There comes a moment in life…
when what once defined you… no longer feels like home.
In this deeply powerful episode of The Corporate Escapists Podcast, Christine sits down with Jodi—a former obstetric doctor turned assistance and therapy dog trainer and animal-assisted therapist—to explore what it truly means to rebuild your life around your values.
After being diagnosed with PTSD in 2014, Jodi made the courageous decision to step away from a career she once loved… and begin again.
Not from pressure.
Not from expectation.
But from alignment.
This conversation is a reminder that your roles may change… but your values are the compass that guides you home.
Inside this episode, we explore:
✨ What happens when your career no longer aligns with who you are
✨ How to navigate identity shifts during major life transitions
✨ The power of defining yourself by your values—not your job title
✨ Healing from burnout, PTSD, and the pressure to “keep going.”
✨ How one person believing in you can change everything
✨ Redefining happiness as peace, alignment, and self-trust
✨ The connection between animal-assisted therapy and building self-efficacy
Jodi also shares her deeply personal journey—from overcoming low self-worth and “pathological giving”… to creating a life and business rooted in purpose, healing, and contribution.
This episode is for the woman who feels the pull for something more…
even if she can’t quite explain it yet.
Because you’re not here to stay in roles that drain you.
You’re here to build a life that reflects who you truly are.
Be seen. Be heard. Be valued.
About your host, Christine
Transition and Lifestyle Coach, Host of The Corporate Escapists TV Show & Podcast, Speaker & Educator. In a past life, I was a corporate queen, earning the big bucks & working my way up that ladder. From the outside, I had it all, but I felt completely dead inside. It wasn’t until I hit rock bottom that I really discovered what was missing from my life. I realised I had no idea who I was.
What lit me up. What was setting my soul on fire? What was my passion in life? But after years of doing the inner work, I have rebuilt my life and now I want to help you do the same.
