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!

"Mommy is the boss!": Jenny's Story
Marie and Becca often discuss how becoming moms has influenced their careers, yet there's another side to this story. Our careers also influence our children in beautiful ways!
This week we're joined by Jenny Young, Founder and CEO of Brooklyn Robot Foundry. Jenny's career journey in engineering started at a young age and blossomed over the years into building her own business focused on STEAM Education. Along the way, Jenny also becomes a mom, and her work has empowered and inspired her children to grow, learn, and succeed on their own terms.
Join us to learn more about Brooklyn Robot Foundry, Jenny's experience as the boss, and how we can teach our kids about the power of failure as a tool for growth.
