If you or your partner have ever said, “I think I need a career change,” then this episode is a must-listen. Katie sits down with Christelle Pillot, international career consultant and founder of the Freedom Catcher Academy, to unpack the messy, emotional, and transformational journey of changing careers — especially when you're in a long-term relationship.

Together, they explore:

• The real reasons high-achievers hit a wall in their careers (especially post-COVID)
• Why our work dissatisfaction silently erodes home life
• How to have calm, strategic conversations with your partner about a career shift
• What to do when your partner doesn’t support your decision (and what that actually means)
• How to prepare — financially, emotionally, and relationally — before making the leap

From Christelle’s powerful personal story of burnout and reinvention to practical tools like non-violent communication and self-reflection strategies, this episode is full of truth, tools, and encouragement.

Whether you’re the one thinking of quitting or you’re supporting a partner through a career shift, this episode will give you the clarity, courage, and communication tools to move forward — together.
