Empowering Career Changers and Moms returning to the workforce to land amazing jobs that match their current "why"
All in ageism

It’s so easy as a stay at home mom to get swept up in the roles of mom and wife, that you almost forget who YOU are. Join me as I chat with Carrie, a mom of two sets of twins, about her powerful journey to finding herself again.
Like many moms, Carrie felt that she knew Carrie the mom and Carrie the wife, but didn’t know who Carrie the person was anymore.
Always an active volunteer, (and I must say, an INCREDIBLE volunteer. She didn’t just stand behind the table at the school bake sale.) Carrie did not give herself enough credit for the work that she was doing. She figured that as an unpaid worker, organizations were happy to take what they could get, and failed to realize how incredibly talented she actually is. How she dramatically she improved every project she worked on.
Please stop saying "take a chance on me"
Career changers and #transitioningteachers, here's a little secret. EVERY time someone hires ANYBODY, even an applicant with significant experience in that field, they are taking a chance. Because you never know.
They could be too aggressive. Not get along with the team. Have a bad attitude. (You know those people. Great work, but soooo hard to be around.)
Leave for a better opportunity. There are plenty of reasons why a highly recognized candidate may not always be a perfect match, even if they appear to be on paper.
