Beyond the balance- Episode 16
In This Episode We Talk About
Sue Kuraja built her career in financial services sales and distribution the hard way, from mining high-net-worth clients at a bank to going 1099 as a wholesaler for MassMutual, all while raising four kids without a village in a city she moved to on faith. In this episode, Sue gets real about the job offer she turned down because they asked her to promise she would not have kids, how her husband became a stay-at-home dad for five years, and what it actually looks like to burn the candle at both ends without burning yourself out. She also shares the leadership lessons she pulled from three years on the national executive board of WIFS and what she told herself in those rooms when the work was hard and unglamorous.
Key Takeaways
✨ Turned down a promotion because they wanted her to choose between the job and motherhood.
✨ Nobody fights harder than a working mom.
✨ Do the right thing. Not the easy one.
Who This Episode Is For
This episode is for the mom who is trying to hold her career together while nobody claps for the invisible work she does every single day. If you have ever been told what you can and cannot be, or if you are in a season where you are running on empty but you are not ready to stop, this one is going to land.
