Corporate Christie
Corporate Christie is the podcast for anyone who’s ever said, “I’m fine” at work while quietly unraveling inside.
Because no matter how much we pretend to separate work from life, the truth is—what happens at home shows up in your leadership. And what happens at work echoes into your relationships, your health, your self-worth.
I’m your black-sheep corporate sister, here to blend workplace insight with real-life healing. Expect raw, relatable episodes on what it actually takes to reclaim your time, your energy, your peace—and your career.
Whether you’re trying to learn how to drive employee engagement, lead more effectively, or stop shrinking in systems that weren’t built for you—this show will help you come back to yourself and build a life you’re proud to lead.

Let’s clear something up: unproductive employees aren’t lazy – they’re just fed up! When meetings drag on and tasks are hazy, the coffee breaks get longer and productivity takes a backseat.
In this episode, I unpack the hidden hurdles that drive employees to disengage, the coping habits they use to find control, and the sneaky questions to ask to REALLY understand what’s grinding their gears ⚙️
Key Themes:
- Coffee breaks and the “fake busy” act ☕
- Why endless meetings kill engagement
- How employees really vent at work
- Frustrations disguised as laziness
- Easy ways to boost engagement today!
