Are you navigating a mid-career transition and wondering what’s next?

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.

333 l Stop Sitting On Your Experience, Make It Start Working For You
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When you reflect on key milestones in your life and career, do you only focus on the achievement itself, or do you talk about who you became while reaching it?
Most ambitious women are sitting on years of rich, transformative experience that is working far less than it could simply because they haven't learned how to articulate its true depth and impact.
In this episode of the Career Change Maker Podcast, I share three pivotal milestones from my own journey to demonstrate how shifting your perspective on your past achievements can transform how others view your expertise. If you want your experience to start working for you instead of constantly feeling like you have to chase new markers, this episode will show you how to pull out the hidden gems in your story.
