High ticket sales are not just about what you say. They are shaped by how you think, what you believe, and how you show up.

In this episode, Robina is joined by business coach Christine Corcoran to explore how mindset and inner alignment influence the way you sell. They unpack how identity, beliefs, and subconscious patterns impact confidence, communication, and the way you lead inside your business.

Christine shares how misalignment can create resistance, even when you have the right strategy in place, and why selling becomes more effective when it feels grounded and clear. This conversation offers a practical look at what it means to build a business where your internal state supports your external results.

In this episode, they share:

• How mindset and identity shape the way you sell
• Why internal alignment impacts confidence and communication
• The role of subconscious patterns in sales and leadership
• How misalignment creates resistance, even with strong strategy
• What it looks like to sell in a way that feels clear and sustainable

SPEAKER_01

I'm so excited to be here. And it was so lovely to meet you in Toronto.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I was. I know that a lot of our entrepreneurs and CEOs that are listening in are really going to get some amazing insight from you based on your experience, but also just your experience that you've gone through through life to develop where you are now. So I would love you to share a little bit of your background of how you ended up going through the things that you went through in order to bring you to where you are today.

SPEAKER_01

I've been in business now almost nine years. And before that, I was working in corporate and I was in corporate sales and business development. I have always been someone that has given my all, always been someone that gives 150% in a role of whatever's expected of me. I would always go above and beyond. That really was a trait of mine that I thought was really valuable. I was a hard worker. I grew up in a family of farmers. So we were expected to work hard, and that was really deeply ingrained in us. And so I was in corporate for six and a half years. And there was a moment in corporate where I realized that back then we were very much taught when it comes to sales. We were taught sales strategy and we were taught business strategy. And we were to take that strategy to grow other people's businesses, take it to business owners, give it to them, and hope that they would then succeed with it. What I found was that some people would take it and run with it and do really well. Others I would see a month later and they hadn't done anything or they hadn't fully executed on the strategy. At the time, I thought it was me. I thought it was like, well, it must be the way that I'm delivering the content. It must be the questions that I'm asking, it must be the way that I'm communicating. So I then was like, well, I need to develop myself because there's something missing here. And so I went and started to study human behavior. I started to study communication styles and leadership styles. Through that, I discovered what this world of coaching was. I did not know back then it wasn't a thing here in Australia. Tony Robbins was big, but it wasn't something that we thought was a career that we could do. And so I discovered this thing called coaching. And then I started studying even further because I came obsessed with it. Through that experience, I developed myself, which, as you do, every coach will tell you, when you're going through coach training, you go through and you use the tools on yourself and you have coach partners that then coach you. And so you are developing yourself on all new levels. And so that was happening for me. And I remember taking what I was learning with the mindset and what needed to shift and change, take that back to my clients and saw really great results with it. And so then the corporate company were like, What are you doing? Something's working really well. Can you tell us? And then I started sharing it with them. And then they asked me to then start training their sales teams because it was a huge missing piece back then. It was very much the masculine side of things, right? Like the real masculine strategy. And so like the mindset was woo-woo. Whereas really, when we know it now, it's neuroscience, it's understanding what makes us tick, what drives us, what makes us create change or avoid change. And so I started to love that side of it. And so then I had this inkling of like, well, hang on, I really want to step out and do my own thing. I want to start serving the clients that I truly want to work with. And so I slowly but surely started building up my business alongside my corporate role before I then was able to then step away and be full-time in my business. And so it's been a huge journey of evolution, of expansion, of challenge and unlearning all the belief systems about me and who I am as a person and then evolving myself over the years. And I'm sure we're going to get into. There was definitely moments of almost burnout, very much so in corporate. And I will share with you why that happened and what I uncovered with regards to what I was doing within my coaching and why I felt that happened. But that's a bit of the background of where I've come from. And now I work with women in business who focused on service-based, and I help them break through their limitations and I help them uncover what needs to shift and change in order for them to lead at the level that they want to lead at and help them scale their business. Because as we scale, all of our fears and all of our doubts come to the surface. And it's actually a big mindset focus that needs to happen, an identity upgrade that needs to happen, as well as some nervous system work in order for us to really scale. So it's less about the strategy at that point, which is what I love to work on.

