In part two of our Dilemma of a Woman in Her 30s series, we’re diving into the messy, motivating, and sometimes maddening world of careers. From chasing promotions and navigating corporate politics to battling burnout and questioning hustle culture, we unpack what it really feels like to be a Black woman at this stage of life. We share our own stories of advocating for raises, dealing with overwork, learning from strong mentors, and setting boundaries (yes, even on vacation). This episode explores the push and pull between ambition and peace and why choosing alignment over appearances might be the ultimate career move. Mantra Moment: Your career isn’t a straight line. It’s a journey you’re allowed to pivot, pause, and protect your peace.
