Feeling lost in your career after becoming a mother? Or feeling torn between the career you love and the love you have for being a mom? The balance is so hard and figuring out how to navigate and balance it all is exhausting. But you aren't alone and this week we dive into feeling lost in our careers after motherhood.

  1. How can motherhood influence our career trajectory?
  2. How can we overcome our fear of taking a risk especially when it comes to our career and livelihood and how can we overcome the feeling of guilt when it comes to wanting a career outside of and in addition to motherhood?
  3.  What advice do you have for someone who wants to do something different but doesn't know how or doesn't know what they want to do?