SPEAKER_00

And I love that because I think a lot of business owners don't really understand that there's a lot of subconscious programming that needs to be broken down in order to like take yourself to the next level. So whatever worked for you to get to the level that you're at, I always say like you need an upgrade. And so that's where you come in. So you talked a little bit about being a high achiever. Tell me a little bit about where you learned that. You know, you come from a family of farmers, but I do believe that high achievers basically are developed over time because it's a way that we are seen in the world. So how did that affect you in the workplace? Because you said, you know, you knew how to get things done, you figured stuff out, then you go back in. Was there a disconnect that started to happen for you that you started to realize, wait a second, like I don't really want to be this level of work all the time. I want to figure out a way to work with my body.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, there was a couple of things. So where it comes from very much through my upbringing. So obviously, yes, as my parents, especially my dad, was an extremely hard worker. And so it was very modeled. It was modeled to me that you work hard, you push beyond the limitations, you push beyond tired, you push beyond whatever your body is telling you, and you push through. That was very much an ingrained belief system that I had. And the high achiever side of things, I believe, comes from a need from approval. And so for me, again, it was very much linked to my dad. He was someone that wasn't very emotionally available. And so I craved that from him. I had a deep need for his approval in all that I did. And so it wasn't until I was going through coach training that I uncovered that and was like, isn't that interesting? Like I know that I crave his love and I know that I want his love and I do have it. Like, I mean, there's not someone that would say, I love you, but it's definitely shown through other forms. So when I started to understand love languages, I realized that he did it in different ways. And so I knew that he loved me, but there was still a deeply, deeply ingrained need to feel like I've got his approval. That need was driving a lot of behavior. And so he used to also then enforce the high achiever. So he would always say, like, when are you gonna get your boss's job? And at one point I was like, I don't even know if I want my boss's job. Like I kept striving and striving and striving and realizing that I was in this corporate model that they didn't really reward talent. They didn't really reward skill sets. They really rewarded popularity. And that really frustrated me because I was like, I have the skill set, I have the abilities, yet here you are giving it to the people that have been here the longest or the loyal people. Like I've been there six and a half years, is that not long enough? It really started to grind my gears. And so there were a few different things that happened. So one, I actually worked through clearing the approval, the need for approval from my dad. And that was literally like stepping into a whole new identity. Like I had to then learn to know what it meant to be in the world without needing and requiring that approval. It was really fascinating to me. So I was like, if this is what's impacting me, imagine what is impacting other people, like the limiting beliefs, the influences that we have that drive our behavior. And so I still gained a lot of significance from the high achieving as well. Like I won awards. I was, you know, flown to Mexico and Vegas. Like I did really well in my role. And so I was getting a lot of significance from it. But there was a moment when I was doing a lot of my values work with my coaching training to uncover what was really important to me and realizing that my values were externally driven. So I was looking to other people to fulfill my needs. And through that work, I was like, hang on a minute. That's completely out of my control. If I sit here and wait and expect my boss to fulfill my need for approval, because that's how it showed up. Like if I had that need for approval from a parent, then you look to other authority figures to give that to you too. And so I was doing that. I realized in that moment that I was like, that's out of my control. I need to come back to fulfilling my own needs. As I then started to realize that there was a values misalignment with the corporate company that I was working with, then I was like, okay, hang on, something needs to shift here. I had a few moments where I felt like I just had lost my purpose, had lost my drive. I didn't care as much in the way that I had previously cared that caused me to strive. And I realized that it was a values misalignment, but I also realized that it was because I wasn't really being valued. So even though that significance was being fulfilled by a way of I was getting significance when I would win or achieve my targets and things like that, really, I didn't feel important at all within that corporate company. I felt like I was very much easily replaced. And that felt not okay. And so I realized that I had very much been striving and pushing. I would say, like, if you give 100% to your role, I would give 150%. Like I was like all in all the time. And I had a day where I had been on the road with another colleague, and this colleague really just went with the flow, hardly worked, literally did like probably half of what I did, if maybe less. And I realized that I was like, hang on, why am I pushing, like busting my gut for this corporate company when I know if I quit tomorrow, because we had lost a couple of people and they'd replace them very quickly without any care, really, they'd just like let people go and just be like, okay, see ya. Like it was almost like no hesitation. And I was like, well, that's gonna happen to me. So why am I here? Why am I giving so much of myself? And that was the people pleasing, the need for approval, the high achiever. And I was giving so much of myself that I realized that hang on a minute, I don't think they even really value what I'm giving here. And so what I did is I did a little test. I was like, for the next couple of months, I'm actually gonna give only 80 or 90%. Instead of 150, I'm just gonna give 80 to 90% and see if people notice. After the first month, no one had noticed a thing. So I was like, huh, I'm gonna drop it down a little more. So then I gave more to my business as I was building up my business, and I just stopped giving as much mental attention. I stopped giving so much care to the role. I still showed up and did my job. I think that's the differentiation. Like no one else noticed because I was still doing my job. I just wasn't going above and beyond. And through that experience, like two, three months in, I was like, no one has still not noticed. Like I'm doing a quarter of what I was previously doing. How is no one noticing? So it's I wasn't hitting targets anymore. Like, isn't that enough for people to be like, hey, something's not right here? But they just didn't care. That was like the next driver for me to be like, it's time to make a change. And that's when I went wholeheartedly into my business and within three months I was out.

