Manage episode 437961419 series 3560372
After a summer break, we’re back with Season 3 of The Mental Offload Podcast!
Mid-career is a challenging, and pivotal, point in almost every corporate career.
It’s the point where most companies decide who has the potential to break through to the top. Some people will be tapped to ascend to the top levels of the organization, and others will stagnate…or fail completely.
For working mothers, the challenge is clear.
The demands of mid-career tend to hit at exactly the point when the demands of childrearing are at their peak.
What’s an ambitious woman to do?
Do you take your foot off the gas at work, even if it’s work you love and have trained for your whole life? Do you give less than 120% to the family you love and for whom you want the best?
It can feel like there are no good choices.
This leaves many high-achieving mothers stuck, confused, and conflicted. Perennially thinking about how to move forward, and second-guessing every step they take.
Call it Mid-Career Malaise.
It can pull you in multiple directions. It can last for years. And it can leave even the highest achievers tied in knots, if it’s left unaddressed.
In this episode, we’ll address the phenomenon of Mid-Career Malaise, and how to move through it without losing your mind…or your career momentum.
