Episode 96: Listening to the Whispers with Christina Langdon

<p>Chelsea sits down with Christina Langdon—keynote speaker, high-performance coach, former media executive, author, and Acute Myeloid Leukemia survivor—to explore what it means to redefine success, embrace reinvention, and create a future that feels deeply aligned with who you are.</p><p>Christina helped build and scale some of the world&#39;s most recognized brands, including Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and Fast Company. She spent nearly two decades working alongside Martha Stewart during periods of extraordinary expansion, reinvention, disruption, and comeback, and later served in senior leadership roles helping organizations navigate growth in rapidly changing markets.</p><p>Together, Chelsea and Christina discuss why so many high-achieving women reach a point where external success no longer matches how they feel inside. They explore the &quot;mid-life rift&quot; that leaves many women asking what&#39;s next, and why the answer isn&#39;t working harder—it&#39;s learning to imagine a future that&#39;s bigger than your current circumstances. Pressure narrows our thinking, keeping us focused on protecting what we&#39;ve built instead of envisioning what&#39;s possible. Christina explains why imagination is one of our greatest superpowers and how creating a compelling vision for your future is the first step toward meaningful change.</p><p><br></p><p>In This Episode We Talk About:</p><ul><li>Rewriting your definition of success after life changes everything.</li></ul><ul><li>The difference between protecting the life you&#39;ve built and creating the life you&#39;re meant for.</li><li>Turning pressure into possibility through imagination.</li><li>Why guilt often keeps women managing everyone else while forgetting to care for themselves.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>One of the most memorable moments in this conversation comes when Christina is asked what question she would ask a woman who knows she wants something different but can&#39;t yet see what comes next. Her answer is beautifully simple: &quot;Listen to the whispers.&quot;</p><p>Those quiet thoughts that surface when you&#39;re alone—in the shower, driving in silence, or finally away from the noise—are often pointing you toward your next chapter. You don&#39;t need every answer or a perfectly mapped-out plan. You simply need the courage to pay attention to what keeps calling you. Christina reminds us that transformation doesn&#39;t begin with knowing how. It begins with believing that something more is possible, trusting your intuition, and taking one aligned step at a time. When you give yourself permission to imagine a different future, you begin creating it.</p><p>---------</p><p>Christina created the Future Self Index™ Assessment for successful people who have become so busy managing today that they have lost sight of what they want next.
