You are good at your job. You have the title, the salary, and the LinkedIn profile to prove it. And you are miserable. Not because you are weak. Not because you are ungrateful. But because God did not wire you to spend the best hours of your life building someone else's dream. You feel it every Sunday night. That pit in your stomach. That quiet voice that keeps whispering — this is not it. That voice is not anxiety. That is your calling. Welcome to Stuck in Corporate? — the only podcast built around the God-led corporate exit strategy for Christian women who are done choosing a paycheck over their calling. I am Holly Powell — Corporate Exit Strategist, faith-led coach, and the woman who walked away from a 20-year career on nothing but obedience and a plan. I did not wait until it made sense. I moved when God said move. And I have never looked back. This is not a podcast about hustle. It is not about building a six-figure business overnight. It is about something far more important — getting your life back. Every week I will give you the real plan, the hard truth, and the holy boldness you need to walk out of that building on your terms — with your faith leading, your family intact, and your calling finally in front of you. If you are a Christian woman who knows she is meant for more — this is your next step. Let's get you unstuck. 🌐 www.stuckincorporate.com 📩 holly@stuckincorporate.com 🖇️Follow me on LinkedIn

Calendly HERE: https://calendly.com/holly-stuckincorporate/coaching-call-booking Your business is calling. But you keep letting corporate answer. In this episode, I'm taking you into one of the most overlooked stories in the Bible — the story of Rahab. An outsider. Unqualified by every standard. And yet she made the most courageous decision of her life before she had a single guarantee it would work out. She hung a scarlet thread from her window. And that thread? That was her exit date. If you're a woman ready to make a career change but you still don't have a date on the calendar — this episode is going to change that. Because a decision without a date is just a dream. And your purpose-driven career has been waiting on YOU long enough. Inside this episode, you'll discover: ✦ Why Rahab's story is the most powerful blueprint for leaving corporate with courage ✦ How to acknowledge what you're walking away from — without letting it stop you ✦ The difference between a wish and a decision (this one will convict you) ✦ Why waiting until you feel ready is exactly what's keeping your business on hold ✦ How career burnout might be the very signal God is using to move you forward ✦ How to set your corporate exit date and finally hang YOUR scarlet thread ✦ The ONE action step that separates career change women who leave from those who don't ✦ How to make your faith career transition with courage before you feel ready Scriptures Referenced (NLT): Joshua 2:12-13 // Isaiah 43:19 // Proverbs 3:5-6 // Habakkuk 2:2-3 // Jeremiah 29:11 Your homework from this episode: Write down your exit date.

    45:"Who Am I Without My Title?" Leave Corporate, Become Your Future Self

    👉 Ready to walk away from your corporate title and finally step into the woman God called you to be? Let's build your exit plan together. Send me an email at holly@stuckincorporate.com 🎙️ Welcome to Stuck in Corporate — The Faith Fueled Exit with Holly Powell Your title is not your identity. In a corporate world obsessed with climbing higher, earning more, and collecting fancier titles at the end of your name... your sense of self quietly gets buried underneath it all. If you are a Christian woman who has poured everything into your corporate career — and somewhere along the way stopped knowing who you are outside of it — this episode is for you. Because here is what nobody tells you when you decide to leave: The hardest part of leaving corporate is not the money. It is not the benefits. It is not even the fear. It is the identity crisis waiting for you on the other side. If you have ever tied your worth to your job title — this episode is for you. If corporate burnout has left you wondering who you even are anymore — this episode is for you. If you are ready for personal growth that goes deeper than a promotion or a pay raise — this episode is especially for you. In today's episode you will discover: → Why high-achieving women lose themselves inside corporate culture — and never see it coming → How your career transition can feel like a complete identity breakdown (and why that is actually God's plan) → The Air Force Basic Training secret that explains exactly why your breaking down is building you up → What setting boundaries with your corporate identity actually looks like in real life → How to rebuild your identity as a Kingdom Entrepreneur — starting with your daily routine → Why entrepreneurial mindset is the missing piece between where you are and where God is calling you Here is what I know for sure: The woman God created you to be is not the woman in the corner office. She is not the title on your business card. She is not the salary in your bank account. She is the woman who said YES to her calling — even when it was terrifying. Even when she did not know how. Even when she had to be broken down first. That is the woman this episode is for. And that is the woman you already are. 🔗 WORK WITH HOLLY: Ready to build your God-led corporate exit plan?

