Welcome back!

In this inspiring and honest conversation, Carole Yammine sits down with Cindy Novotny to explore the realities of balancing ambition, motherhood, and leadership in today’s world, particularly through the lens of growing up and building a career in the Middle East.

From childhood influences and cultural expectations to navigating “mom guilt,” evolving priorities, and redefining success, Carole shares a deeply personal perspective on what it truly means to be an independent woman, working mother, and business leader. Together, they unpack the stereotypes surrounding working mothers, the importance of strong support systems, and the untold realities many women silently carry while striving to succeed both professionally and personally.

This episode goes beyond career advice — it’s a candid conversation about resilience, identity, family, and the power of showing children what passion, purpose, and perseverance look like in real life.

Whether you’re a working parent, aspiring leader, entrepreneur, or someone navigating life’s changing priorities, this discussion offers meaningful insights, encouragement, and practical wisdom for building success on your own terms.

Can't wait for you to tune in!
