Peace & Plenty in 20 ❤︎

💼 Episode #36 Dream Jobs & Real Lives: Career Transitions for Midlife Moms + Their 20-Somethings

Jeannine Deramo Season 1 Episode 36

🤔 When was the last time you paused to ask, “What do I actually want to do next?”

✨ In this powerful conversation, I sit down with sisters Marissa and Jamie -recruiters turned career strategists and co-founders of The Dreamcatchers© -to talk about the messy, meaningful reality of career transitions for women in midlife and the twenty-something kids they’re cheering on.

We cover it all—from re-entering the workforce after years away to helping recent grads land that first “real” job (without losing their confidence or your sanity). The Dreamcatchers share how job searching today is less about résumés and more about relationships, why there’s never a perfect time to make a change, and how every phase of life (yes, even parenting and volunteering) can translate into valuable, marketable skills.

Whether you’re a mom in transition or a mentor helping your college grad find their path, this episode is packed with guidance, validation, and practical next steps for both generations.

🔑 WHAT WE COVER:

📌Why job search support should be as common as college counseling
📌The mindset shift women need to re-enter the workforce confidently
📌How networking beats the black hole of online applications every time
📌Helping your twenty-something navigate their first job search without taking over
📌Letting go of prestige and finding purpose in your next chapter

👉 THIS WEEK’S ACTION STEP:
Identify one person in your network—old colleague, friend, or parent connection—and send a genuine message to reconnect. Relationships are the true résumé 🙌🏻

💬 A Little Heads-Up❗️
Yes, I know this show is called Peace & Plenty "in 20"… but this one clocks in more than double 😬. What can I say? When the conversation’s this good, you don’t cut it short. Think of it as Peace & Plenty: The Director’s Cut. And I think it's worth every minute! 🎬
