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.

318 | How To Avoid Being Blindsided By Redundancies Or Layoffs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are you feeling anxious about your career as the economic landscape shifts beneath your feet?
Do you find yourself wondering whether you're doing enough to protect the career you've worked so hard to build?
Are you curious about what it actually looks like to take back control of your professional future - without waiting for someone else to hand it to you?
In this episode, I share exactly how to build your career safety net in uncertain times. I explore why self-awareness is your most underrated professional asset, how to diversify both your income and your impact, and why taking small, strategic steps right now matters far more than waiting for the perfect moment.
Economic uncertainty has a way of making us feel reactive - like things are happening to us rather than for us. But the truth is, you have more agency than you think. When you get clear on what you truly want, seek the right support, and start moving - even incrementally - everything begins to shift. You don't have to wait for a crisis to start building something more secure.
What you'll learn:
• Clarity before action: How to identify what you truly want from your career and pinpoint the gaps standing between you and it.
• The power of the right support - why seeking out a coach or mentor and doing your due diligence to find the right one can be a career-changing decision.
• The best way to start taking action - practical strategies to expand your professional reach beyond your current role, without burning everything down to do it.
"You are the CEO of your career. Don't wait for someone else to build your safety net — build it yourself."
