Let's do the damn thing!

Rock the Damn Boat is a podcast for women who were raised to be good, grateful, and quiet—and are ready to unlearn all three.Host Christy Hughes grew up in the Bible Belt, where the “right” path meant being practical, pleasing others, and not rocking the boat. As an empath and lifelong people-pleaser, she learned early how to read the room, put everyone else’s needs first, and silence her own instincts in the name of peace. But eventually, that way of living came at a cost. Nearly a decade sober from alcohol, her former coping mechanism, Christy blends personal storytelling with honest conversations about boundaries, burnout, sobriety, identity shifts, and redefining success—especially for women leaving corporate life, navigating midlife transitions, or stepping into leadership without losing themselves. You’ll hear from female founders, former high achievers, quiet leaders, and recovering people-pleasers who chose courage over compliance.This podcast is for women who were taught to stay small, be sensible, and keep the peace—but feel called to live louder, truer, and on their own terms. If you’ve ever said yes when you meant no, followed the “safe” path while your heart wanted more, or felt the tension between empathy and self-respect, Rock the Damn Boat is your permission slip to choose differently.You can learn more about Christy's personal and corporate coaching programs and retreats at <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.thrivewithchristy.com" target="_blank">www.thrivewithchristy.com</a>
