Podcast Episode 134: How Your “Mom” Qualities Will Help You Thrive at Work
Thinking about getting a job after being a stay-at-home mom? Or do you desperately want to find a new career path that actually suits you as a mom?
Being a mom has many demands when it comes to our families, but there are also many demands when it comes to moms and working. As women, we often have to go above and beyond to show that we are worthy and qualified for our work, but are often held up to different standards because we are moms.
In this episode, we welcome Christine Michel Carter on the show. Christine is the author of MOM AF and a Senior Contributor @ForbesWomen. She helps working moms transition to new flexible opportunities they love without sacrificing their income. Christine has 2 kids, 10 and 7, and lives in Baltimore.
We have a very lively conversation about how our skills as moms translate into amazing strengths in the work field, how donuts don’t get us any respect, and how to find a new journey or career path when the old one just isn’t doing it for you anymore.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- How our need to feel needed and in control at work can hinder women (no more bringing in the donuts).
- What mom-like qualities will help you thrive in a work environment
- How letting go of being “perfect” or perfectionism helps your career
- How you can leverage your skills as a mom into skills in a work environment