SPEAKER_00

Wow, so much that you talked about. I used to be one of the coaches with Bob Proctor. So I know a lot about the external validation and being externally driven. And I love that you're able to identify that because there's a lot of people that aren't realizing we can go so far back in our own history, in our own stories and figure out what is driving things. And so for you to actually say, Listen, I cleared the idea that, you know, I needed the approval from my father. And that I feel like really lifted something from you because you were like, well, wait a second. If I'm doing this and it's basically equating in my brain, in my body, to this. And if I take that away, then why am I doing this? You know, so I love that. It was like an unseen force.

SPEAKER_01

Like I can't even describe it. Very much so, like when I worked on releasing some money mindset blocks as well. Like I remember releasing you have to work hard to earn money, which was again deeply ingrained as a child. It was like an unseen force that drove behaviors that I didn't realize I was doing. And once that belief was no longer an influence, like I said before, it was like I was stepping into a new world. And it was like I had to get used to this new world where that wasn't the driver. And so then I had to then lean back onto what's really important to me. How do I make myself happy? How do I take care of myself? How do I make myself proud? And that became then the driver. And I think that that was like a freedom, like a complete freedom of choice.

SPEAKER_00

That's exactly what I was gonna say is like the freedom of that being like lifted from you, finally recognizing all the things that were tethered to you to kind of make you do all the things that you're doing. So I really love that because I really and truly believe that a lot of people don't know how to disrupt the programs that are being run. So I love that you do that. So tell me a little bit about how hard was it for you to decide as a high-achieving woman, as someone who always performed and got all of the accolades. Like that must have been really hard for you to put the brakes on your performance. Like, were you not tempted in that process of like, but I could truly do this? Like that must have been really difficult for you.

SPEAKER_01

It was. And it was really coming back to like where I was getting my significance from.

SPEAKER_02

Right.

