83: Building a Business That Gives You Your Life Back | Women and Work
About this podcast
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. If you are an ambitious working mom who wants to share your story of success on a future episode of Women and Work, you can book your interview here: https://giospr8qzxuj.trickle.host/publicity.html
