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 mom) Becca Carnahan of Next Chapter Careers takes your questions and provides practical step-by-step advice to help you move forward. All served up with a virtual mom hug and lots of laughs!

In this episode of When Mommy Grows Up, I’m giving you another sneak peek inside the newly updated Career Clarity Program.

Today’s preview comes from the Unpack module, which focuses on guided career reflection to help you identify your unique career sweet spot. You’ll hear two coaching exercises straight from the program and get a real feel for how we approach career clarity: simple, practical, and highly effective. There’s no one “right” career path, so before making your next move, we start by deeply understanding you.

If you’re curious about the Career Clarity Program or want to experience what a coaching exercise is really like, this episode is for you. Grab a pen and paper and listen along. You’ll walk away with valuable insights you can use right away, all in just 15 minutes.

And if you’re ready to go deeper with visuals, resources, coaching calls, and a full framework for getting clear on your goals and building a career strategy that actually works, we’d love to welcome you inside CCP. Learn more at careerclarity.beccacarnahan.com.
