| #46 - When My Body Said ‘No’: The Breakdown That Rewired Everything | 22 Apr 2025 | 00:16:48 | |
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:
📘 Mentioned in this episode: 👉 Employee Survey Playbook ($49): https://bit.ly/42yQt9T 👉 LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/42yQt9T 👉 Youtube: https://bit.ly/4lHZJ2E 👉 TikTok: https://bit.ly/3YGgS2W 👉 Instagram: https://bit.ly/4jBMe2E 💬 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. | |||
