An Executive Coach on Facing Fear, Pivoting Careers, and Protecting Your Energy | Carrie Fabris, Career Frame

At home with her young kids, Carrie found herself with the space to ask a question a lot of women in midlife quietly carry: if I could do anything I wanted, what would it be? The honest answer didn't fit the career she'd already built — and figuring out what to do about that took more than one try.ABOUT THE GUEST:Carrie Fabris spent 20+ years in corporate leadership at companies like Google, Travelocity, and Sabre before leaving to start her coaching firm, Career Frame. When it didn't take, she went back to corporate for two years — then relaunched, this time to make it stick. Now an executive coach and author of All In: A Working Mom's Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life, she works with senior leaders and teams, but the same lessons apply just as much to a working mom wondering what's next or trying to avoid burnout — including her "Return on Energy" idea: like ROI, but for your energy — are you getting a worthwhile return on what you pour into something, even if the payoff is down the road?WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:[04:02] Why her first attempt at leaving corporate failed — and why she had to go back before she could move forward[11:07] What “all in” really means — the idea behind her book All In: A Working Mom’s Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life[17:46] How to use her FRAME It executive-coaching framework at home — whether you’re leading a team at work or managing your own energy as a busy mom[22:57] The Return on Energy framework — a simple gut-check for where your time and energy actually go[26:11] The “busy” red flag, and the questions to ask yourself when you can't slow down[32:53] How to use your Clifton Strengths to find work that actually energizes you[42:05] Setting Your Rate — Why Carrie Doesn't Charge HourlyGUEST OFFER: Complimentary leadership quiz — “Discover Your Frame It Method Leadership Style” RESOURCES:All In: A Working Mom's Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life —Amazon linkThe Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron -Amazon linkClifton Strengths -Amazon linkGUEST LINKS: Wildflower MacaronsCareerframe.com:https://careerframe.com/Instagram:@cdfabrice(primary)Instagram:@CareerFrameLinkedIn:Career FrameLinkedIn:Carrie FabrisCONNECT WITH SPONSOR: Roots & BloomInstagram@rootsandbloom_studioListener promotion: Roots & Bloom 20% off plant purchase — mention “Her Intentional Reset” at checkout/to Ciera CurtisCONNECT WITH HIRInstagram @herintentionalreset.coFacebook @Her Intentional Reset.coWebsite:www.herintentionalreset.comIf HIR has been valuable to you, you can support the show here: Kofi Support The ShowNo pressure — just making it easy for listeners who want to say so.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/hemlock/the-way-forwardLicense code: RVGOVVHKDJFBKVJCThis post contains affiliate links.
