Stories of women letting go to get ahead
Why, when, and how to reinvent your career.
Lizzie Jones — From recruiter to viral career coach
Lizzie Jones pivoted from a traditional recruiting career to launch Hey Lizzie Ann, a career coaching company helping BIPOC women land and thrive in tech companies. Along the way she grew a loyal LinkedIn audience with more than 8M annual views of her practical career advice. Lizzie and I talk about how being a first-generation college student impacted her career journey and how, within minutes, she can tell who will succeed at their career pivot.
Leslie Forde — From burning out, to building up moms
Leslie Forde left a corporate marketing career to start her own company, Mom’s Hierarchy of Needs. We talk about Leslie’s life as a full time entrepreneur, the pressure of being the primary family salary, and why having it all is a false narrative.
Emily Golden — The NYE resolution that launched a company
Emily built a successful career in HR, pivoting between industries and remote and in-person work. But her biggest pivot came when she left the corporate world to start her own executive coaching company and author her first book. I talk with Emily about her small and big pivots, how a New Year’s resolution launched her company, and why she encourages women to trust that they are not alone on their journey.
