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: Kim Costa
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re successful on paper but secretly feel overlooked, drained, or stuck in the wrong role, you might not be in your wheelhouse.
That’s what happened to Kim Costa, Author of Live In Your Wheelhouse and Realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty. After decades running a multi-million-dollar construction business behind the scenes, Kim realized she was “fine” at what she did — but she wasn’t lit up by it.
Even though she helped grow the company from $1.5M to nearly $10M, she wasn’t aligned with her true strengths. It wasn’t until she reinvented herself in her 50s — becoming a top-producing real estate agent, podcast host, and author — that she felt the spark return.
Now, Kim teaches women how to stop living by default and start living in their zone of genius.
Have you found your spark — or are you still playing it safe?