    44: Is Perfectionism Stopping You From Building Your Business?

    👉 Ready to stop letting perfectionism steal the business God called you to build? Let's talk. Send me an email at holly@stuckincorporate.com Because here's the truth friend... You have been getting ready to get ready. You told yourself you would launch when the website was done. When the niche was clear. When you felt more confident. When you had more money saved. When the kids were older. When the timing was right. And here you are. Still in corporate. Still giving your best hours to someone else's dream. Still waiting for a green light that is never coming. Sound familiar? That is exactly what we are breaking today. If perfectionism has been keeping you from building the coaching or consulting business you know you are called to build — this episode is for you. If you are the primary breadwinner and the financial weight of your household has you paralyzed — this episode is for you. If you are a Christian woman who has been living a double life — corporate professional by day, quietly building your dream on every stolen hour you can find — friend, this episode is especially for you. Inside I break down: 🖤 Why perfectionism is not a personality trait — it is procrastination wearing a productivity mask 🖤 The four excuses keeping you from building your business — and why every single one of them is fear in disguise 🖤 Why your twenty years of corporate experience has more merit than any course certificate on your wall 🖤 The double life nobody talks about — building in secret, scared your company finds out, carrying it completely alone 🖤 Why playing small is not caution — it is a sin — and what God is actually asking you to trust Him with Because here is what I know to be true... Your company has been monetizing your expertise for years. It is time for you to monetize it for yourself. You do not need a perfect niche. You do not need a finished website. You do not need one more course. You need one person who has a problem you already know how to solve. That is the whole business to start. You are a leader. At home and at work. You have been leading, coaching, and delivering your whole career. And you absolutely have what it takes to make this happen. But you have been using perfectionism as procrastination. And that stops today.   P.S. — If you know a woman who is the breadwinner in her home and she has been quietly dreaming about leaving corporate to build her own business — share this episode with her. Your share could be the moment everything changes for her. 🖤   Keywords: perfectionism, procrastination, corporate exit, coaching business, consulting business, primary breadwinner, faith, women entrepreneurs, calling, freedom

    43: The Paycheck Trap — Why Career Transition Feels Financially Impossible

    ⏰ THIS WEEK ONLY — The Faith Fueled Exit is open NOW through Sunday June 15th at 11:59pm EST. After that it is gone. Do not let this be another thing you almost did. 👉I WANT IN!  Because here's the truth friend... You told yourself January was going to be the year. You were going to work until the bonus hit. Until the stocks vested. Until the timing was right. And then the raise came. The empty promises followed. And you stayed. It's June now. And you are sitting in that cubicle convicted — because you let your steady paycheck win again. Sound familiar? That's exactly what we are breaking today. If corporate burnout has you trapped in the "one more year" cycle — this episode is for you. If career transition feels impossible because the financial fear is just too loud — this episode is for you. If you are a Christian woman who knows she is called to more but keeps letting the paycheck talk her out of it — friend, this episode is especially for you. Inside, I break down: 🖤 The 3 financial traps that keep Christian women stuck in corporate — and why they feel so convincing 🖤 Why this is not actually a money problem — it's a faith problem dressed up in a spreadsheet 🖤 The real cost of staying — what your work-life balance, your family, and your calling are paying every single day you wait 🖤 The question God has been waiting for you to ask that will completely flip the stakes 🖤 What setting boundaries with your own fear actually looks like — and why it starts with one decision Because here's what I know to be true... Every day you stay is not caution. It is a choice. You are choosing your employer over your calling. And that choice has a cost that does not show up on your pay stub. What if God is asking you to let go so He can give you something greater? If you knew that leaving today meant losing $120,000 in the short term — but you were building a God-led business that would give you $1.2 million in two years — would that change the stakes? The life you keep daydreaming about at your desk? It is not a fantasy. It is a decision. And you can make it today. 🙌 --- 🔥 SPECIAL OFFER — OPEN NOW THROUGH SUNDAY JUNE 15TH AT 11:59PM EST 🔥 The Faith Fueled Exit — 4-Day Intensive 2 live calls + 2 What'sApp days = your real God-led exit plan By Day 4 you will have: ✅ Your exact freedom number — the real savings target built around your actual life ✅ A plan to get there faster than you think — including how to start generating income outside corporate while you are still in it ✅ A real exit date you are ready to commit to — backed by a plan you built yourself $444 · This offer disappears Sunday June 15th at 11:59pm EST 👉BOOK HERE   If this episode hit home — if you are sitting in that corporate chair right now knowing it is time to move — let's talk.

