Episode #55 If You’re Still Thinking Like an Employee, Watch This — with Paulina Tillman

In the latest episode of The Queen of Automation, I sit down with the incredible Paulina Tillman for a raw and real conversation that hits close to home for so many of us who’ve walked away from corporate life to build something on our own terms. Paulina is a mindset strategist who’s all about helping ex-corporate junkies rewire their thinking and start fresh, not just with what they do, but with who they are.

In this episode, Paulina shares the exact transformation process she guides her clients through, starting with who you’re being, not just what you’re doing. We break down how leaving corporate means unlearning decades of conditioning, things like "success equals a paycheck" and "you must always be productive to have worth." If you've ever been told what to do your entire life, from school to bosses, and then suddenly you're the one in charge, it can be paralyzing. This conversation is for you.

We also dive into why simply taking action doesn’t work if your identity is still stuck in fear or lack, and why the corporate mindset just doesn’t translate when you’re trying to build a personal brand or run a business. Paulina’s philosophy: don’t just take action, rebuild your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs first so the action actually works. And if you’re wondering about her community? It’s small, intimate, and filled with people who are ready to be brutally honest, show up messy, and do the work. No fluff. No hiding. Just true transformation.

This episode isn’t just a pep talk, it’s a recalibration for anyone feeling like they’re in the in-between. It’s about learning to trust yourself again, questioning the rules you were handed, and doing it all in a way that feels true to you.
