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!

Building Your Network as an Introvert: Abby's Story
It's no surprise to Abby that on every personality assessment she has ever taken, she's as far to the Introvert side of the scale as she can get! Her husband is also relatively introverted and her two kids have followed suit.
As a research analyst, being introverted has always worked out well for Abby. She has a close circle of family and friends, enjoys her solo work, and has enough quiet time to recharge. The problem is that Abby’s company had to do massive layoffs which left Abby on the search for a new job. A change was not on the agenda for her and she doesn’t know where to start.
Join Becca and Marie to talk about layoffs and harnessing your power as an introvert to make networking as part of your job search work for you.
