    Episode 18: Work, Motherhood, and Permission to Evolve

    What happens when your career plan gets turned upside down by motherhood, layoffs, ambition, and evolving priorities? In this episode of Love What You Do, I’m joined by Jenna Rogers, founder of Career Civility, to talk about the real career decisions working parents are making behind the scenes and how communication can make or break your experience at work. Jenna shares her powerful career journey, from corporate tech roles to entrepreneurship, navigating a layoff shortly after maternity leave, and ultimately redefining success as a “corporate-preneur.” We dive deep into what it actually takes to build a career that supports your life, not the other way around. In this episode, we cover: How motherhood reshapes career ambition and priorities Making career decisions season-by-season (without guilt) The hidden cost of poor communication at work Why “executive presence” is really about clarity, boundaries, and confidence How to advocate for yourself (even in unclear or toxic environments) Why communication is one of the most powerful career skills you can develop If you’re a working parent, career changer, or professional feeling stuck between “what you should do” and “what you want,” this conversation will leave you feeling seen and equipped with practical tools you can actually use. 🎧 Listen now and learn how to communicate your value, set boundaries, and build a career that truly fits your life.

    Episode 16: Lessons from a Lifelong Working Mom

    What if the key to doing it all isn’t doing it all, but letting go? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with chiropractor, clinical reviewer, and mom of three, Dr. Sarah Levin, to talk about the lessons she’s learned through every season of working motherhood. From early motherhood to the teenage years, Sarah shares her best real-life strategies for balancing career and family without losing yourself in the process. We talk about the routines that actually work, how to raise kids who take responsibility, and why giving ourselves (and everyone else) a little grace can make all the difference. Whether you’re a new mom navigating chaos or a seasoned parent searching for balance, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and reminded that you’re doing better than you think.
