    Beyond the Career Gap: Reclaiming Confidence, Identity, and Purpose with Dr. Ann Marie Peters

    This week on the KORE Women Podcast, Dr. Summer Watson talks with Dr. Ann Marie Peters, who is an executive coach, leadership strategist, and author of the forthcoming book, “We’ll Be Right Back.” Women step away from paid work for many reasons, motherhood, caregiving, burnout, health challenges, or unexpected life transitions. Yet, when they're ready to return, they're often confronted with a word that reduces those complex years to an empty space on a résumé: gap. Dr. Peters is challenging that narrative. In our conversation, we explore the identity shifts, grief, confidence challenges, and reinvention that can accompany a career pause, and why women shouldn't have to apologize for chapters of their lives that may have developed some of their greatest strengths. This isn't simply a conversation about getting back to work. It's about recognizing who you've become, reclaiming the value of everything you've experienced, and stepping into what comes next with renewed purpose.

    The Leadership Problem No One Is Talking About with Dr. Michela Henke-Cilenti

    This week on the KORE Women Podcast, Dr. Summer Watson welcomes Dr. Michela Henke-Cilenti, who is a behavioral change specialist, executive coach, keynote speaker, and co-author of Ready for Anything: The Making of a Change Leader. After spending more than two decades helping organizations create exceptional human experiences, Dr. Henke-Cilenti discovered that the most expensive problem in leadership isn't a skills gap, it's a belief gap. She also introduces another powerful concept: Thoughtload, which is the invisible mental and emotional weight that quietly drains performance, resilience, and joy. In this fascinating conversation, we discuss why identity shapes behavior, how trust is built through the smallest interactions, and why the most effective leaders don't simply work harder, they think differently. If you're leading people, navigating change, or simply trying to become the best version of yourself, this episode is packed with practical insights you won't want to miss.

    The Courage to Reinvent Your Career Before Life Forces You To with Sonal Bahl

    This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson is joined by Sonal Bahl, who is a former global HR leader, executive career strategist, LinkedIn Top Voice, and host of the Ready for More podcast. After nearly two decades in leadership with organizations like GE and PwC, Sonal realized that many accomplished professionals, especially women, aren't lacking ambition or ability, they have simply outgrown the version of success they once worked so hard to achieve. Drawing from her own experiences navigating layoffs, career transitions, and working across four continents, Sonal shares how to stop feeling overlooked, rebuild your confidence, increase your visibility, and reposition yourself for a career that reflects who you are today and not who you were years ago. If you're wondering whether your next chapter is waiting for you, this conversation may be exactly what you need.

    Reimagining the Future of Healthcare Without Losing the Human Connection with Daisha Marsh

    This week on the KORE Women Podcast, Dr. Summer Watson welcomes Daisha Marsh, who is a healthcare leader, mentor, and quality improvement strategist, whose career has been dedicated to making healthcare better for both patients and the professionals who serve them. Daisha's journey wasn't just shaped by innovation and leadership, it was shaped by motherhood, postpartum depression, anxiety, and the difficult decision to step away from a career that no longer aligned with her values. Instead of letting those experiences define her, she transformed them into a new purpose: helping healthcare organizations build systems that support people, not just processes. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore leadership, resilience, mental health, healthcare innovation, and why the best systems are built by leaders who never lose sight of the humans they're serving. You can connect with Daisha Marsh on LinkedIn, on Instagram @tungstenqipartners, and at: www.tengstenqi.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/daisha-marsh   Instagram: @tungstenqipartners Thank you for taking the time to listen to the KORE Women podcast and being a part of the KORE Women experience.

    Turning a Father's Legacy into a Mission of Hope and Community Impact with Roxana Muzzammel

    This week on the KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson is joined by Roxana Muzzammel, who is the Founder and CEO of Grassroots-Fund, and whose remarkable journey began with the extraordinary example set by her late father, a physician who believed everyone deserved compassionate healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay. After losing her father to leukemia, Roxana honored his legacy by raising more than $250,000 for blood cancer research. That experience ultimately inspired her to launch Grassroots-Fund, where she has since helped nonprofit organizations raise more than $1 million through authentic donor engagement, corporate sponsorships, and strategic partnerships. This isn't just a conversation about fundraising. It's about purpose, compassion, resilience, servant leadership, and discovering that our greatest impact often grows from our greatest heartbreak. If you've ever wondered how one life can inspire thousands more, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
