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.

#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.
