Career Growth for Working Moms | Leadership, Time Management, Overwhelm, Clarity, Work-Life Balance
Do you feel stuck in a job you’ve outgrown, but fear making the wrong move?
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.

52 | Too Busy to Grow? Why Career Development Is the Secret to Sustainable Leadership for Working Moms
Feeling stuck in your career?
👉 Do you feel guilty focusing on your own growth when your family needs you?
👉 Have you been waiting for “someday” when life slows down before you’ll finally invest in yourself?
👉 Do you secretly worry that you’ll burn out before you ever reach the next level?
If so, this episode is for you.
Most working moms think career development is a luxury—something you’ll get to once the kids are older, once work isn’t so busy, once life finally calms down. But here’s the truth: career growth isn’t extra, it’s essential.
In this episode, Shannon Fox, career coach and fellow working mom, shares how to grow your career from a place of alignment (not exhaustion) so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and balance.
🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ Why career development is the foundation of sustainable leadership (not just “extra”)
✔️ The myths that keep working moms stuck in guilt, comparison, and burnout

✔️ The STEP Method to grow your career in small, sustainable ways—without waiting for “someday”
✔️ Real stories of women who invested in themselves and reignited their careers
“Your family doesn’t need your perfection, they need your presence. And when you’re growing, you’re more present, more fulfilled, and more YOU.” – Shannon Fox
