67: Christine Corcoran on Life After… Tall Poppy Syndrome: Networking with intention, breaking the comparison cycle, and celebrating other women
<p>What if the reason you're playing small has nothing to do with readiness, and everything to do with a mindset you didn't even know you'd inherited?</p><p><br></p><p>This week I'm joined by Christine Corcoran, mindset coach, bestselling author of Turn Imposter Syndrome into Your Superpower, and founder of the Unstoppable Women event.</p><p><br></p><p>Christine shares the year she left Australia to chase bigger rooms in America, only to realise the real block wasn't opportunity - it was the deeply ingrained Aussie tall poppy mindset keeping her, and so many women, from celebrating their own success out loud.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we chat about:</p><ul><li>Why she spent a year flying across America to attend high-investment masterminds and events</li><li>The tall poppy "attack" she felt in her own body when her book hit bestseller status</li><li>Why Australians network from a lack mindset, while Americans network from abundance</li><li>How celebrating other women's wins is an abundance practice, not a threat to your own</li><li>Practical ways to break the jealousy-comparison cycle, including "emotional home" and practising new emotions on purpose</li><li>The simple weekly practice of sending genuine "love notes" to other women in business</li><li>How to network with intention - thinking 18 months ahead instead of chasing an instant client</li><li>Why "who am I?" is the question keeping so many women off stages, out of applications, and small</li><li>Christine's Unstoppable Women event on the Gold Coast and what to expect (including Cat as a speaker!)</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Tall poppy syndrome doesn't just stop you from celebrating other women; it stops you from believing you're allowed to take up space in the first place.</p><p><br></p><p>Christine's story is a reminder that the block was never really "out there" in bigger rooms or bigger countries. It was the story that you don't belong yet.</p><p><br></p><p>If you've ever caught yourself shrinking your own win so someone else feels more comfortable, this episode is your permission slip to stop.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Christine:</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="http://christinecorcoran.com.au/">http://christinecorcoran.com.au/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/christinecorcoran_coach/">https://www.instagram.com/christinecorcoran_coach/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChristineCorcoranCoach">https://www.facebook.com/ChristineCorcoranCoach</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-corcoran-1860187a/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-corcoran-1860187a/</a></li><li>Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-next-level-life-with-christine-corcoran/id1276992872">https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-next-level-life-with-christine-corcoran/id1276992872</a></li><li>Unstoppable Women event (10 September, QT Hotel Gold Coast): <a href="https://www.unstoppablewomen.au/">https://www.unstoppablewomen.au/</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Cat:</strong></p><ul><li>Join my mailing list: <a href="https://catlouisedunn.myflodesk.com/mailing-list">https://catlouisedunn.myflodesk.com/mailing-list</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeafterileftpodcast/">https://www.instagram.com/lifeafterileftpodcast/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/catlouisedunn/">https://www.instagram.com/catlouisedunn/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/catlouisedunn/">https://www.facebook.com/catlouisedunn</a></li><li>Linkedin: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/catlouisedunn/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/catlouisedunn</a></li><li>Website: <a href="https://catlouisedunn.com/">https://catlouisedunn.com</a></li><li>Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-after-i-left/id1815891092">ht
