    How to Grow Your Career Without Losing Yourself | Leadership, Motherhood & Mentorship

    How do you keep growing in your career while raising a family, setting boundaries, and staying true to yourself? In this episode of Women to Woman, we sit down with cybersecurity executive and longtime sales leader Anna Brougham for an honest conversation about working motherhood, career growth, leadership, imposter syndrome, mentorship, and self-advocacy. Anna shares what she’s learned from more than 20 years in corporate America, from being afraid to speak up early in her career to learning how to put herself in the room, build relationships beyond her direct manager, negotiate for what she needed, and become a stronger leader. We also talk about the realities of motherhood and ambition: leaving the office early for the “mom shift,” protecting family time, navigating the career tradeoffs that come with those choices, and why simply doing great work isn't always enough to move your career forward. If you’re a woman navigating your 30s, 40s, or 50s and wondering how to advocate for yourself, grow professionally, find the right mentors, balance career and motherhood, or quiet the voice telling you that you need to have it all figured out, this conversation is for you. _____________________________________________________________ Chapters in this episode 00:00 Meet Anna Brougham: Women in Tech & Leadership01:50 Women in Sales, Tech & the Power of Diversity03:13 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & Finding Your Voice07:36 Breaking Self-Limiting Beliefs & Growing Your Career10:26 How to Grow When Your Manager Doesn’t Support You12:33 Women in Leadership: How to Become a Better Leader15:30 Working Motherhood: Career, Boundaries & the “Mom Shift”22:07 How to Find Mentors Who Help You Grow23:48 Negotiation, Authenticity & Owning Your Career27:36 What I’d Tell My 25-Year-Old Self

    What happens when the life you’ve built no longer feels true to who you are? In this episode, Thuy Ha, founder of Florra, shares how she listened to the quiet feeling that there was something more, rebuilt her life, and invested everything she had into starting a business rooted in scent, self-care, and connection. We talk honestly about finding purpose in midlife, moving through fear, starting small, learning to pivot, and giving yourself permission to build something of your own. If you’re a woman thinking about starting a business, changing direction, or searching for a deeper sense of purpose, Thuy’s story is a reminder that you don’t need to have the entire plan figured out.

    Finding Yourself Again in Your 40s | Motherhood, Career & Midlife

    After years of raising children, building careers, caring for family and thinking about everyone else's needs, many women reach their 40s and suddenly wonder: What do I want now? In this episode, we talk about finding purpose in your 40s and rediscovering your identity after motherhood. We explore why purpose changes throughout different seasons of life, why achievement and career don't have to define you, and what happens when you finally start listening to the quiet “whispers” telling you that something needs to change. We share our own experiences with caregiving, leaving careers, returning to work, raising children, redefining success and learning to create space for ourselves again. If you're navigating midlife, motherhood, a career transition or simply wondering who you are outside of everything you do for everyone else, this episode is about giving yourself permission to evolve and having the courage to discover what comes next. _____________________________________________________________ Chapters in this episode: 00:00 Turning 40: The Midlife Check-In03:11 What Does Purpose Actually Mean?04:43 Your Purpose Changes as You Change05:53 Letting Go of the Life You Thought You’d Have07:14 The Whispers: When Something Inside You Wants to Change10:31 Your Purpose Doesn’t Have to Be Your Career11:37 You Are Allowed to Reinvent Yourself13:50 What We Want Our Children to Learn About Identity17:15 How to Find Your Purpose in Your 40s

    When Self-Care Changes: Motherhood, Midlife & Finding Yourself Again

    What does wellness after 40 actually look like? We’re talking self-care, motherhood, healthy habits, exercise, routines, nutrition, mom guilt, overstimulation, and learning how to feel like yourself again in midlife. We share the small wellness habits that work in our real lives: Pilates, walking, trail running, stretching, meditation, and protein to quiet mornings, coffee, reading, and simply taking 30 minutes for yourself. Self-care doesn’t have to mean a spa day. It can mean learning what your body and mind need in this season of life. _____________________________________________________________ Chapters in this episode: 00:00 What Wellness Means to Us 03:17 Making Wellness Work in Real Life 04:44 The Self-Care Rituals That Make Us Feel Good 11:19 How Motherhood Changes Self-Care 16:35 Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone 18:36 Self-Care Isn’t a Quick Fix 20:20 Building Habits, Giving Yourself Grace & Finding Support

    Why You Feel Stuck: Limiting Beliefs, Mom Guilt & Perfectionism in Midlife

    Limiting Beliefs: The Stories Keeping You Stuck in Midlife What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of time, talent, or motivation, but a story you've been telling yourself for years? In this episode of Woman to Woman, we unpack limiting beliefs: where they come from, how they shape our identity, and why some of the beliefs we carry aren't even originally ours. We get personal about the beliefs we've had to confront in our own lives, from perfectionism and tying our worth to achievement, to mom guilt, gender roles, scarcity, and the constant feeling that the things we really want have to wait until “later.” We talk about what happens when “I'm not that kind of person,” “I can't do that,” or “not right now” quietly becomes part of your identity and how taking action can give you evidence that the story you've been telling yourself may not actually be true. We also explore the pressure many women feel in midlife to be productive, successful, present mothers, supportive partners, and everything else at once and why giving yourself permission to pursue friendship, creativity, joy, and fulfillment doesn't mean you're neglecting your responsibilities. If you've ever felt stuck, struggled with perfectionism or self-doubt, questioned your worth outside of your accomplishments, or found yourself waiting for the “right time” to do something you really want to do, this conversation is for you. In this episode, we talk about: What limiting beliefs are and how to recognize themWhere limiting beliefs come fromPerfectionism and the feeling of never being “enough”Mom guilt and putting yourself lastWhy we tell ourselves “not now” or “I'll do it later”Separating your self-worth from achievementGender roles and beliefs we inherit from childhoodScarcity mindset, comparison, and competitionGiving yourself grace when you don't meet your own expectationsChallenging limiting beliefs by actually doing the thing you thought you couldn't doRedefining success, fulfillment, and identity in midlife Sometimes changing your life starts with noticing the story running quietly in the background and asking yourself: Is this actually true? _____________________________________________________________ In this episode: 00:00 — Life Lately: Holding the Flashlight for Each Other 01:36 — What Are Limiting Beliefs? 05:23 — Where Do Limiting Beliefs Come From? 09:02 — Perfectionism, Achievement & Never Feeling “Enough” 11:21 — Giving Yourself Grace When You Fall Short 13:03 — “I’m a Girl.