SPEAKER_01

So I recognized, like, okay, I was getting my significance or my needs met, my need for approval, a need for like looking like I'm doing a good job from hitting those targets. And so that was where it was coming from. So I was like, okay, how else can I fulfill that need? And I changed the association and the connection to the behavior. And so what I then did is like, well, I recognized that if I keep giving, like I was actually probably doing two people's jobs versus one. And so I was like giving this corporate company a free ride. Like I mean, think about it, like they had a great employee, but they really weren't valuing them to support that level of output. And so what I recognized was like, if I put all of this output into my business, imagine what I'll be able to achieve. It also really changed the way that I served because I had to work through as well, I must say, like through then that shifting the approval, then there was definitely some people pleasing. So I did need to work through a lot of that because the people pleasing can take you out of alignment so quickly and can cause a lot of burnout. I actually attract quite a lot of clients that are people pleasers, probably because I've been through it and I see it and I attract it. And so like I've learned to like change their behavior, recognize where the people pleasing is showing up and where I'm putting other people above myself. As a coach, it's really hard to be like, okay, I've got to put myself first, my business first. When really we are taught to be like, your client comes first, customer comes first, right? And they do, absolutely, but they shouldn't come first before taking care of you in order for you to be able to be the best version of yourself as that coach. There was a lot of people pleasing that I needed to work through. And I think that what shifted was recognizing that I was giving so much for nothing. And if I give that to my business, there is so much more possibility. And I was able to then rewire that so then I could give my attention to what my business needed. And in those early stages, I must also say there wasn't that dopamine hit that recognition that I would get or the significance that I would get from what I was getting in the corporate company. Because in the early days, you're not hitting big goals. Like you're just literally taking the action and hoping, wishing, and praying that it turns out okay. And so I rewired it to be like, I gave myself a list. I literally wrote down all the things that I thought I would need to do in my business full time and said to myself, if you're willing to do all of these things while still having a nine to five job, then I know that you'll be able to make it in business. So I challenged myself in that way, which is another way that I gave myself significance because I was a driver, right? So I really drove through competition was another way that I got it in corporate role. But then to challenge myself in that way of like proving to myself that I was capable, that was a real challenge as well. So that really helped me then strive for what I wanted to build in my business and give me the space to be able to then walk away because I had given that action to my business. And if I hadn't have done that, I probably wouldn't have believed that I would have been able to run a business successfully.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I feel like because you are a high achiever and you are somebody who has skill set, you have the mindset, you have the heartset. Like I totally probably feel like you would. But I do think that there's a really strong message that you're sending out. And basically it's more like figure out who you are as a person, which most people don't understand who they are, what's driving your story, what's driving you as a person, and then figure out how to flip the script on the way you're performing for people and the way that you want to deliver for yourself. I think that's really what the key is. So tell me about some of the things that you do on a day-to-day basis to keep you grounded in your business.

SPEAKER_01

Anytime I feel like I'm out of alignment, I recognize that I am either not putting my needs first because it's a pattern from the years of high achieving. I recognize that then sometimes I'll drop back into the masculine hustle kind of energy and I'll be pushing through. Anytime that I feel that happening in my business, I'm like, oh, something has to change. You're not in alignment. So if I feel like things are feeling hard, that's usually when I'm out of alignment. And so there's a few different practices that I do on a regular basis to help support me to be in alignment. And then I can talk about myself, but I can also talk about the business side of things too, because I think sometimes we really have that happen as well in the business. So normally, like I will meditate in the morning. That can look like so many different types of meditation. So it really just depends on what I feel like in the morning. There could be some breath work, it could be a manifestation guided meditation, it could be simple body scans, it could be yoga movement, it could be walking on the beach. Like it really just depends on what it is that I'm feeling like I need at the time. I love, love, love nature. So I live by the beach, and so I will do my best to get to the beach each day. There's a few different reasons why that works for me. So one, like when you're walking along the beach with all the grains of sand and with all the waves like crashing, you makes you feel like your problems are much smaller.

SPEAKER_02

Right?

SPEAKER_01

Like I think then you have that abundance of nature. There's an abundant energy there, but it's like a reminder of like, hey, when you get out of your own little world, it's actually beautiful out here and the world just keeps revolving. Like anything that happens in the world, you can go to the beach and nature is like, we're still keeping going. No, the world keeps going on. So meditation is a big one for me. Thought work, I will sit and do regular thought work where I'm activating, recognizing any thoughtful patterns that are showing up for me that could be limiting or it could be causing the feeling of being out of alignment. And then I will do some thought work on that to rewire those. Other times it's doing some form of nervous system work. So if I'm feeling like my nervous system is activated in a way that it is heightened, so I'm in the sympathetic nervous system where I'm breathing really shallow from my chest, and my heart is maybe racing, and I'm in a little bit of fight or flight. That's usually when I'll do some nervous system work to fully ground myself because that's where I realize you can't control your mind when your nervous system is out. And so I do the nervous system work first and then I do my meditation. And that supports me to then get back into alignment. And so it depends on what's been happening of what type of activity I'll put into practice. But there's usually a few there.

