  I Used to Be Scared of You: Candice Seenyen on the Sentence That Changed Her Whole Life

  Sep 29, 202646 minS1

  Candice Seenyen had it all on paper. Product manager at Meta. Twin boys. A career she'd worked 10 years to build. And by the end, she wasn't crushing it professionally while bravely choosing motherhood. She was getting worse at both. The moment that changed everything? A Friday night — a public holiday she'd planned to spend with her kids — spent on her laptop, anxious about a forgotten slide. She closed her laptop at 10pm, her boys already asleep, turned to her partner, and said: it's now or never. Then she opened the laptop again and signed up for a $10,000 conscious parenting certification with Dr. Shefali. In this episode, Candice — now a conscious parenting coach and mom of twin boys — shares the full arc: the impossible standards she held herself to at work and at home, the son who didn't want to come to her when he was scared, and the day — two years later — when that same boy casually said, "I used to be scared of you. But I'm not anymore. Because I know you now."

  Do You Love Me More Than Coffee? Melissa Face on Teaching, Layoffs & Writing Through It All

  Sep 22, 202641 minS1

  Melissa Face came back from maternity leave to find her principal had docked her end-of-year evaluation points for absences. The absences that were her maternity leave. That was the moment something shifted. Not loudly — she didn't quit, she didn't complain. She just quietly stopped caring about being a good employee on paper in a system that clearly wasn't designed with her in mind. Melissa is an award-winning author, English teacher, and mom of two who has been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul across 25 volumes — and whose book I Love You More Than Coffee: Essays on Parenthood was born from a question her 3-year-old asked on a sticky, chaotic, perfectly ordinary terrible day. In this episode, she talks about teaching through early motherhood, being blindsided by a corporate layoff she never saw coming, hiding on her couch in the same leggings for two days, and eventually landing the job she'd always been looking for — one that finally doesn't ask her to choose.

  Left 8 Weeks of Maternity Leave on the Table: Rose Ann Mullet on the Moment She Decided to Go

  Sep 15, 202643 minS1

  Rose Ann Mullet sat across from her boss — pregnant, asking for one day a week from home — and he told her that when his kids were young, he and his wife just figured it out. She wanted to ask: was it we, or was it she? She didn't. She did the math, and gave notice the week the return-to-office went into effect — leaving eight weeks of paid maternity leave on the table. Rose Ann is a content strategist and ghostwriter for lawyers, a self-described queen of pivots, and a mom of two who has reinvented her career more than once — always for a reason, and always around her family. In this episode, she talks about what it actually feels like to pivot repeatedly, why she's not ashamed of her non-linear path, and how the four unpublished novels sitting in a drawer quietly made her better at everything she does today.

  Both Are Scary: Kertu Sepp on the Career Pivots You Choose and the Ones That Choose You

  Sep 8, 202639 minS1

  Kertu Sepp had two career pivots. Neither happened the way she planned. The first was a deliberate leap — from teacher to the booming Estonian tech sector — built through networking, self-study, software engineering courses, and sheer persistence. The second wasn't a choice at all: a mass layoff, a husband starting a new job, two daughters, and her mother's final months of life landing all at once in November. She sat in the middle of all of it, and instead of rushing back to corporate, she waited. She dealt with her mother first. Then she asked herself what she actually wanted. In this episode, Kertu — career and leadership coach based in Tallinn, Estonia — talks about why women in their 30s and 40s hit a wall even when they have everything they worked for, why staying in indecision is itself a decision, and what it feels like to finally stop putting yourself in a box. A genuinely thoughtful conversation between two career coaches who happen to both be moms.

  Boudoir, Branding & Boundaries: Amber Frye on Worthiness, Photography & Leaving the Job That Was Consuming Her

  Sep 1, 202638 minS1

  Amber Frye was working 60-hour weeks in corporate, raising three kids, building a photography side business at 11pm, and navigating a toxic marriage — all at the same time. She was on autopilot. She knew it. And she couldn't change any of it overnight. So she started meditating. Not because she believed in it — she thought it was fluff — but because she had nothing to lose. Thirty days later, something shifted. In this episode, Amber — business and growth strategist, boudoir photographer, and mom of three — talks about how she found her way out of survival mode, what it took to finally leave both the marriage and corporate, and how she now combines branding photography with coaching to help women see themselves the way she sees them through her lens. She also shares the marketing skill from her corporate days that she swears by — and that nobody else wants to talk about.
