Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers themes like career pivots, identity shifts, leadership growth, and motherhood, with episodes exploring topics such as navigating career inflection points, overcoming imposter syndrome, and the concept of 'messy middle' life experiences. For example, recent episodes include discussions on the impact of futures thinking on healthcare and why sharing one's brilliance is crucial.
Lift Up Connections is a space where mid-career and midlife women come to explore the truth of who we are and who we are becoming next.
Hosted by Christine Perfetti, social psychologist, founder of Lift Up Connections, and creator of the Only You Reinvention Framework, this podcast shares honest, intimate conversations with women navigating growth, leadership, and reinvention at one of the most pivotal stages of life.
Each week, you will hear real stories of growth, clarity, and becoming from career pivots and identity shifts to healed relationships, new beginnings, and the messy middle moments we rarely talk about. Christine brings her warmth, wisdom, and decades of experience in human behavior to help you reconnect with your voice, desires, and the next chapter calling you forward.
Inside Lift Up Connections:
We experiment.
We get curious.
We create space for the woman you are becoming, not the one the world expected.
What happens when your body starts telling you the truth before your career does?
In this deeply honest and grounding conversation, Christine Perfetti sits down with Roberta Dombrowski, a coach, meditation teacher, and former VP of UX Research, to talk about reinvention, intuition, motherhood, and the courage it takes to leave behind a version of success that no longer fits.
Roberta shares her own journey from senior leadership in tech to coaching women through identity shifts, including the painful, nonlinear middle: layoffs, self-doubt, postpartum depression, and the temptation to return to what once felt safe.
Christine and Roberta explore:
- Why so many high-achieving women hit a wake-up call in mid-career
- How listening to your nervous system can change everything
- The myth of “blowing up your career” to reinvent
- Why motherhood and caregiving complicate (but also clarify) career transitions
- How to move away from “shoulds” and toward what’s actually aligned
- What to do when fear, uncertainty, and grief show up along the way
This episode is for women who look capable on the outside but feel misaligned on the inside and are ready to slow down, tune in, and take the next right step.