SPEAKER_00

Those are good. I mean, like, and it's really beautiful because you understand that you're not just looking at the mind, you're also looking at the body, you're also looking at the nervous system. So it's like the whole individual. So I love that you're working with businesses to do that. So with your clients, you talked about the business a little bit. How do you integrate and teach these types of things to them? I know that you have a whole bunch of tools in your toolkit, but what types of things would you do with them to kind of help them move through their business with a little bit more ease and flow? Oh my gosh, we could be here all day.

SPEAKER_01

There's so many things, and it really just depends on a client because it depends on what they need. Because you could have a list of things and you might say, go do this, but it doesn't resonate with them. And they're like, actually, that doesn't work for me. I like to have like a bunch of different things and we go through a few things and lean into what feels possible. Meditation is usually my go-to for the majority of everyone. I honestly believe that every person should meditate because if you're not in control of your thoughts and if you're responding to your thoughts all the time, reacting to your thoughts all the time, then you're not actually not in control of them at all. And so that really is the foundational piece. And so learning to meditate would be my first place to start for a client. The second part would be learning and recognizing how you want to run your business. Because we're so deeply wired to do the nine to five masculine way of doing business. Whereas I work with a lot of women and so we've got to be conscious of things like our cycle, things like our circadian rhythm. I asked them to really look at their circadian rhythm because there's certain times of the day where you are not your most switched on. And so when I stepped into my business, I tried to do the same model as we've been taught, nine to five. I would get to my desk at 9 a.m. and then I would procrastinate for two and a half hours. My brain would be switched on and then I'd be like into it and being really productive. And so I like to then help my clients to be able to be like, where are you in the scadian rhythm? When is your brain most switched on? When do you have the most energy? And what do you need to give that to? Because there's some areas that you need to be focused in. So it might be client work, it might be your most creative work in your business. Like I know I'm most switched on and creative in the afternoons and evenings. So I'm not going to give that to admin or bookkeeping. That's a waste. Right. So like I need to be conscious of like that's what I'm doing, my visioning for my business. That's where I'm focusing on my goals. That's where I'm being really creative. That's where I'm literally creating and producing things. Knowing that and working with that really helps to support you to step away from the old matrix and be like, hang on, how do I want to run my business? And then it goes even to the days and how you spend your time because we're so wired to do it the way that we've always done it. When you're in your own business, you can do it that actually supports you to not burn out and supports you to actually run a business that brings you joy, lights you up, and keeps you on purpose. So I don't usually work with clients on a Monday. I like to have that as my full CEO day. And I will finish by two o'clock on a Friday. There's no point pushing through and trying to work on a Friday unless I'm inspired. Like if there's something happening and I'm super inspired and I want to, then I will. But other times I just won't. There's other times where I'll work on the weekend because I'm inspired and I actually want to, not from a place of I have to. So that's where I just notice that difference. And I ask my clients just to be like, design it. Design it the way that you want to run your business.

SPEAKER_00

And you know, I love that because I feel like there are so many women that run businesses that think that we have to do more. And so we feel guilty for not working Monday to Friday, nine to five, and we have business hours. And one of the things that I've noticed, even in the work that I do, but also with some of the entrepreneurs that are talking on this podcast, they have these CEO days where they understand that these days are not just for me to build my business, but they're to build me, to really create that self-care day, even though I don't like that term. But it's really all about like, let me honor me on those days. And then the other days, Tuesday to Thursday, that's in honoring the business. And I feel like, you know, when we first spoke and you said, Well, I don't really feel like I've ever had burnout. I believe that's why you haven't, because you have boundaries. They're non-negotiable for you. What inspired you to do that?

