Women and Work
The workplace can feel very different for women than for men. Women often feel they have to prove themselves, that they’re evaluated by how they look, or that their opinions are not respected. They feel Mom Guilt for leaving their kids while they pursue a career and worry about taking a job that fuels their passion instead of their pocketbook. We examine these real life challenges of women who are climbing the corporate ladder, growing their own business, and navigating the complex juggle of work and family. We explore how women like you can make work fit your life, not the other way around.

Women and Work: Dr. Nelva Lee
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Nelva Lee, Founder & CEO of Concrete Build Financing and candidate for Superintendent of Schools in Georgia, learned that leadership doesn’t always look like momentum — sometimes it looks like sacrifice.
During a season of homeschooling her child, Dr. Lee placed her career on the back burner, building a business quietly while prioritizing presence over progress. At the time, it felt heavy. The business wasn’t thriving yet, and the journey didn’t look like success from the outside.
But with hindsight, she sees it differently. That season wasn’t lost time — it was intentional time. And when her child entered school, the business finally found its stride.
Dr. Lee’s story is a reminder that growth doesn’t always happen on our timeline — and that some of the most meaningful work happens when no one is watching.
What season of your life are you being asked to honor right now?
