On today’s episode I am answering 3 listener questions: How do you and your ambitious spouse BOTH make strides in your careers at the same time without neglecting the family? How do you stay confident even when there is a gap in your resume? How do I get my friends and coworkers to focus on the mindset of balance?

Topics in this episode:

• Is it possible for both you and your spouse to rise up in your career at the same time or is it always one then the other?
• Redefining success so that you stop thinking you need to work more hours to be more successful
• Clearly understanding your tradeoffs will help you make more confident decisions
• The transition from being a stay-at-home mom to a working mom and vice versa
• How to navigate the “gap” on your resume
• Dealing with other’s emotions when you make large career pivots
• Learning to be ok with other people’s stress and overworking behavior
