In this episode of the HerStory Podcast, Kylie King is joined by Kylie James from Kylie James Coaching. After a 20-year career in the public service specialising in HR and workplace relations, Kylie transitioned her side hustle into a full-time coaching business helping women navigate major life transitions, particularly those over 40 looking for career transformation.

Kylie shares the “unfiltered” truth about leaving corporate stability, shifting from an employee to an entrepreneurial mindset, and why purpose and sometimes a 9-month-old puppy is the ultimate motivator to keep you moving forward.

What You’ll Learn in Episode 17

• The massive mindset shift required to move from employee to entrepreneur.

• Why purpose-driven work is the only thing that keeps you going through business “hiccups.”

• Overcoming money mindset challenges and mastering cash flow after years of steady paychecks.

• The power of a supportive community versus the “step on heads” corporate mentality.

• Why “failing fast” and experimenting is the best way to learn and grow.

• How a puppy can be a surprisingly effective coach for your mental health and daily joy.

• The “365 Step” rule: how one small action every day leads to massive progress in a year.

• Why owning your authentic personality (sparkles and all) is your biggest business asset.

• How to use vision boards and simple quotes to keep your “why” visible every day.

Kylie spent 20+ years in the human resources world helping teams and organisations to thrive. Her passion for helping others is what drew her into the human resources space and has since carried her into becoming an executive coach and mentor.
This has led Kylie to creating two wonderful businesses Kylie James Coaching and RUBY HR – People and Culture Consultants.

Enough about the serious stuff though.
How Kylie would explain what she does is sprinkle fairy dust all over the world to help people tap into their potential and chase their dreams. She helps people find their purpose in life. She helps them imagine what’s possible. No matter whether you are running a business, a CEO of a company or someone who is building a magnificent career in the zone of genius – we can all dream big and achieve amazing things.

Kylie’s values of curiosity, connection and courage are sprinkled across all she does. She asks lots of questions, she talks to everyone and she takes brave steps even when she has no idea what is going to happen! Yes fear does creep in, however, very rarely has she let it stop her…it might slow her down from time to time, however, she will eventually overcome whatever it is and step into the arena as Brene Brown would say.

Kylie is here to help you chase your dreams, build your confidence or build an incredible team. She helps you to be happy and become a superstar in your own life. There is so much magic to be made in this world and she is here to help you create yours!