    42: But What If It Actually Works? The Truth About Leaving Corporate

    👉 Ready to stop letting fear make decisions that God already made for you? Book your Corporate Exit Strategy Call here: www.stuckincorporate.com Because here's the truth friend... You have spent so much time asking the wrong question. What if it doesn't work? What if I fail? What if I lose everything I've worked so hard to build? But nobody — and I mean NOBODY — is asking the better question. The scarier question. The one God has actually been waiting for you to ask. What if it actually works? If you are in the middle of a faith career transition and you keep talking yourself out of leaving corporate — this episode is for you. If career burnout has you convinced that the safe, stable, predictable path is your only option — this episode is for you. If you are a woman who knows deep in her spirit that she was made for a purpose driven career but fear keeps winning — friend, this episode is especially for you. Inside, I break down: 🖤 Why we plan for failure like it's inevitable but treat success like it's a fantasy 🖤 The real reason career change for women feels so terrifying — and it's not what you think 🖤 The 4 powerful what ifs that will completely flip the script on your fear 🖤 What my own journey of leaving corporate taught me about trusting God over my spreadsheet 🖤 Why your calling doesn't need your perfect plan — it just needs your YES Because here's what I know to be true... God is not sitting in heaven planning your failure. Jeremiah 29:11 says He has plans to prosper you, to give you a hope and a future. So why are you spending all your time planning for the alternative? The life you keep daydreaming about at your desk? It is not a fantasy. It is a decision. And you can make it today. 🙌 If this episode hit home — if you are sitting in that corporate chair right now wondering if it's finally time to move — let's talk.

    41: The Real Reason You're Still Stuck in That Corporate Chair

    👉 Ready to stop second-guessing and start walking in your calling? Book your Corporate Exit Strategy Call here: www.stuckincorporate.com Because here's the truth friend... if you've been trying to leave that corporate job for 2, 3, maybe 5 years — and you still haven't moved — it's not your finances. It's not your timing. It's not your circumstances. It's that you don't fully trust God enough to take the next step. And I know, because I was YOU. In this episode, I get vulnerable about the real reason so many high-achieving women stay stuck in corporate — and it's not what you think. Inside, I break down: 🖤 The 3 real reasons we second-guess our God-given calling 🖤 Why over-analyzing everything is just fear dressed up in a business suit 🖤 What Esther's story teaches us about trusting God in impossible, life-or-death moments 🖤 Why God doesn't need your perfect plan — He just needs your YES 🖤 How to take your next step even when you don't feel ready or equipped Because here's what I know to be true... God doesn't call the equipped. He equips the called. Esther didn't second-guess. She didn't overanalyze. She put her faith in the Lord and took action — and she saved not only herself but her entire people. So here's the question I'm leaving with you today: If our loving and generous God could guide and protect Esther in her calling… what makes you think He wouldn't do it for you? It's time to stop auditing your calling and start walking in it. 🙌 If this episode hit home, I'd love for you to share it with the woman in your life who needs to hear it today. Your share could be the nudge that finally gets her unstuck. And if YOU are ready to stop sitting in that corporate chair and finally make your move — let's talk.

    39: Lessons Mel Robbins Taught Me About Getting Unstuck

    Hey friend — this episode is straight from my heart to yours. I recently had the most incredible opportunity to see Mel Robbins live in Atlanta and I knew the moment I sat down that everything she was saying was meant for you too. In this episode I am sharing the biggest lessons I took away and connecting them directly to the woman who is exhausted from burnout, silently fighting imposter syndrome, and wondering if a career change is really possible for someone like her. If you have been sitting on your dream and waiting to feel ready — this episode is going to challenge you to stop waiting and start moving. Because thinking doesn't change your life. Action does. And true work-life balance and purpose? They are waiting for you on the other side of that decision. Come listen. I think this one is going to hit different. 🎙️
