What are your children learning from the way you approach work, stress, ambition, and dreams?
In this heartfelt episode #256 of the Second Act Success Podcast, Shannon Russell shares a deeply personal story about attending her son’s school presentation and realizing just how much our children are watching us as we navigate our careers, businesses, and second acts.
From career transitions and entrepreneurship to motherhood and personal fulfillment, this episode explores how the choices we make as adults shape what our children believe is possible for their own lives.
If you are a woman considering a career change, thinking about starting a business, or navigating a midlife career transition, this conversation will remind you that your journey is about more than just you. Your children are learning from the way you show up every day.
In this episode, Shannon discusses:
- Why children learn more from what we do than what we say

- Leaving a dream career to create a more present life as a mom
- How entrepreneurship and second acts model courage for our kids
