When Mommy Grows Up
As moms, we love to inspire our kids to dream big dreams about who they’ll be as they grow up. But when is the last time you stopped to ask yourself, "Who am I going to be (next) as I grow up?"
The When Mommy Grows Up Podcast is the motherhood and career podcast for moms who need help defining what success looks like to them as mid-career professionals and parents, along with the support they need to go after it.
Hear real stories from real moms facing the same challenges you are. Finding flexible jobs, crafting a job you love, discovering your passions, crushing it at work and getting kids off the bus! We’ll talk through it all.
Hosts (and fellow moms) Becca Carnahan and Marie Tremblay of Next Chapter Careers, take your questions and provide practical step-by-step advice to help you move forward. All served up with a virtual mom hug and lots of laughs!

Why "I Can Do Anything" Leaves You Floundering: Norah's Story
Mom of four, Norah, has worked for her family’s nonprofit her entire career. It’s a small mission-driven nonprofit and since Norah grew up with the organization she has wore a lot of different hats. She’s worked across different functions, is constantly putting out fires, and in her words “as done it all!”
As you can imagine, the grocery bill for a family of 6 is pretty high though, and as her kids get older and Norah and her husband are mapping out college savings, Norah has found that it’s time to step away from her family business into an industry with more earning potential. But what does that look like?
Join Becca and Marie to talk about Norah’s career criteria and how those criteria helped her to identify an industry, company, and role that was perfect for her.
