[Episode 5] I am (not) an Ironman: My framework for dealing with failure (and success!) Artwork

Career Interrupted

Redundancy, maternity leave, perimenopause, menopause, illness, caregiving for elderly parents.

Sound familiar? If you're a women in midlife, chances are you've experienced one or more of these transitions and challenges.

And chances are you've had to hit the pause button on your career.

But does an interrupted career automatically mean your earning potential, career progression and skill set are negatively impacted?

Each weekly episode features candid conversations with resilient women who have navigated life's unexpected challenges and rebuilt their professional lives.

Through these honest and engaging interviews, you'll gain valuable insights into the strategies, mindsets, and resources that have helped these women reclaim their careers and redefine success on their own terms.
