  • "Erfüllung findest du nicht im Außen" Wie man berufliche Neuausrichtung von innen beginnt - Karolin König-Baykan
    Nov 17 2025

    Was passiert, wenn eine erfolgreiche Karrierecoach Mutter wird und plötzlich alles in Frage stellt? In diesem ehrlichen und mutigen Gespräch erzählt Karolin König-Baykan, wie die Geburt ihrer Tochter nicht nur ihr Leben, sondern ihr gesamtes Business-Konzept transformiert hat. Nach 8 Jahren klassischem Karrierecoaching folgt sie nun ihrer Intuition statt ihrem Verstand - und zeigt uns, warum das der mutigste Schritt überhaupt ist.


    • Warum Erfüllung niemals im Außen zu finden ist, und wo du stattdessen suchen solltest
    • Der Unterschied zwischen "wahren Stärken" und dem, was du dafür hältst - und warum du deine größten Talente oft gar nicht erkennst
    • Die brutale Wahrheit über HR & Recruiting -Warum Recruiter NIEMALS für dich arbeiten (sondern immer fürs Unternehmen)
    • Wie Mutterschaft als Portal wirkt und Caroline's radikale Transformation durch die Geburt ihrer Tochter
    • Leidenschaft vs. Markt - Was wirklich wichtiger ist (die Antwort wird dich überraschen)
    • Warum kleine Schritte Momentum erzeugen und wie du Raum für Neues schaffst, auch ohne perfekten Plan
    • Von der "Huntress" zur "Queen Energy" und wie Frauen aus dem toxischen "Arbeiten, Schaffen, Machen"-Modus ausbrechen können


    Karolin ist Karrierecoach und Gründerin von Career Catalyst und hat jetzt ihr neues Business www.feminineevolution.de gegründet. Mit über 8 Jahren Erfahrung im HR- und Recruiting-Bereich hat sie mehr als 4.000 Menschen begleitet, ihre berufliche Erfüllung zu finden. 2021 wurde sie Mama und dieser Moment veränderte nicht nur ihr Leben, sondern ihre gesamte Arbeitsphilosophie. Heute unterstützt sie Frauen dabei, nicht mehr ins "Jobgefängnis" zurückzukehren, sondern ihrer inneren Stimme zu folgen und ihre wahre Kraft zu entdecken und der auch zu folgen :)

  • How to Break the Cycle of Self-Criticism (So Your Kids Don’t Inherit It)
    Nov 10 2025

    Struggling to stay consistent with your new habits and being disciplined in your work? You're not alone!

    Let's talk about the importance of self-compassion and tiny steps towards change and how to be kinder to yourself when trying to change (and why your kids need to see it!)

    I often explore my own personal challenges through the podcast and this week I reflect on how me trying to change my habbits and patterns affects me, how I handle setbacks and how I improve going forward.

    In this episode:

    I talk about the importance of discipline and the challenges of forming new habits, particularly in the context of working from home.

    I reflect on the the impact of generational patterns on behavior and the significance of role modeling for our children.

    I talk about why mindfulness and self-compassion are so important when attempting to change habits, advocating for small, manageable goals to foster sustainable change.

  • The Accountant Who Found Her Sparkle And Became a Bestselling Author: Debbie Weiss on Starting Over at 62 #careerchange
    Oct 19 2025

    This is Part 1 of the career and life journey with Debbie Weiss

    Guest: Debbie Weiss - Bestselling author, speaker, and creator of "The Sprinkle Effect"

    What happens when you spend 50 years being the responsible one and suddenly realize you've lost yourself completely?

    Debbie Weiss spent three decades running an insurance agency, caring for a father with special needs for 30 years, raising a son on the autism spectrum, and supporting a husband battling mental illness. She was the person everyone leaned on. The one who always did the right thing. The one who handled everything.

    But inside? She was miserable and didn't even know it.

    At 50, a weekend away with friends changed everything. Debbie realized she'd spent half a century living for everyone else and had no idea who she actually was or what she wanted. Watching her parents live with regret, she made a decision: this wasn't going to be her story.

    Now, at 62, while her friends talk retirement, Debbie is just getting started. She's a bestselling author with viral TikTok videos (3.7 million views!), has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and is building an entirely new career helping others step out of victim mode and into their authentic lives. Always afraid to speak in front of people she finally pushes through that fear and realizes - maybe that's what she came here in the end.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why waiting for the "perfect time" to pursue your dreams means you'll wait forever
    • The turning point moment that made Debbie realize she'd lost herself completely
    • How she discovered she was creative after spending 50 years convinced she "didn't have a creative bone in her body"
    • The game-changing mindset shift from "I'm not this" to "what if I could be?"
    • Why authenticity on social media (messy hair and all) connects more than perfection
    • How one vulnerable speech changed the entire trajectory of her life
    • What it really means to stop being a victim of your circumstances


    Quotes:

    • "I don't want to be that person at the end of my life looking back saying, man, it flew by so quickly and I didn't do what I was here to do."
    • "When you suppress yourself, you're suffering. You're trying to hide because what will people think of you?"
    • "If you don't let your true self come through, just realize that you're not reaching and helping the people that you were meant to help."
    • "I'm not creative while literally creating all these amazing things it's so typical for us women, isn't it?"

  • 1500 Situps: The 30-day sit-up challenge to build discipline with my 8-year old
    Sep 25 2025

    Today's co-host is my daughter Stella

    Connecting with your kids can be super challenging at times when you are super busy. I get it.

    Instilling discipline into your child's day-to-day routine and even make it fun, can be even more challenging. And yet- discipline is important for success in life.

    Not just for our kids - for us too.

    Many successful people cite discipline as their main key ingredient for success.

    Discipline gets a bad rap but actually - we can really truly free our mind and boost productivity by creating habits and orderliness that in turn create a free mind and strong foundation for success.

