Can we have it all? Can we balance a meaningful career, live our purpose, have a family, maintain quality relationships, live in good health and really thrive while doing so in an ever-changing world?  That’s a tall order and the 3 authors of the new book “Rebalance: How women lead, parent, partner ... and thrive” explore how they really are thriving while enjoying this cocktail of demands and accomplishments. I challenged authors Monica Brand, Lisa Neuberger, and Wendy Teleki with my own perspective that something’s gotta give or you always feel like you’re failing, and they explain how to rebalance to banish that feeling so many ambitious women carry around. This trio is definitely on the same mission as Monumental Me and I get to sit down with them today and hear how together, they have uncovered and leveraged tools that work to help them and can also help you to really thrive.

Rebalance: How women lead, parent, partner...and thrive is now available on Amazon and you can visit their website: https://rebalancetothrive.com

Monica Brand Engel - co-founding Managing Partner of Quona Capital - is a wife and mother of twins, as well as an investor and entrepreneur, who has launched funds and products aimed at broadening financial inclusion globally.

This episode is so important for a number of reasons. Discovering a new career and purpose in one's 30s and continued evolution to ensure it works all along one's life trajectory. We celebrate discovery, movement, and flexibility in work. Jen Buice has a rare story of discovering her purpose & professional calling in the world of childbirth. A career rebirth. We also talk about continued career evolution and self-advocacy and empowerment in building one's own business. This conversation is key for people in various stages of life and work, no matter what profession because uncovering your career passion and purpose can happen anywhere, you just have to notice it. 

Jen Buice has been supporting families as a childbirth educator, lactation counselor, and birth doula for 14 years in and around New York City. She came to this work after the births of her two children, which brought her to an understanding of the essential role of caring support and empowering education before, during, and after childbirth. Jen is a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator (LCCE) and Evidence Based Birth® Instructor, committed to helping people gain the skills and knowledge they need to feel prepared, confident, and respectfully supported as they bring their babies into the world. She teaches childbirth classes through Birth Day Presence,  boober, and Evidence Based Birth®, both virtually and in person. Jen holds degrees from Bowdoin College and the University of Chicago, where she studied anthropology and education and would have explored the anthropology of childbirth had she known how fascinated by birth she would later become!

The Joy of Small Things by Hannah Jane Parkinson

Finding Futures, [email protected]

How Emily became a Talent Discovery Specialist and Coach:  "After I received my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy, I began working in adult day habilitation programs. These programs provide therapy and activities for adults diagnosed with intellectual and physical disabilities. I fell in love with the clients I worked with. There was something special and unique about each person I met. The people I worked with helped me realize that what I really wanted to be doing was shining the light on the talents and gifts within every human being. I wanted ALL people to be truly valued for their contributions and to find their place in society. This clarity led me to apply for the LEND fellowship program in which I was accepted in 2016. I spent my fellowship developing my vision and simple philosophy that when we look for and focus on who a person naturally is from the time they are a child and encourage them to be that, then pathways for the person to express this and contribute this to their communities will open up. From this vision, I created my life’s work and founded Finding Futures."

I am thrilled to share this podcast conversation with Stacy Mayer as one (Swiss Army knife) tool that I want to bring to ALL women who feel like they are doing everything they can to advance and thrive in their careers but it just isn’t working. I have known so many businesswomen all along the levels of the corporate ladder who are excellent at what they do, they get sh*t done, work hard, and are insanely intelligent, but they hit a wall when it comes to getting that promotion and too often from nabbing a seat in the C-Suite.

Listen, share and review THIS episode where we discuss how to REALLY get that promotion, and her book “Promotions Made Easy.”

Stacey Mayer is the bestselling author of Promotions Made Easy, Founder, Executive Ahead of Time, and certified Executive Coach who is dedicated to "Bringing More Diversity to the Leadership Table by Doubling the Number of Women Promoted into the Executive Suite Each Year Worldwide."
