Torn between being present for your kids and showing up fully at work?
Is financial stress the only thing keeping you in a job you don’t love?
Wishing someone could just help you figure out your next best career step—without all the guesswork and guilt?
You’re in the right place.
This podcast is for ambitious women who want to grow their careers without sacrificing their families—or themselves.
Hey, I’m Shannon - a Career Coach, wife, and mom of two. I’ve been where you are: stuck in burnout, unsure of what’s next, and juggling all the things.
For years, I pushed through jobs that didn’t fit—trying to “do it all” while slowly losing myself.
Everything changed when I discovered my natural strengths and finally started showing up as my authentic self.
I built a successful career and coaching program around helping other working moms do the same—and now I’m sharing what I’ve learned right here with you.
Each week, you’ll get simple, actionable steps to grow your career with confidence, reclaim your time, and align your work with your life—not the other way around.
Grab your coffee (or reheat it for the third time), put in your earbuds, and let’s take the next step—together.
