Listen in this week to hear me interview Sarah W., the VP of Supply Chain and Project Management at biotech company Immunomedics. Sarah tells us how she left her “perfect on paper” lifestyle job to essentially restart her career in an industry she had always wanted to be in, but also one in which she had no prior experience.

Join me this week as I interview Erin Peterpaul, a mom of two and professional lifestyle and wedding photographer. She started her photography business while still employed as a graphic designer, and tells us the story of how she transitioned from full-time corporate employee to full-time creative entrepreneur in the midst of having her two children. 

Erin describes the biggest lessons she's learned while building her business, including how learning to say "no" has helped her scale faster with less hustle and grind. If you're someone with a creative side-passion who wants to take it full-time, you'll benefit a lot from hearing Erin's story.

Welcome to the One Badass (Working) Mother podcast! This podcast is designed to change the narrative around motherhood and work. To help you reframe what work means to you and consider how it can be a source of fulfillment, creativity, inspiration and motivation EVEN as a mom. 

I'm Catherine Ferguson and I'm a life and career coach for moms. I help women rediscover their passions, redefine what's important to them and reinvent their careers and themselves. Work does NOT have to be a four letter word. In fact, every woman deserves the right to pursue work that she wants to do so she can make the connection, contribution and impact that she wants to make. 

So in this podcast, we'll be exploring what it actually looks like to be a working mother. We'll talk to REAL moms who have changed everything about their work lives, even in the midst of having babies and raising children. 

The point is that working motherhood is not one-size-fits-all. It looks different for everybody. So it's time that we as women step away from what we think we "should" be doing, and start asking ourselves what we WANT to be doing. Because the best way to care for our children is to care for ourselves, first. And that includes the work we do. 

Thanks for being here!
