49: Reinvent Your Career While on Maternity Leave with Natalia Harhaj

Listen Later

If you are considering a career change, and especially if you're on maternity leave, you'll appreciate this interview. My client Natalia went from feeling floundering and anxious with no career path and a unfulfilling job. She created major momentum in her professional life once she understood her transferrable skills and how they fit with her passions. 

Despite a number of job search setbacks, Natalia persevered by staying positive. 

  • She was the second place candidate more than once during the selection process.
  • She encountered discrimination because she was a mother.
  • She was laid off due to company restructuring after working in her new career for only 5 months.


    • Her career pivot resulted in: 

    • A professional path she loves in Learning and Development.
    • A higher salary than she was making pre-baby.
    • A shorter commute and fewer draining hours.
    • A manager/mentor she is aligned with and a position in an organization that's fits with her values.
