We’ve all made mistakes as parents, professionals, or both. But what if you could skip some of the trial-and-error and go straight to the learning part?

In this episode of When Mommy Grows Up, Becca shares the story of Claire, a 39-year-old project manager and mom of two who hit a wall in her career and decided it was time for a change. Like so many of us, she dove head-first into her job search… and made a few common mistakes along the way.

From updating her resume before defining her target, to applying for all the jobs, to avoiding networking altogether, Claire’s journey highlights the pitfalls many mid-career parents face when trying to find a job that fits their lives.

Tune in to learn how she turned things around with a clear focus, a smaller pool of well-matched opportunities, and a mindset shift about networking that made all the difference.

What if the clarity you’re craving isn’t in another job board scroll or another article, but in 15 minutes of quiet? 

In this episode, Becca shares how intentional boredom helped one mom (and herself!) move from overwhelm to career clarity.

You’ll learn why silence sparks new ideas, how the brain uses boredom to connect the dots, and simple ways to build “boredom windows” into real mom-life.

Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what moves you forward.
