Discover how Christine moved from a 20-year radio career into coaching. A heartfelt journey of trust, reinvention, and finding purpose through her own voice. What happens when you walk away from a 20–year radio career… and trust that your voice will carry you into your next chapter? In this episode, I sit down with an expert authority coach who went from broadcast journalism and fundraising, to side-hustle coach, to full-time business owner living in another country – with nothing but a suitcase, her mic, her laptop, and a lot of faith. She shares how coaching began “on the side,” what it was really like to do two jobs for years, and the moment a one-way flight during COVID changed everything. We talk about the quiet confidence that grows when you back yourself, even when the path makes zero logical sense on paper. If you’ve ever felt the pull to leave a safe career for something more aligned, this conversation will feel like a permission slip. 👉WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER How a childhood desire to teach evolved into a 20–year radio career The moment she realised she didn’t have to write a 700-page book to be an “author” How she turned her own talks and workshops into books using simple tools What it’s really like to work full-time and build a coaching business on the side The phone call that led to a last-minute flight, a packed suitcase, and a completely new life in Australia Why she knew she would “land on her feet” as long as she had her mic, her brain, and her laptop The role TikTok and the creator economy played in her next chapter Why authenticity now matters more than polish, credentials, or “perfect” branding Her favourite mindset reframe for anyone afraid to take the leap 👉WHO THIS IS FOR You’ve spent years in one career but feel the pull toward coaching or online work You’re running your business “on the side” and wondering when (or how) to go full time You feel scared to leave stability, even though your soul is clearly nudging you You’ve dreamt of writing a book but feel blocked by perfectionism or “I’m not a writer” stories You love the idea of using your voice – podcasting, speaking, content – to build your next chapter You’re craving real stories of courage, not overnight-success marketing 👉CHAPTER TIMELINE 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:42 Becoming an Expert Authority 01:58 The Power of Writing and Publishing 03:47 Using AI and Tools for Content Creation 20:55 The Evolution of Media Consumption 23:08 Journey to Becoming a Coach 26:32 Balancing Two Jobs 27:31 Impact of COVID on Career 29:02 Mindset Shifts and Confidence 35:18 Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs 👉CONNECT WITH CHRISTINE BLOSDALE Christine Blosdale, The Expert Authority Coach™, is a five-time #1 bestselling author, award-winning broadcaster, and host of The Expert Authority Coach Podcast.