SPEAKER_01

I think it was just surrounding myself with other people that do things differently and was like, oh, hang on, maybe I could do things differently. So it was literally learning. My podcast has been a great part of that, actually. Like having different guests on. I always like find that I look for what I need, and then I get them on that podcast and I get to like delve into their zone of genius. And that always just gives me so many new insights. And I think it's also just being surrounded by other successful people and seeing what it is that they do. Because there is definitely a way of like getting caught in the hustle culture. And I'm not saying like I'm not working hard. Like I just want to explain that for people. Like sometimes people go, oh, doing a full CEO day is like you said, like it's a self-care day. It's actually not. I'm super productive on that day and I'm giving the attention to my business in order for me to scale it. Without that time, I would not be able to scale my business because the rest of the week I'm focused on clients and their businesses. I need that time for myself and I need that time for my business to be in alignment with the direction that I'm going. Otherwise, it just wouldn't happen. I think it's a shift of like being conscious of when you're most productive and then not indulging in guilt when you're not. So I even work with my cycle. There's times in the month where I know that I'm not on. I'm not the best person to be on camera right now. But there's other weeks where I am and I am like inspired. Everything's working. Like my head is connected to my mouth and the things are coming out clearly. And I'm sure that you know this.

SPEAKER_00

It's so funny because we literally got on and I'm like, yeah, well, I'm literally in it right now, and the brain fog is real. But one of the things that I do believe is having grace with yourself as a CEO, especially. And so one of the things that I feel like a lot of people that are regulated is that intuitively they know exactly what they need. They don't know how they know it, right? Like I was talking to one of my mentors, and she was like, I didn't even realize that I'm doing it, but I am like, I've created all of these little things in my life to create that space for myself. And I feel like that's really what the difference is between people that are growing successful businesses that are scalable, that are on their terms, and they're creating that new blueprint for success. So let me ask you, as you have created this system for yourself and you're now also creating it for your clients, how are you ensuring that it is a duplicatable process? Because you talked a little bit about learning and then going back into the business and teaching, but they weren't maybe getting it right and all the things. How did you kind of flip the script so that it's duplicatable with what you're doing?

SPEAKER_01

The way that I look at it is understanding the foundations of it, right? So the actions can be different for people, but the foundations never change. I love that. Right. So if you understand the foundations of what helps you stay in alignment versus what pushes you out of alignment, what burns you out and what doesn't burn you out, you start to pay attention. And one of the biggest pieces, the first step is awareness. Like you need to actually be currently aware of those things. And so I know every time I ask a client this of like, what does it feel like to be in alignment? What does it feel like to be in flow? Well, some people do. This is the way that it's described. So, like if you describe, like, you know, when was the last time that you lost track of time because you were so inspired by something that you were just taking action and you were in it and you were in the zone. And the times where things just seemed like they were flowing, like it was just easeful, and you're like, oh, how did that opportunity come about? Like, oh my gosh, like this is happening. Like, think back to a time like that. What supported you to be in that form of alignment? And every single person can always tell me. They were like, Oh, I took time for myself in the morning, or I took some time out into nature on the weekend, and then I came back into my business, just feeling at ease. And I said to myself that I will figure it out every step of the way I'm getting there. So there were elements that they could say for themselves that really worked for them. And I think then there's the awareness of what alignment feels like. And then we go, okay, well, what does out of alignment feel like? When you're in that hustle and you're pushing through and things feel really hard, what causes you to be in that energy? And people will say, I didn't listen to my intuition. I pushed through when I knew I shouldn't. I overworked myself, I didn't sleep well. I basically put everybody else's needs above my own. And then I got to the point of pretty much burnout where I was like, enough is enough. And I was like, cool. How do we prevent that from happening? So we reverse engineer it. And so then we build into like, what is it that you need in order for you to be in alignment more often than not? It's not like we're never gonna be out of alignment, like that's impossible to focus on. But how can we be in alignment majority of the time? And like, what do you need to put in place for yourself in order to support that energy? Some people think it's gonna take a long time, but often it actually doesn't. It just needs to be a small intentional amount of time in order for you to get refocused and then work on your nervous system and work on your mindset so then you can be in alignment with what you're taking action in. And so sometimes it's recognizing from the awareness side of things of like just the shift of like, okay, when I feel like I'm in alignment versus when I'm not in alignment, I'm focused on my ideal client, how I'm serving versus I've got to make money. Yeah. Yeah, noticing even just something like that. And so we work on like the foundational pieces and noticing like nervous system is a big part of that, mindset is a big part of that. And then the vision. Like if they are clear on their strategy and they know what they're taking action on, again, it is much easier. Whereas if they're like overwhelmed, confused, stressed, have no clear direction, if they're pushing from the wrong reasons, like they're pushing just to make money, or they're pushing because they someone else told them they had to, or because they are being driven by goals that don't actually inspire them. And so there's someone else's version of success.

