My Book Turns One! (+ A Special Audiobook Sneak Peek) Artwork

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!

This week on When Mommy Grows Up, we’re celebrating a very special milestone—my book When Mommy Grows Up: Finding Career Clarity While Covered in Kids is officially one year old! 🎉

The refreshed 2025 edition is the book I always envisioned—filled with new insights, deeper encouragement, and even more support for moms navigating career clarity in the middle of real life.

To celebrate this “book birthday,” I’m doing something a little different on the podcast… I’m giving you a sneak peek into a possible future audiobook! In this episode, I’m sharing a narrated reading of the prologue so you can experience the heart behind the book in a whole new way.

I’d truly love your feedback—does this make you want a full audiobook version? Let me know!

And if you’re ready to dive into the book now, you can find all the details at whenmommygrowsup.com.

Grab a cup of coffee, press play, and let’s dream about what’s possible together.
