Episode 19: Flourish Where Your Feet Are: A Framework for Thriving at Work

Too often, high-achieving professionals think flourishing means landing the next role, title, or opportunity. But what if the key to thriving is right where you are? In this episode, Lori Pine—former corporate VP turned executive coach—introduces her CRUSH framework, a powerful tool designed to help you clarify goals, strengthen relationships, optimize processes, and protect your boundaries so you can flourish exactly where your feet are.

Packed with actionable advice and reflection prompts, Lori also shares how companies can create conditions where women win—building visibility, joy, and professional growth into the culture itself.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Flourishing isn’t future-based—it’s present-focused. Thriving starts with making the most of your current role, not waiting for the next opportunity.

• The CRUSH Framework:
C – Clarify: Define what success means to you right now so you’re not chasing someone else’s version of achievement.
R – Re-engage: Step back into visibility by showing up, speaking up, and contributing with confidence.
U – Upgrade: Identify processes, habits, or workflows you can refine to work smarter, not harder.
S – Strengthen: Build authentic, strategic relationships that fuel both your growth and your joy.
H – Healthy Boundaries: Protect your time and energy so you can sustain momentum without burning out.

• 30-Day Flourish Sprint: How to test the CRUSH framework in real life for immediate momentum.

• Conditions for Women to Win: Leaders can (and must) design environments that support visibility, equity, and growth.

• Boundaries are a leadership strategy. Saying no is often the most powerful way to say yes to what matters.
