Hey đ , Iâm Janine Esbrand, corporate lawyer turned career strategist and executive coach.
For years, I had my eye on the corporate partner title. I kept my head down, worked the long hours, and chased the next big deal because thatâs what success was supposed to look like.
Then I became a mother. And I realised I didnât want to build a life around my career, I wanted to build a career around my life. So, I stepped off the default corporate path and designed a portfolio career that allows me to work on my terms, create meaningful impact, and show up fully, both professionally and personally.
Now, I help ambitious mid-career women do the same: gain clarity, challenge the default ladder, and design aligned, sustainable careers that reflect who they are now, not who they used to be.
This podcast will give you the strategy, mindset and tools to make it happen.
So grab your notebook, pour your hot drink of choice and lets design whatâs next.

306 I Closing the Gap Between Goal Setting and Actually Achieving
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
đď¸ Episode Overview
If youâre great at setting career goals but struggle to actually achieve them, this episode is for you. As we reach the end of January and motivation starts to dip, I wanted to have a real conversation about why so many people get stuck between intention and execution, and how you can close that gap.
In this episode, I break down the real reasons goals stall. I talk about the danger of taking action without structure, how too much external noise leads to confusion, and why misdiagnosing the problem can keep you spinning your wheels.
What Youâll Learn in This Episode
- Why setting the goal is often the easy part and what usually gets in the way after that
- How lack of structure and too many opinions can lead to confusion, inaction, and burnout
- Why doing more isnât always the answer and how to approach things instead
Action Steps
- Pause and audit what youâre doing: Look at your actions and ask yourself what the data is telling you about whatâs working and what isnât.
- Identify the real bottleneck: If youâre not getting results, figure out where things are breaking down instead of trying to do everything at once.
- Create intentional structure: Start with the end in mind and work backwards to define the right steps, in the right order for you.
