Career Growth for Working Moms | Career Advancement, Overwhelm, Clarity, Visibility, Burnout Recovery
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.

79 | When Your Career No Longer Fits: How to Explore What’s Next With Courage & Clarity featuring Stephanie Cordes
If you’ve ever found yourself staring at your calendar, your inbox, or the next exhausting workweek wondering… “Do I still want this life?” — you’re not alone, and you are absolutely in the right place.
Today’s guest, Stephanie Cordes, is a Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur Source who helps women explore new paths with confidence — whether that’s a career shift, entrepreneurship, or simply taking back ownership of their next chapter. After 20 years in corporate and a season of intense personal and family challenges, Stephanie had her own turning point — the moment she realized the life she was living no longer aligned with the life she wanted.
In this conversation, Stephanie brings the supportive, grounded guidance she’s known for — part coach, part thought-partner, part “career therapist” — to help you rethink what’s possible and explore what you truly want next.
In this episode, we explore:
✅ The life-changing moment that caused Stephanie to question her entire career path
✅ How to recognize when your career no longer matches your values or your reality
✅ Why many working moms feel trapped in careers that don’t fit — and how to break that cycle
✅ What career ownership really means (and why it matters more than ever)
✅ How to separate fear from intuition when exploring a change
✅ The truth about franchising, entrepreneurship, and alternative paths
✅ Why small steps count — and why they’re often the smartest way forward
✅ How to explore new possibilities without blowing up your life
✅ What to do when guilt shows up as you dream bigger
✅ A simple curiosity challenge to help you reconnect with what you really want
