Women and Work

Diane Moca, Founder/CEO of MomSub

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: Carson Wagner

    For Carson Wagner, excellence in childcare didn’t come from building a business — it came from rebuilding trust in an industry where trust is everything. Before founding Lifetime of Love Nannies, Carson spent years watching families struggle to find support they could rely on. She saw burnt-out parents trying to do it all, nannies undervalued for the heart-work they provide, and a system failing the very people it was supposed to help. Instead of accepting “how it’s always been,” she created something better — a company rooted in safety, dignity, and genuine love. Carson didn’t just pair families with caregivers; she redefined what quality childcare could look like when integrity leads the way. Her journey is proof that leadership doesn’t start with scale — it starts with service, empathy, and doing right by people. What standard are you willing to raise in the world you serve?

    Women and Work: Sarah Wallace

    For Sarah Wallace, impact didn’t come from knowing the technology — it came from understanding the humans behind it. In an industry driven by systems engineers and technologists, Sarah entered with a different lens: psychology, behavioral economics, and human-computer interaction. She wasn’t there to out-code anyone — she was there to bridge the gap between people and the products built for them. As a Customer Experience Strategy Leader and Consultant, Sarah has spent her career translating human behavior into better design, better conversations, and better business decisions. She was the “soft” perspective in a hard tech world — until everyone realized her perspective was the one that made everything work. Her story is a reminder that expertise doesn’t always look like the loudest voice in the room. Sometimes it’s the one who understands what people actually need. What lens are you bringing into the spaces you lead? Sarah invites you to level up your UX game with a plan for UX excellence at https://www.proprietary-insights.com/.

    Women and Work: Ashley Jablow

    Wholeness. Bravery. Alignment. For Ashley, success wasn’t just about leading at a high level — it was about finally feeling whole. For years, she felt split in two: “work Ashley” and “real Ashley.” And instead of choosing between them, she built a career where she never had to. From executive leadership to motherhood to creativity and community, Ashley chose spaces where she could show up as all of herself — not a curated version. Her story is a reminder that alignment isn’t a luxury. It’s a form of courage. Are you living as one version of yourself — or the whole you?

    Women and Work: Chandler Stroud

    Freedom. Ambition. Design. For Chandler Stroud, getting her MBA wasn’t about climbing higher — it was about living freer. Success, for her, wasn’t defined by titles or power. It was about choice — the freedom to design a career that honored both her ambition and her family. From long commutes to flexible work and paid maternity leave, Chandler set out to find — and create — workplaces that worked for women, not against them. Her story is a reminder that ambition doesn’t have to mean sacrifice — it can mean design. Would you ever choose flexibility over prestige?

    Women and Work Podcast 31: Nancy Griffin

    Bias. Balance. Empowerment. For Nancy Griffin, success didn’t come from following the rules — it came from realizing the system wasn’t built for her. When an executive once said, “She has a family,” to deny her an international opportunity, Nancy never even knew. Years later, she found out that decision — made for her — changed the course of her life. But it also became the moment she decided to rewrite her story. From one of Procter & Gamble’s first female managers to founder of Women Worth and Wellness, Nancy transformed her career into a mission — helping women reclaim their power over health, wealth, and self-worth. Her story is a reminder that empowerment begins when we stop waiting for permission. Have you ever found out someone made a career decision for you — without even asking what you wanted?
