What happens when the woman you thought you'd become by 40 isn't exactly the woman you are, and you realize that might actually be a good thing?
Welcome to Season 2 of Woman in Progress, the podcast for ambitious, mid-career women who want successful careers AND full lives.
Five years after launching this podcast at 35, I'm returning at 40 with a very different understanding of what progress actually means.
Since Season 1, I've experienced burnout, stepped back from leadership, rebuilt my confidence, returned to management, left a successful 15-year corporate career, and moved across the world to Dubai.
And through all of it, I've learned that progress doesn't always mean moving forward, achieving more, or becoming the person you once thought you were supposed to be.
Sometimes progress means changing your mind, choosing a different direction, or learning to have your own back when life doesn't go according to plan.
In this episode, you'll hear:
Why I stopped recording Woman in Progress during one of the most difficult periods of my life, and what brought me back.
How burnout changed my understanding of success, capability, and what it actually means to take care of yourself.
Why taking a demotion, leaving a successful career, or starting over can sometimes represent progress rather than failure.
What I've learned about making decisions without knowing whether everything will work out.
How my definition of being a Woman in Progress has changed between 35 and 40.
Because progress isn't always about becoming better, achieving more, or finally arriving somewhere.
Sometimes it's about being willing to become different.
And you don't have to wait until everything falls into place to start enjoying the life you're building.
The goal isn't just to make a living. It's to make a life.
Follow Woman in Progress so you don't miss what's coming next.
