Why I Chose the Harder Path
Most women don’t design their careers.
They default into them.
Climb the ladder. Stay for stability. Do what’s expected.
And then one day, it stops working.
In this episode, I share why I chose to build a business while keeping my job — even though it’s harder.
Not because it’s ideal.
But because the alternatives were unacceptable to me.
I talk about:
- why “stability” isn’t always safe
- what keeps you going when motivation runs out
- and a simpler way to think about designing a career that actually supports your life
This is part of my weekly Career Design Notes where I share how I’m thinking about career, money, and building something on the side as a working mom.
