Today, I'm tackling a question so many of us have asked: Should I pull back in my career? I dive into the systemic pressures that make moms feel like they should step back, the internal conflicts that come with it, and why simply cutting hours or quitting doesn’t always lead to balance and happiness. Plus, I’ll share key insights to help you answer this question for yourself and practical steps to create a life where you don’t have to choose between ambition and family. 

Topics in this episode:

• Why moms struggle with the pull-back question 
• The hidden risks of stepping back in your career (and why it doesn’t always bring balance) 
• How your ambition can actually work for you, not against you 
• The real solution to feeling balanced and in control of your time 
• The fastest way to create sustainable work-life balance, without sacrificing success
