You’re not broken, your nervous system is just exhausted.

In this solo episode, Christina opens up about what really happens after you leave a high-stress career and why the “freedom” of stepping away doesn’t always bring the instant relief we hope for. If you’ve been stuck in procrastination, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or feeling numb, this episode is a must-listen.

Christina takes you behind the scenes of her own transition out of corporate life and into entrepreneurship and what surfaced once the urgency and constant noise disappeared. She explores how years of operating in fight-or-flight mode conditioned her nervous system, and how that dysregulation can sneak into our focus, confidence, and self-worth even after we “make the leap.”

You’ll learn how nervous system regulation, shadow work, and compassionate self-awareness can radically shift how you show up, not just at work, but in life. Christina shares how recognising the signs of nervous system burnout has changed everything, and how this understanding is now a core part of the work she does with clients.

This episode is your permission slip to slow down, listen in, and meet yourself with grace, because healing doesn’t start with hustle. It starts with noticing.

In this solo episode of Her Career Coach, Christina Storey invites listeners to tune into the quiet, persistent whisper that so many women hear but often ignore, the one that says, “You were made for more.” Building on the last episode, Christina goes deeper into the personal moment when everything begins to feel off, and how that moment can actually be the spark for profound transformation.

Christina reflects on her own career journey, from surviving a toxic job to rediscovering her purpose to creating Her Career Coach. She explores the idea that this whisper isn’t something to be feared or silenced; it’s your future self asking you to listen, trust, and act. Whether you’re at a career crossroads or simply craving more alignment in your life and work, this episode offers the encouragement you need to stop pushing that inner voice aside and start moving forward.

In this heartfelt and reflective solo episode, Christina Storey invites you to sit with her on a special day - her 53rd birthday - for a raw and honest conversation about growth, identity, and who we’re becoming as women.

This one breaks away from the usual focus on goals and strategy. Instead, Christina opens up about the subtle, yet powerful identity shifts she’s experienced across each decade of her life.

Am I allowed to want more?” Christina’s reflections serve as both a mirror and a map, helping you consider your own evolution. Whether you’re in a season of questioning, a messy middle, or just starting to listen to that quiet voice nudging you toward more, this episode is here to remind you that it’s okay not to have it all figured out.

In this powerful episode of Her Career Coach, Christina Storey takes us on a journey toward meeting our future selves—a version of us who’s thriving, resilient, and unapologetically authentic. Christina introduces the concepts of future self-visualisation and journaling, two practices that can reshape how we approach our daily lives and long-term goals. Through visualisation, she guides us to imagine this future version in vivid detail: her habits, environment, relationships, and approach to challenges. This “future self” isn’t just a distant dream; she’s already within reach, and every small, intentional choice brings her closer to reality. 

Christina explains how these practices create a conscious awareness of our habits and behaviours, helping us shift from subconscious autopilot to purposeful actions. By dedicating just a few minutes each day to visualising or journaling, listeners can align more deeply with their values and make choices that resonate with the person they aspire to be.

What if your career looked perfect on paper but felt completely wrong on the inside? 

 In this episode of the Her Career Coach Podcast, Christina redefines what career coaching for women really looks like. She shares what’s been missing in traditional career coaching and introduces her new framework: Her Career Journey - a model built around four key phases every woman moves through in her career.

After coaching hundreds of women through career change, mindset blocks, and leadership evolution, Christina has seen firsthand why surface-level strategies like tweaking your resume or practising interview answers aren’t enough. True transformation happens when you shift what’s going on beneath the surface so that you can move from stuck and self-doubting to confident and self-led.

Christina walks you through each phase of Her Career Journey - Her Crossroads, Her Move, Her Evolution, and Becoming Her - so you can identify where you are right now and what kind of support will help you move forward. Whether you're questioning your path, ready to pivot, navigating imposter syndrome, or stepping fully into your power, this framework is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Thinking of quitting and making a bold career move… but unsure how to carve a path that’s both strategic and meaningful? This episode will show you how to do exactly that.

In this candid conversation, Christina is joined by her long-time friend and respected people leader, Beck Chapman, who’s no stranger to brave career pivots. With over 20 years of experience in HR, learning and organisational development, Beck shares how she’s navigated major transitions across industries (from banking to FMCG to global leadership at Philip Morris International) while staying grounded in her values.

Together, Christina and Beck unpack what it really takes to make intentional career shifts, especially when they come with risk, rejection, or that creeping voice of self-doubt. Beck opens up about her own crossroads moments and the mindset work required to navigate uncertainty, redefine success, and stay aligned with what matters most. 

They also dig into the evolving expectations of leadership post-COVID, how empathy and vulnerability have become critical leadership traits, and why your values, not your job title, should lead your career decisions.

If you're questioning whether to stay, pivot, or start over, this one’s for you. Because life is too precious not to love what you do.

Christina unpacks the myths around automation and fear-based media headlines, offering instead a grounded, empowering perspective. She breaks down how she’s using AI tools to streamline the “ugh” work so she (and her clients) can focus on what really matters.

Whether it’s sitting down with a mic or opening a new tool that intimidates you, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to take your next brave step, however messy it may be.

In this solo episode, Christina explores a powerful and timely conversation for women feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure whether to stay in their current role. With mid-year pressure mounting and burnout knocking on the door, many women are caught between waiting for their annual bonus and making a much-needed change. But what’s the real cost of staying?

Christina unpacks the emotional and energetic toll that “waiting it out” can take from eroding confidence and self-worth to impacting mental clarity and relationships. Through a powerful client story, she illustrates how chasing a financial milestone can sometimes delay the healing and clarity needed to move forward with intention.

You’ll walk away with key reflective questions and journal prompts that help you assess your current energy, understand your motivations, and determine whether your reasons for staying are rooted in strategy or fear. Whether you're debating a big move or just need clarity, this episode will help you tune in to your inner wisdom and give you permission to choose what’s right for you.
