Listen "#46 - When My Body Said ‘No’: The Breakdown That Rewired Everything"
Episode Synopsis
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:The identity crisis that hit after I built something successfulHow childhood conditioning around productivity shaped meWhy I paused Engagement Academy and how I’m reshaping itA cold plunge, a linen closet, and one surprising meditationThe moment I met 8-year-old me in my mind’s eye — and what she saidHow divorce, loss, and no-contact family choices reshaped my valuesWhy we can’t talk about leadership without talking about healingAnd why I’m done pretending life and work are separate📘 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.
