Summary

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. How can motherhood influence our career trajectory? 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? 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? Jessica (Jess) Galica is an Executive Coach helping leaders to achieve more success, fulfillment, and ease at work. She is the best-selling author of "Leap: Why It's Time to Let Go to Get Ahead In Your Career", inspired by her personal pivot leaving a successful corporate career to find greater fulfillment in work and life. Jess' thought leadership has been featured in the MIT Technology Review, Forbes, Business Insider, and Fast Company and she has been recognized as one of the Top Coaches in Boston. Last but certainly not least, Jess lives with her husband in Boston, where she is a present mom to her 3.5 year old daughter and 1 year old son.
