If you’re ambitious but no longer willing to burn out for another promotion, you’re in the right place. I’m glad you’re here.
This podcast helps high-achieving mid-career women gain career clarity and confidently design their next chapter, whether that means evolving inside corporate, exploring a portfolio career, or building a hybrid path.
If you’re ready to stop default climbing and start making strategic, aligned decisions about your future, this podcast will give you the insight and tools to move forward with confidence.
Hey 👋 , I’m Janine Esbrand, corporate lawyer turned career strategist and executive coach.
For years, I had my eye on the corporate partner title. I kept my head down, worked the long hours, and chased the next big deal because that’s what success was supposed to look like.
Then I became a mother. And I realised I didn’t want to build a life around my career, I wanted to build a career around my life. So, I stepped off the default corporate path and designed a portfolio career that allows me to work on my terms, create meaningful impact, and show up fully, both professionally and personally.
Now, I help ambitious mid-career women do the same: gain clarity, challenge the default ladder, and design aligned, sustainable careers that reflect who they are now, not who they used to be.
This podcast will give you the strategy, mindset and tools to make it happen.
So grab your notebook, pour your hot drink of choice and lets design what’s next.

315 | 3 Ways To Stay Motivated When Your Corporate Job Is Draining You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you struggling to stay motivated when your corporate job is leaving you feeling drained and depleted?
Do you find yourself wondering whether the problem is your job — or whether you've simply lost your sense of purpose?
Are you looking for practical ways to reconnect with your motivation without throwing everything away and starting over?
In this episode, I share three powerful strategies to help mid-career women stay motivated, even when their corporate role feels misaligned or exhausting. I dive into why staying motivated isn't just about loving every moment of your job, but about reconnecting with what drives you at a deeper level.
I explore the importance of anchoring back to your personal why, shifting your focus from what you're losing to what you're gaining, and expanding your impact beyond your day-to-day role, so you can stay motivated and build momentum no matter what season of your career you're in.
What You'll Learn:
- Reconnect With Your Why: How identifying and revisiting your personal purpose can instantly reframe your work experience and help you stay motivated through the tough seasons.
- Shift From Losses to Gains: Practical ways to refocus your attention on the skills, perspectives, and growth you're accumulating - even in a challenging environment.
- Expand Your Impact: How pursuing side projects, volunteering, and activities outside your role can reignite your motivation and sense of fulfilment.
- The Wheel of Life: Why taking a holistic view of your life balance is key to measuring fulfilment and staying motivated across all areas - not just your career.
"Reconnecting with your why is one of the fastest ways to stay motivated, even when the day-to-day feels hard."
