Do you need to quit your job to start your second act? Not necessarily.

In this episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, business coach for women Shannon Russell sits down with Jesikah Wells, host of the Broken to Beautiful podcast, to talk about career transition, working motherhood, finding personal fulfillment, and building something of your own while still working full-time.

Jesikah shares how her career evolved from the legal department at Wells Fargo into wealth investment management and eventually project management for nonprofit organizations. At the same time, she began building her own creative second act through podcasting, blogging, and her Broken to Beautiful brand.

Jesikah proves that a second act career doesn't always require making one giant leap. Sometimes career reinvention begins by creating space for the ideas that excite you, exploring new opportunities, and slowly building something alongside your 9-5.

Shannon and Jesikah also discuss mom guilt, finding time for yourself as a working mother, overcoming fear and imposter syndrome, and why pursuing something that fulfills you isn't selfish.

If you're considering a career change, midlife career transition, starting a business, or simply wondering what else might be possible for you, this conversation is a reminder that your second act can begin before you're ready to leave your current career.
