In this solo episode, Christina explores a powerful and timely conversation for women feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure whether to stay in their current role. With mid-year pressure mounting and burnout knocking on the door, many women are caught between waiting for their annual bonus and making a much-needed change. But what's the real cost of staying?

Christina unpacks the emotional and energetic toll that "waiting it out" can take from eroding confidence and self-worth to impacting mental clarity and relationships. Through a powerful client story, she illustrates how chasing a financial milestone can sometimes delay the healing and clarity needed to move forward with intention.

You'll walk away with key reflective questions and journal prompts that help you assess your current energy, understand your motivations, and determine whether your reasons for staying are rooted in strategy or fear. Whether you're debating a big move or just need clarity, this episode will help you tune in to your inner wisdom and give you permission to choose what's right for you.

In this heartfelt and reflective solo episode, Christina Storey invites you to sit with her on a special day - her 53rd birthday - for a raw and honest conversation about growth, identity, and who we're becoming as women.

This one breaks away from the usual focus on goals and strategy. Instead, Christina opens up about the subtle, yet powerful identity shifts she's experienced across each decade of her life. From the carefree energy of her 20s to the uncertainty of her 30s, the awakening of her 40s, and now, the empowered intentionality of her 50s - this is a candid look at personal evolution.

She explores the question so many women quietly ask themselves: "Is this it? Am I allowed to want more?" Christina's reflections serve as both a mirror and a map, helping you consider your own evolution. Whether you're in a season of questioning, a messy middle, or just starting to listen to that quiet voice nudging you toward more, this episode is here to remind you that it's okay not to have it all figured out. Because becoming her isn't a destination, it's a daily choice.

In last week's episode we set bold intentions for 2025, but it is easy to get complacent and put yourself second. In this episode of Her Career Coach, Christina Storey guides you through how to stay aligned with your intentions, keep building momentum, and step into the confident, capable woman you're meant to be.

If you've found yourself slipping back into old habits after setting bold intentions at the start of the year, don't worry, you're not alone. Christina shares some of the neuroscience behind why this happens and how to reprogram your mindset through understanding your Reticular Activating System (RAS). By shifting your focus from self-doubt to self-belief, you can start seeing proof that you're growing into the woman you aspire to be.

She also dives into the power of small, consistent steps, the importance of celebrating every win (no matter how small!), and how to create a 90-day action plan that keeps you moving forward. This episode isn't about wishing and hoping, it's about the practical steps and making the decision to follow through.
