When Mommy Grows Up Becca Carnahan & Marie-Pier Tremblay from Next Chapter Careers

Lots of things are going right for Cara. She and her wife were married three years ago. They love their house and their friends, and they are even looking to expand their family! They are excited to be first-time moms and are going through the IVF process.
Fortunately, Cara’s company has fantastic benefits that help to cover the cost of IVF which lifts a big burden off of Cara and her wife. Unfortunately, Cara really doesn’t love her job anymore. She’d love to get out, but she knows that for now she should stay. Is there anything she can do in the meantime to make her workday a whole lot better?
Join Becca and Marie to help Cara through this challenge with embracing the idea of job crafting.

Whitney has always loved to write, but as she has progressed in her career in fundraising she has found that her writing skills aren’t used to their full capacity. For the most part, that’s been okay. However, now that her two kids are both in elementary school and doing a bunch of writing of their own, she is getting the itch to explore her creative side more!
Whitney isn’t sure what she would do with her writing exactly as it relates to a career change, but she wants to explore what’s possible. The big question - how can she get started?
Join Becca and Marie to talk all things writing in your mid-career including setting your goals, creating opportunities, and where to get your writing published.

Having children is by far one of the most life-altering events we go through.  So how does a high-achieving woman navigate this confusing, exciting, scary, and beautiful career and life inflection point?  Listen to this replay of our very first story on When Mommy Grows Up - "Kate," mom of two little ones with a Master's Degree on her office wall and a whole lot of confusion about what fulfillment looks like to her now that she is a mom and coming out of the new baby haze.  Join Becca and Marie to hear Kate's story and learn the steps she can take to identify what has changed with her career criteria and welcome the new possibilities ahead.

If you're approaching a big life transition (a move, a new baby, a career change), then this episode of When Mommy Grows Up is for you!

This week we're joined by Emily Stark, founder of Wraparound Return. Emily shares her personal story of navigating new motherhood, two cross-country moves, and two career shifts. On top of that, she also shares HOW she has navigated these transitions with important mindset shifts and strategies.

Emily Stark is a corporate wellness and career coach who built Wraparound Return’s Program out of sheer necessity. After years of coaching return to work and transitioning parents with her business, Marketable Mama, LLC., she saw a serious need for bridge support during their return to work. The hardships she experienced in each of her return-to-work experiences were echoed alongside many clients reporting life strains during career transitions. Emily tracked these trends of hardship and built out Wraparound Return to offer unique support for individuals amid their transition back to work, hiring managers, and returnship teams.

Every time Bella* has gone into a performance review, she has been a bundle of nerves.
Seeing that meeting pop up on her calendar every year makes her panicky, and she wonders if she has done anything right in the past year or if she is going to be fired on the spot.


In reality, Bella is great at her job, but the performance review anxiety is real. Maybe you're feeling that right now too!


This week on the When Mommy Grows Up, join Marie and Becca as we walk Bella through four strategies to ease the stress and rock her review!

Perfectionism feels like a bad word, but is it? Maybe there is another way to reframe how we think about striving for perfection as professionals and parents that can help us move toward our goals without burning out.

This week we're lucky to be joined by Dr. Stephanie Thrower, a psychologist and career coach who helps working parents break the burnout cycle so they feel more engaged, creative, and connected as professionals and parents.  She helps her clients achieve clarity, find purpose, and confidently set boundaries. Dr. Thrower is also a member of our Career Clarity Community and was happy to share with us her experience in the program and how it's helped her to move forward.

Join Becca and Marie as Dr. Thrower helps us flip the script on what it means to be a perfectionist and how greater self-compassion increases resilience and motivation.
