About Fork in the Road Podcast:

Fork in the Road Podcast shares the stories of women who have faced the choice between leaning into an invested career in Corporate America or daring to venture onto an unknown path. So many women in Corporate America today are facing a Fork in the Road: the choice between staying with what you know and working to transform it into what they want - or risking it all for the unknown and manifesting something better. Because not every road is right for everyone, listen to these stories to inspire you to choose yours. 

In this episode, Kathy interviews Emily Kapit, a career strategist, resume writer, and mom who discusses how she became the solution rather than the problem of her toxic workplace. Essentially making decisions that lead her towards a clear pattern of personal excellence.

Emily’s fork in the road moment came when she left her job to attend grad school and followed her gut to open her firm before she planned to. Emily also talks about being a part of the 'The No Club'. This is a positive habit of rejecting what doesn’t suit you. Where you prioritize how you want to spend your time and make room for optimized opportunities.
