I’ve had many conversations with many women over time who share that they're not in their dream job, but it’s fine “for now.” Often, these are working mothers who are figuring out how to make everything work for their careers and their families. Though I don’t think any of these women are settling per se, I can’t help but think what our world might be like if all of these women could be in roles that use their strengths and bring them joy, and don’t require them to compromise joy at home. That’s what I am working toward—a world where you can love your career and love your family and be great at both.
This episode provides tips on what you can do if you’re in this situation, and what I learned about this from my own experiences.
Your One Bold Move: Don’t let “for now” become “forever.” You have too many strengths to settle for anything less than your best self.
