Corporate Christie
I blew up my life so I could finally live it.
I was stuck. Burnt out. People-pleasing. Over-functioning. Under-acknowledged. So I stopped everything. I walked away from the job, the marriage, the version of me that kept everyone else comfortable.
Now I’m here—still healing, still leading, and telling the truth about what it really takes to get free. This show isn’t about surface-level hacks. It’s about the big work: healing your patterns, finding your voice, and choosing yourself—again and again—until your life finally feels like it’s yours.
You’re not broken. You’re at the edge of something real. And this show will help you come home to yourself—because this is your life, and you deserve to feel proud on your deathbed.
