Work, Motherhood, and Permission to Evolve | Episode 18 | Love What You Do

Описание: What happens when your career plan gets turned upside down by motherhood, layoffs, ambition, and evolving priorities?

In this episode of Love What You Do, I’m joined by Jenna Rogers, founder of Career Civility, to talk about the real career decisions working parents are making behind the scenes and how communication can make or break your experience at work.

Jenna shares her powerful career journey, from corporate tech roles to entrepreneurship, navigating a layoff shortly after maternity leave, and ultimately redefining success as a “corporate-preneur.” We dive deep into what it actually takes to build a career that supports your life, not the other way around.

In this episode, we cover:

How motherhood reshapes career ambition and priorities
Making career decisions season-by-season (without guilt)
The hidden cost of poor communication at work
Why “executive presence” is really about clarity, boundaries, and confidence
How to advocate for yourself (even in unclear or toxic environments)
Why communication is one of the most powerful career skills you can develop

If you’re a working parent, career changer, or professional feeling stuck between “what you should do” and “what you want,” this conversation will leave you feeling seen and equipped with practical tools you can actually use.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to communicate your value, set boundaries, and build a career that truly fits your life.
