Episode 138

What happens when the job you built your whole identity around suddenly feels impossible to reconcile with the life you want as a mother?

In this new series, I share the story I’ve never told in full before: the breaking point that led me to walk away from a stable, prestigious job after maternity leave — with no Plan B.

You’ll hear:

• The exact moment I knew I couldn’t stay

• The financial fears that almost kept me stuck

• And why leaving what looked “safe” was actually the riskiest, bravest money move I’ve ever made

If you’ve ever wondered how motherhood reshapes your career, your finances, and your definition of success — this episode will stay with you.
