PRESS PLAY
The JOY CEO is a leadership and coaching show built around the lives of ambitious women who have already achieved enough to know that achievement is not the whole answer. Lori Pine approaches business problems as identity problems in disguise. Visibility is not only about strategy. Personal brand is not only about polish. Burnout is not only about calendars. A bad email, a crashed website, a major investment, or the sense of not feeling like oneself becomes material for a deeper question about safety, permission, self-trust, and what high performers keep doing long after the original reason has passed. The solo episodes have a coaching-room intimacy. They move from story to insight, then from insight to a practical challenge. Pine often names the loop first: overachieving instead of being seen, reacting and then ruminating, managing everyone else while losing contact with oneself. Then she slows it down. The show is not allergic to tactics, but it rarely treats tactics as the root issue. Guest conversations widen the lens. Kate Haranis brings visibility strategy into a conversation about how women become known without feeling fake. Justine Clay connects ADHD, brain fog, burnout, and creative leadership with the realities of high-performing professionals. Anne Hoeger’s story of moving from engineering into marketing opens a discussion of growth, change, and the art-and-science nature of business leadership. The recurring emotional terrain is familiar: being passed over, feeling misunderstood, wanting more, holding too much, waiting for permission, and trying to lead without performing a version of success that no longer fits. The show is warm, but it is not soft in the evasive sense. It keeps asking what the next grown-up decision requires. It also gives personal details room beside leadership language, which makes the coaching feel lived rather than theoretical. The JOY CEO works best for listeners who want leadership development with emotional precision, real stories, and a steady refusal to separate professional power from personal wholeness.
Made for: For accomplished, ambitious women navigating visibility, burnout, personal brand, career change, and the pressure to keep performing strength. It especially fits high-achieving professionals, consultants, coaches, and creative professionals who want practical growth without ignoring the emotional cost.
What sets it apart: The show treats leadership and career strategy as inseparable from self-trust, old protective patterns, and everyday moments of avoidance. Its strength is the blend of intimate solo coaching and guest conversations that keep business advice grounded in lived experience.
