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.

We’ve all seen it happen, an amazing employee gets promoted, and suddenly… everything falls apart. They’re stressed, their team is struggling, and leadership is wondering, “Where did we go wrong?”.
In this episode, I break down why top performance is not equal to leadership potential and how understanding the Rock Star vs. Superstar framework can help you promote the right people for the right reasons. Get this wrong, and you’re looking at burnout, disengagement, and costly turnover. Get it right? You’ll build stronger, more engaged teams and a thriving company culture.
Key Themes:
- Why your best performer might not be leadership material
- Rock Star vs. Superstar: Who should REALLY get promoted?
- The one critical question to ask before a promotion
- How misaligned promotions kill morale, productivity, and profits
- How to avoid setting new managers (and their teams) up for failure
