messy it may be.
