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.

#46 - When My Body Said ‘No’: The Breakdown That Rewired Everything
This one’s raw. I just told the truth.
In this first episode of Corporate Christie, I talk about the moment my body shut me down — hard. Not because I was tired, but because I’d been powering through pain for years. It all caught up with me. Burnout wasn’t just a work thing. It was a life thing. And this podcast is going to talk about both.
This isn’t a productivity podcast. It’s not “how to be better at work” without talking about the real stuff getting in your way. We’ll get into that too — because I love giving tactical advice — but first, I had to go through it. And now I’m ready to tell the whole story.
💡 What I cover in this episode:
- The identity crisis that hit after I built something successful
- How childhood conditioning around productivity shaped me
- Why I paused Engagement Academy and how I’m reshaping it
- A cold plunge, a linen closet, and one surprising meditation
- The moment I met 8-year-old me in my mind’s eye — and what she said
- How divorce, loss, and no-contact family choices reshaped my values
- Why we can’t talk about leadership without talking about healing
- And why I’m done pretending life and work are separate

💬 Closing thoughts:
If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t do this anymore,” — good. That feeling might be the start of something better.
You're not broken. You're just waking up. And this show is here to walk through it with you.
