I saw an old friend recently. We talked about life, work, and parenting during our brief encounter, and I realized something… I don’t like her as much as I used to. Over the past few years, we have both become mothers. And I find that, the more times I see her, the less I like […]
Is Your Education Boxing You In to a Career You Don’t Love?
When we head off to school, we all hope to do something fulfilling while also being able to make a decent living. Some of us had a true calling to particular area and many more of us simply listened to the advice of those around us. For some, this meant making a decision on what […]
An Open Letter to All the Working Moms Who Want to Quit
I’d like to welcome Megan Senese, our guest poster this week, who is going to give a bit of advice for those moms looking to make a career change or re-enter the workforce after a break (and for those who want to quit and may need to be talked off the ledge). She offers up […]
How to Leverage Your Current Job (While You Hunt for a New One)
Let’s face it – when we are on the hunt for a new opportunity, whether that is through a different job or by going out on our own to start a new business, the transition is not as clean as it may appear. The majority of people do not say sayonara to their old job […]
Why It’s So Hard to Say We’re Struggling
I had a conversation with a coworker today about my struggles as a working mom. Full disclosure – I opened the door to this topic, so I don’t feel he was prying. But even as he brainstormed with me ways to alleviate some of the stress I feel, I could sense the conversation turning toward […]
The Promotion I Didn’t Take
I saw a coworker today – the one who took the job that I did not. Yes, she is sitting in the nice office, doing important things. I see her as an authority now, because she is privy to the information I am not. I am just one of the worker bees. You see, we […]
Sometimes It’s Just Tough
Most of the time, through this blog, I try to offer advice or inspiration based on my own experiences as a working mom. You won’t find that in this post. Today I am writing to say sometimes, it just sucks being a working mom. On the days I work in the city, I leave before […]
You Can Be Anything… But Do You Want To Be Everything?
We as women are lucky enough to live in a time where we can ‘be anything.’ We can have whatever we want, as long as we work hard for it, or so we are told. But sometimes I wonder if women stop to think about whether they WANT all that ‘being anything’ entails. As a […]
Is Having Passion in Your Career Necessary?
If you are into personal or career development, it’s practically impossible to miss all the articles, books and lectures focused on ‘finding your passion.’ If you just find your passion and follow it to the ends of the earth, happiness and/or success will follow. But maybe that isn’t always the case… It has been quite […]
How to Gain Greater Self-Awareness in Your Career Search
I recently did some career coaching and it was definitely a learning experience. I feel like a lot of coaching is about helping you ‘learn’ things about yourself that you may have always known – somewhere deep inside of you. One thing I found interesting that my coach told me was I am already a […]
