DEEP DIVE: When It's Time To Pivot


Listen Later

Amy Wilson's book Happy to Help is out now and available wherever you buy books!

Join Amy and Margaret in Philadelphia and San Antonio in February 2025 for their latest "What Fresh Hell Live!" shows. For tickets, head to bit.ly/whatfreshhelltour.

This Deep Dive series is about reflecting on our trajectories as mothers - looking back, reflecting on where we are now, and thinking about the future. Listen to the whole playlist on Spotify.

For moms who want to make a change, whether it's returning to an old career after a break, or forging a entirely new path, Amy and Margaret are here to tell you: it's possible, and it can be a time that feels like possibility instead of a series of closed doors.

Amy and Margaret discuss:

  • Their own (multiple) experiences with pivoting
  • How the pandemic has affected working moms
  • The challenges of reentering the workforce after being a stay-at-home parent for some time

  • The first step to pivoting? Uncovering what you really want in this next stage of your professional life, which will take some time and reflection. Think big.

    Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the show:

    • Caroline Fairchild for Working Together: "Nearly half of mothers work, take a break, and work again. Why is there still such a stigma?"
    • Jamie Birt for Indeed: "9 Tips for Stay-at-Home Parents Re-Entering the Workforce"
    • Misty L. Heggeness et. al: "Tracking Job Losses for Mothers of School-Age Children During a Health Crisis"
    • Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
