***Top 1.5% Global Careers Podcast For Corporate Women***
Are you navigating a mid-career transition and wondering what’s next?

Do you feel the tension between wanting more freedom and not wanting to sacrifice security?
If you’re ambitious but no longer willing to burn out for another promotion, you’re in the right place. I’m glad you’re here.
This podcast helps high-achieving mid-career women gain career clarity and confidently design their next chapter, whether that means evolving inside corporate, exploring a portfolio career, or building a hybrid path.
If you’re ready to stop default climbing and start making strategic, aligned decisions about your future, this podcast will give you the insight and tools to move forward with confidence.
Hey 👋 , I’m 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 that’s what success was supposed to look like.
Then I became a mother. And I realised I didn’t 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 what’s next.

312 I Why Your Default Thinking Is Limiting Your Career Opportunities
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Feel like you’ve been spending months trying to figure out your next career move, but haven’t actually made any progress?
Are you frustrated by the gap between knowing you want a change and actually taking the steps to make it happen?
Do you worry that you’re "too old," "not experienced enough," or that a move might sacrifice your financial security?
In this episode, I’m sharing why strategy might not be your problem and why your default thinking is the issue. Many professionals stay stuck on the "career couch" because of unconscious "background code" that limits what they believe is possible and therefore holds them back from career opportunities.
Using my own journey to the TEDx stage as a roadmap, I’m digging into the cognitive psychology model that you can use to increase your career opportunities and thrive.
You’ll learn:
How to identify the thoughts that are holding you back
How to rewrite your mental scripts
How to ditch procrastination and start redesigning your career.
