95. Back-to-School Season: Time for a Career Reset for Moms
Your next chapter starts now.
Back-to-school isn’t just for kids. I share what this season looks like in my home right now: a son starting his final semester of college, another settling into his first rental for sophomore year, and a daughter thriving in her first job as an Interior Designer. With the house, calendar, and routines shifting, I name the mixed emotions of this stage and offer a gentle, practical way to step into your own next chapter.
You’ll hear:
- Real-life moments from this week that mark transition at home
- The identity shift of motherhood across seasons: hands on, hands nearby, hands off
- Why “empty nest” is a misnomer and how to see new space as capacity and choice
- A permission slip to equip yourself too: maybe a fresh resume format, updated headshot, or a simple morning routine
- 3 reflection questions to clarify what you want next
- A 45-minute reset you can do tonight: clarity sprint with a job posting, quick resume top-third audit, and a low-pressure network nudge
- An invitation to journal your answers and not white-knuckle these shifts alone
Resources mentioned:
- Limited free resume reviews for podcast listeners this month
- 1:1 coaching spots opening for fall.
Next week:
Labor Day, why it matters, and how to turn caregiving and volunteering into resume gold.
Keywords: back to school, empty nest, motherhood identity, career clarity, resume refresh, return to work, midlife career change, women’s career coaching