    And don't get me wrong.. I am not a master at this AT ALL.

    But it turns out.. my 8-year old daughter Stella is.

    So we created a 30-Day Challenge that did not just show her how fun commitment and discipline can be, it brought us closer together by doing it together. Highly recommend to any mum looking for a fun way to engage and connect with their children, it was SO much fun. And - we both felt an amazing sense of achievement. This little exercise was GOLD in SO many ways.


    PS.

    Your Next

    Remember: You're not doing this journey alone. Your story matters, your struggles are valid, and your dreams are worth pursuing.

  • Stop Playing Small: From Graphic Designer to Mighty Mama (And Why Your Health Is Your Family's Heartbeat) #CareerChange
    Sep 19 2025

    What if the key to being a better mom isn't working harder,but taking care of yourself first?

    Today, meet: Moriah from Mighty Mama Coaching in Canada, who works in personal training and health coaching specificallyfor moms. She went from feeling trapped at a desk to helping moms discover that their health isn't selfish, it's the foundation their whole family needs.

    Moriah's journey is beautifully messy and real. She studiedgraphic design, felt like she was in prison sitting at a desk all day, and had the courage to completely pivot. Through life in England, Costa Rica, and raising a toddler, she discovered her true calling: reminding moms that their health is the heartbeat of their whole family.


    Key Learnings

    Your Health = Your Family's Foundation

    She says: "Your health isn't just your own. It's the heartbeat of your whole family." When moms prioritize their health, it creates a ripple effect that benefits everyone. You're not being selfish, you're modeling healthy habits and showing up as your best self.

    Make Fitness Fun, Not a Chore

    Forget intimidating gym culture. When you enjoy something,you'll actually stick with it. Moriah brings joy and playfulness to fitness because sustainable change happens when it feels good.

    Start Small, Build Momentum

    Don't try to transform overnight. Even one or two workoutsper week is better than nothing. Small consistent actions build the momentum that creates lasting change.

    Strength Training Is Non-Negotiable

    Especially after having kids. Think about being able tocatch yourself if you slip on ice at 70, or getting up from the floor without help. It's about staying strong and independent as you age.

    You Don't Need a Gym

    You can build strength at home with bodyweight exercises orbasic weights. Your living room works just as well as any fancy gym.

    Community Changes Everything

    We weren't meant to do this alone. Having people whounderstand your journey makes all the difference, whether it's fitness, career changes, or motherhood.

    Stop the Comparison Game (and important one for all of us)

    Stop measuring yourself against people who are 20 stepsahead. The right people will be drawn to YOUR unique approach, not the shiny object everyone else is chasing.

    Trust Your Body and Heart

    If something doesn't feel aligned, your career, workout routine, or life choices, then trust that feeling. It's easier to make a change now than stay uncomfortable and miserable forever.

    3 Mindset Shifts That Helped This Mom Go from Graphic Designer to Purpose-Driven Entrepreneur



    Your Next:

    Remember: You're not doing this journey alone. Your storymatters, your struggles are valid, and your dreams are worth pursuing.

  • Warum introvertierte Frauen anders Unternehmen gründen und der Weg raus aus dem Hamsterrad - mit Nadine Krischker
    Sep 10 2025

    Heute gibt es das Intro-Preneur Special mit Nadine Krischke, Teil 1

    Nadine Krischke begleitet introvertierte Frauen beim Aufbau ihres Herzensbusiness. Ihr Podcast: Intro-Preneur

    Worüber sprechen wir?

    Warum introvertierte Frauen anders gründen und wie der Weg raus aus dem Hamsterrad gelingt. Nadine Krischke teilt ihre Transformation von der Marketingleiterin zum authentischen Business-Coaching.

    Der Ausgangspunkt liegt bei dir selbst
    Was willst du? Nicht dein Umfeld, nicht Instagram-Gurus. Deine Werte, deine Vision, deine Aufgabe.

    Deine Vielseitigkeit ist deine Stärke

    Multi-passionate? Multi-hyphenate? Das ist kein Fehler, den du reparieren musst. Das ist dein Superpower. (yippee, ich freu mich gleich mit ;-)

    Ängste sind normal, Lähmung nicht.
    Zweifel und Unsicherheit gehören dazu. Immer. Problematisch wird's, wenn sie dich komplett blockieren.

    1. Gesellschaftliche Erwartungen
    2. Familienmeinungen ("Mach doch was Sicheres!")
    3. Innere Glaubenssätze ("Du bist zu sensibel fürs Business")


    Frauen brauchen andere Ansätze als "Skalier schnell und nimm Tempo auf". Wir funktionieren über Sinn, Erfüllung und Verbindung – nicht primär über Geld.

    Deine Prioritäten haben sich verschoben? Völlig okay. Du musst nicht von 0 auf 100 durchstarten wie mit 25. Finde dein Modell für deine Lebenssituation.

    Hochsensibilität und Feinfühligkeit? Du brauchst dir keine dicke Haut zulegen. Diese Eigenschaften sind in einer KI-überschwemmten Welt gefragter denn je.

    Content-Überschwemmung macht es schwerer, gehört zu werden. Aber: Menschlichkeit wird dadurch noch wertvoller. Echtsein, Verbindung, Vertrauen – das kann keine KI ersetzen.

    Die Essenz und Key Takeaways:

    Die drei größten Hürden für Frauen im Business-Coaching sind männliche Strategien

    Als Mama neu durchstarten

    Berufliche Neuorientierung für Frauen und Mütter

    Deine stillen Stärken sind Business-Assets

    KI verändert alles


    Klingt spannend? Hör rein!

    PS. heute hatte ich leider kleine Microschwierigkeiten, beim nächsten Mal wieder besser!