It's so interesting because basically you help them understand which subconscious programs are running their show. And once they understand that, it literally like peels back everything for them and it creates a new blueprint for them. So I would love to know now that you have created this beautiful legacy for yourself and you're teaching other women as well, what's next for you?

SPEAKER_01

I think it's impacting more women. So I'm on a mission here in Australia to help eradicate the tall poppy syndrome. It's a really big limiter for a lot of Aussies and a lot of New Zealanders. And it doesn't exist in America, which is always so fascinating. It's why I like to spend more time in America and Canada, because it just doesn't impact them as much. And so I am working on a big event. So I ran my first big event last year called Unstoppable Women. And so this will be an annual event that I run every year. The whole intention around it is to create a safe space for people to feel ambitious and who unapologetically want to go after their dreams and where their success is celebrated and not torn down. Because here in Australia with Tall Poppy syndrome, there's this underlying belief system that it's not safe for you to succeed. And so when you start succeeding, it's like you step outside from the crowd and then people will start tearing you down and it's consistent. Like it happens here a lot where any successful person, it's like we don't celebratize the way that Americans do. And so there's this energy of like even people who are very talented, they're ridiculed and they're pulled down to then come back down to where we belong, where we're the battlers. And so the battlers are the ones that are celebrated. And so when you're not battling, when you're doing well, right, it's the complete opposite. People don't like that. And so then they tear people down. And so I'm wanting to really eradicate that because it really is very limiting for Aussies. And there is also a big part of that with business. So as a business owner, you obviously have to put yourself out there and you obviously have to share with people why you are talented and what you can help people with. One of the things I love about Americans is that they will tell you what they've achieved, what they've succeeded at, what they're really good at. And not from a place of being boastful, which is what Aussies deem it to be, like they judge it to be boastful. I don't look at it as boastful. I look at it as extremely helpful. It helps me understand what questions I can ask that person or how I could feel connected to that person. But because Aussie's deeply wired with the tall poppy syndrome, it causes us to respond in that way of like feeling like we're not going to be supported or we're going to be torn down if we succeed. And so subconsciously, we've got this ripcord that just keeps pulling us down. And so that's my whole goal is to really impact more women and to help them see that limiting belief system that's showing up for them and create safe spaces for people to feel like they can succeed and be celebrated for it rather than torn down.

SPEAKER_00

Wow. That is such a beautiful mission. Not only to give back to your community, but also I do feel like it does resonate with many different communities as well. Even in Canada and America. I mean, I do feel that, but probably overall it's not as prevalent. Tell people how they can get in touch with you, to work with you, and then where they can find you.

SPEAKER_01

So I spend most of my time on Instagram. You can find me there at Christine Corcorit underscore coach. I'm on all the other platforms as well. I'm on Threads, I'm on LinkedIn, I'm on TikTok, I'm on Facebook, like I'm everywhere. You find me, it's the same. And my website is my name.com.au for Australia. And you can reach out to me, send me a DM, and let me know what you took away from this episode. I'd love to hear that you listen to it and take away.

SPEAKER_00

We're so grateful that you came today. And I know that you are helping so many women break down these barriers that are keeping them tethered away from the success that they deserve. And so I really want to thank you for being a part of today and sharing some insights and tips and some knowledge of how people can break those ceilings and be that unstoppable woman. So thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me.
