If you're ambitious but no longer willing to burn out for another promotion, you're in the right place. I'm glad you're here.

Hey 👋 , I'm Janine Esbrand, corporate lawyer turned career strategist and executive coach. For years, I had my eye on the corporate partner title. I kept my head down, worked the long hours, and chased the next big deal because that's what success was supposed to look like. Then I became a mother. And I realised I didn't want to build a life around my career, I wanted to build a career around my life. So, I stepped off the default corporate path and designed a portfolio career that allows me to work on my terms, create meaningful impact, and show up fully, both professionally and personally. Now, I help ambitious mid-career women do the same: gain clarity, challenge the default ladder, and design aligned, sustainable careers that reflect who they are now, not who they used to be.

How do I find the courage to step out of my comfort zone and make a career pivot? How do I overcome imposter syndrome and limiting beliefs?

It's been years since I've listened to my inner voice—how do I start now? Here, we turn down the external volume of societal expectations to help you find the inner clarity to make the move you've been dreaming of.

You've got the title, the mortgage, the premium health insurance, and a resume that commands respect. But lately, the view from the top feels a little... crowded. Or perhaps, a little quiet. Welcome to The Back Half , the podcast for high-achievers, executives, and recovering perfectionists who are realizing the strategies which got them to the summit won't necessarily help them navigate the descent or the next peak on the other side. Hosted by Marti Wilson , this show is a deep dive into Skilled Adulting : the sophisticated art of managing the 'undisclosed struggles' of mid-life with strategy, humility, and a healthy dose of irony. We aren't here to talk about 'mid-life crises.' We're here to talk about strategic launches. Meet Your Host: Marti Wilson Marti has spent her career mastering the art of the professional climb, only to realize high-level success often comes with a 'Check Engine' light that's been blinking since 2022. As a self-described 'recovering high-achiever,' Marti is on a mission to dismantle the myth that we're supposed to have it all figured out by age 50. Creator of the LIFT framework, Ms. Wilson facilitates the conversations we usually save for the third drink: the ones about career obsolescence, the 'sandwich generation' squeeze, and the terrifying realization that our 1990s dating and finance strategies are officially expired. She isn't a guru! Think of her as the girl who's just a few miles further down the road, reporting back on where the potholes are so you don't have to hit them yourself. The LIFT Framework Every episode of The Back Half is anchored by the LIFT framework a comprehensive life audit designed to help you update your personal 'operating system' for your second act: L Love & Relationships: Moving beyond 'functional roommates.' We discuss Love 2.0, designing partnerships that don't need a renovation, and navigating the nuance of cross-cultural love. I Income & Legacy: It's more than just a 401k. We explore 'giving with a warm hand,' estate planning that doesn't ruin your heirs, and defining what 'enough' actually looks like. F Family & Home: Navigating the 'Sandwich Generation' squeeze. From launching adult children to the emotional gravity of the last farewell with aging parents. T Trade & Career: Executing the ultimate professional pivot. How to handle career obsolescence and finding purpose when your identity is no longer tied to your business card. What to Expect The Back Half is where the 'Masterclass' meets a sophisticated cocktail bar. We skip the rehearsed PR answers and get straight to the gut-level truths in our signature segment, 'The Unfiltered Audit.' Whether we're talking to experts about the 'Inheritance Inconvenience' or discussing why you still feel like you're winging it, this show provides the blueprint for anyone tired of coasting on 1990s software. The back half of life isn't a breakdown; it's a breakout. It's time to stop treating your life like a shared calendar and start treating it like a designed legacy. Join us as we audit the struggle and master the art of Skilled Adulting.

Lucas and Luna guide professionals through the practical and psychological realities of changing careers — whether shifting industries, pivoting to a new function, or making a mid-career move. Each episode dissects a single case: a teacher retraining as a data analyst, a marketing director transitioning to product management, an accountant founding a nonprofit. Lucas presses on the numbers — salary timelines, cost of retraining, ROI of certifications — while Luna explores identity, risk tolerance, and how to reframe a non-linear résumé. They compare strategies: the 'side project' approach versus full-time study, leveraging alumni networks versus cold outreach, and when to take a pay cut versus when to walk away. Listeners will hear honest trade-offs — lost seniority, imposter syndrome, family pressure — not motivational fluff. For anyone who has ever wondered if it's too late to start something new, Lucas and Luna offer no easy answers, but a clear map of the terrain.#CareerPivot #MidCareerChange #IndustrySwitch #RoleChange #CareerTransition #CareerStrategy #JobChange #Retraining #SkillsGap #ImposterSyndrome #ResumeTips #Networking #SalaryNegotiation #CareerAdvice #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo more

Lucas and Luna examine the real economics of career change: how bootcamps, certificate programs, and reskilling initiatives actually affect earnings, hiring, and job satisfaction. They compare the ROI of a 12-week coding bootcamp against a two-year community college degree, discuss which industries currently pay premiums for career switchers (logistics tech, healthcare IT, renewable energy), and analyze data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on job mobility and wage growth. Each episode centers on a specific transition path—say, a retail manager moving into data analytics, or a journalist learning UX design—and evaluates the costs, timelines, and employer demand. Lucas brings the numbers and policy context; Luna asks the practical questions a listener weighing a pivot would ask. The show does not promise easy wins or a single roadmap; instead, it offers a clear-eyed look at the trade-offs, the failure rates, and the surprising success stories behind reskilling. What is the actual probability that a 36-year-old accountant who takes a part-time cybersecurity certificate will land a job paying more than her current salary within 18 months? Lucas and Luna find out, and they walk you through the calculation.#CareerChange #Reskilling #Bootcamps #JobSwitching #CareerMobility #TechSkills #CodingBootcamp #Upskilling #LaborMarket #DataAnalytics #UXDesign #Cybersecurity #HealthcareIT #RenewableEnergyJobs #CareerAdvice #Business #FexingoBusiness #CareersKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo more
