From playing small in her corporate days to realizing she's built a "penitentiary" of perfectionism as an entrepreneur, she gets honest about the fear, people-pleasing, and perfectionism that have kept her hiding. As she turns 39 — on Episode 139, no less — Kimberly declares this her year of facing her fears out loud, and she's inviting listeners along for the journey through her brand-new Substack, Fear Means Go.

She also breaks down how public speaking took Career Contessa from a blog to a nationally recognized brand — starting with free intern workshops, landing a book deal, and eventually speaking at TEDWomen — and why companies wouldn't pay for her tactical workshops but happily paid for her keynotes.

| 125. The Unglamorous Truth About Reaching Your Biggest Goals | 25 mars 2026 | 00:09:04 | |
What if the reason you haven't hit your biggest goal isn't a missing strategy — it's a missing belief? In this episode, Kimberly is getting honest about the mindset trap that keeps even the most talented professionals and entrepreneurs stuck: the constant search for a better plan. Spoiler: the plan isn't the problem. The reps are. Kimberly breaks down why success is far less glamorous than we've been conditioned to believe, and why the "missing link" most high achievers are searching for isn't a new tactic — it's the willingness to keep doing what already works, consistently, even when the results feel slow. This one is short, direct, and exactly what you need to hear today. What You'll Learn:

| 124. Is Coaching Worth It? What High-Performing Leaders Know About Getting Results | 18 mars 2026 | 00:16:01 | |
If you've ever wondered whether coaching is actually worth the investment — this episode is your answer. In episode 124, Kimberly breaks down why the most high-performing senior managers, directors, VPs, and executives don't wait until something is broken to seek out coaching. Drawing from her own experience in coaching relationships since 2013, Kimberly makes the case that coaching isn't a rescue plan — it's a growth strategy. She walks through the three core ways coaching creates real transformation: breaking through skill-based roadblocks, shifting limiting mindsets, and getting tactical strategy tailored specifically to you. She also unpacks the difference between 1:1 and group coaching, and how to know which format is the right fit for where you are right now. But this episode goes beyond the why — Kimberly also gets into the how. Because investing in coaching is only half the equation. Getting your money's worth requires intention, honesty, and showing up ready to do the work. In this episode, you'll learn:

| 123. From Stuck to Clear: How a Vision Coach Helps High Achievers Find Their Next Chapter with Lois Weinblatt | 11 mars 2026 | 00:46:03 | |
In this episode, Kimberly sits down with Lois Weinblatt — vision coach and founder of True North Visionaries — for a conversation that goes far beyond the trendy advice to "write down your goals." Lois breaks down the real work of visioning: what it actually takes to get clear on your next chapter when you're a high-achieving professional who's been grinding without a real direction, and why trying to do it alone is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck. Lois has taken herself — and hundreds of clients — through a structured visioning process that starts not with the future, but with an honest look at the past. Her approach challenges the idea that visioning is fluffy or abstract. Instead, she treats a vision as your definition of success at a specific point in the future, and she walks clients through a 13-week process (or an intensive three-day immersive in Madrid) to get there. Whether you've never built a vision or you wrote one years ago and have no idea where it went, this conversation will shift how you think about clarity, direction, and what it means to truly move intentionally in your career and your life. In this episode, you'll learn:
About Lois Weinblatt: Lois Weinblatt is a vision coach and the founder of True North Visionaries. She works with capable, motivated, self-aware professionals who are on the cusp of their next chapter and need help getting out of their heads and into clarity. Her structured visioning process helps clients move from swirling thoughts and competing options to a clear, grounded vision for their personal, professional, financial, relational, and spiritual lives.

| 121. The Win I Didn't Know I Needed: A Mindset Shift and the Permission to Celebrate Your Wins | 25 févr. 2026 | 00:16:31 | |
In this episode, Kimberly gets into her mindset behind her recent program launch— and the results exceeded every goal she set. But this episode isn't really about the numbers. It's about what the numbers revealed: a story Kimberly had been quietly carrying since 2018 that she never said out loud, not to her clients, not to her audience, barely even to herself. For years, she had internalized a belief that she could get results for others, but that building a group program and a community wasn't something she could pull off. This launch is what finally dismantled that story. Kimberly walks you through the CTFAR model — a self-coaching framework she worked on daily during the launch — and breaks down how her thoughts were directly creating her results. If you've ever quietly talked yourself out of a win before it even happened — this episode is for you. Ready to build your speaking platform?

