The Career Change Maker Podcast | Career Clarity & Career Pivots for Mid-Career Women
For high-achieving women rethinking their careers and navigating career change.
***Top 1.5% Global Career Change Podcast***
If you’ve worked hard to build a successful career but find yourself questioning whether it still fits, you’re not alone (and you’re not wrong for wanting more).
I’m Janine Esbrand, a former corporate lawyer turned Career Pivot Coach, and I created The Career Change Maker Podcast for high-achieving women who feel stuck, bored, or quietly misaligned in careers that no longer fit.
Through my own career pivots and my work coaching hundreds of women through intentional career change and career transitions, I’ve seen what it really takes to step off the default path and make thoughtful, strategic moves without starting over.
Each episode offers honest insights, practical guidance, and grounded encouragement to help you gain career clarity, trust yourself, and move forward with confidence into your next chapter.
This podcast is for you if you want permission to change, clarity on what’s next, and a clear way forward that honours your experience.

#94 - Why You Don't Need More Experience To Land Your Dream Role
One of the biggest perceived challenges related to making a career change is feeling that you have enough experience for the field or role that you want to move into.
If you have been in your current role for a long time, it is super important for you to understand how you can leverage your existing experience to attract new, ideal opportunities.
In this episode you will learn:
- What you say is holding you back (lack of experience) is often not the real reason you haven't made your desired career change
- Why having the right job search strategies isn't enough to get you to where you want to be.
- How the life cycle of a caterpillar provides amazing insight into the career transition challenges you are facing (and how to overcome them)
- What helped me go from saying "One day I will do a TEDx stage to actually becoming a TEDx speaker last year"
