What happens when the safe path stops feeling safe? Climbing the ladder, collecting paycheques, and sticking to the plan — it all sounds secure. But for a growing number of people, the traditional path feels more like a trap than a ticket to success.
In this honest and empowering session, Certified Life Skills & Master Mindset Coach Christen N. James (CJ) dives into the psychological leap from employee to entrepreneur—drawing from her Shine to FIVE™ Method, 3D Exit Strategy™, and insights from her top-ranked Side Hustle GROWTH podcast.
CJ will blend real stories from her show—with over 219 episodes, 117 guests, and 10K downloads—alongside practical strategies that help ambitious people overcome fear, burnout, and self-doubt. Expect conversations about mindset resets, systems that work with full schedules, and that spark of “I can do this.” and what it really takes to rewrite your life on your own terms.
Themes: career pivots · entrepreneurship · mindset shifts · breaking free