| 120: You Don't Need to Be an Expert: How 'Regular People' Can Become Powerful Public Speakers | 18 févr. 2026 | 00:10:48 | |
Think you need a dramatic backstory or impressive credentials to become a powerful speaker? Think again. In this episode, Kimberly is dismantling the biggest myth that keeps talented professionals off stages: the idea that you have to be some kind of recognized expert to share your message. The truth is, some of the most impactful speakers are everyday professionals—project managers, consultants, team leads—who teach practical frameworks from real-world experience. In this episode, you'll learn:
Key insight: Educational content consistently outperforms purely motivational content, and audiences learn more from speakers who feel like accessible guides rather than unreachable celebrities.

| 119. How I Built a Multi-Six-Figure Business By Learning to Speak: My Journey from Behind-the-Scenes to Center Stage | 11 févr. 2026 | 00:19:46 | |
In this deeply personal episode, Kimberly pulls back the curtain on her journey from a career counselor making under $50,000 a year to building a multi-six-figure business that's maintained that level for five consecutive years. The vehicle that made it all possible? Speaking. Not keynote speaking at first—but strategic visibility through professional associations, conferences, and leveraging every speaking opportunity to build relationships and open doors. But here's what makes this story different: Kimberly wasn't a "natural speaker." She didn't have a dramatic transformation story or overcome massive tragedy. She was someone who loved working behind the scenes in higher education and corporate HR—until a promotion conversation that felt like a slap in the face changed her entire strategy. In this episode, she shares the real progression: from her first terrified speaking engagement (with a coworker by her side for moral support) to commanding a multi-five-figure keynote fee, and why "teaching her behind off" on stage is exactly what grew her business even when coaches told her not to give so much away.

| 117. Virtual Stage Presence: How to Command Attention When Speaking Online | 28 janv. 2026 | 00:18:05 | |
REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar In this episode, Kimberly tackles the reality that most professionals aren't prepared for: virtual speaking is now the norm, not the exception. With 86% of job interviews conducted virtually and 90% of hiring managers expecting remote presentations to continue, your ability to command attention through a screen is just as important as your ability to command a room. But here's the problem: most people treat virtual speaking like it's easier than in-person speaking. They assume they can wing it because they're in their own space with notes in front of them. The truth? Virtual speaking is a completely different skill set—and if you're using in-person strategies in a virtual environment, you're setting yourself up to fail. In this episode, Kimberly breaks down exactly why virtual speaking feels harder (spoiler: you're not imagining it) and gives you five specific strategies to dramatically improve your virtual stage presence.

REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar In this episode, Kimberly breaks down seven unexpected benefits that came from developing her public speaking skills—and she's not talking about the obvious stuff like "getting less nervous during presentations."

This isn't theory. Kimberly shares real numbers, real stories, and real research to show you exactly how public speaking skills translate into career opportunities, income growth, and a version of yourself you didn't know was possible.

REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar In this episode, Kimberly introduces the 5 Types of Speakers framework—a game-changing lens for identifying your natural speaking style instead of trying to copy someone else's.

This framework isn't about putting you in a box—it's about giving you permission to stop comparing yourself to speakers who operate in a completely different lane. Kimberly shows you how to lean into YOUR strengths. Most powerful speakers are actually a blend of types, and understanding yours is the first step to building authentic visibility.

| 114. How to Overcome Your Fear of Public Speaking in 12 Weeks (Even If You're Not a "Natural") | 07 janv. 2026 | 00:17:38 | |
REGISTER FOR MY UPCOMING TRAINING: "Build Your Professional Brand Through Public Speaking" webinar on February 4, 2025: kimberlybonline.com/webinar In this episode, Kimberly tackles the fear that holds 75% of people back from career-defining opportunities: public speaking. She breaks down exactly how to overcome this fear in 12 weeks—not by becoming a "natural" speaker, but by proving to yourself, day after day, that you can speak without dying. This isn't about perfection or transforming into someone you're not. It's about daily practice in everyday moments—opening meetings, giving toasts, asking questions—until speaking becomes something you seek out instead of avoid. Kimberly shares the research-backed habit formation timeline, the Ralph Smedley approach to learning by doing, and why the most powerful realization isn't that fear disappears, but that you can act despite it.
