When my husband broke his hip on a ski trip, I couldn't get to the hospital. I had four young children at home and had to wait for the babysitter. When I finally arrived, a day later, the nurse looked at me with judgment. And I thought: no matter what I do, someone is judging me for what I didn't do.
That's what it feels like to be a woman trying to hold everything together. And that's what this episode is about.
I'm sharing the real, unpolished version of how I navigated the seasons of my career, from mimicking my male colleagues in Israel, to moving to the US with four kids and zero support system, to finally building a business on my own terms.
In this episode, you'll hear:
- Why I carried guilt for years and what I'd tell my younger self now
- The support system that made it all possible, and why asking for help is a strategy, not a weakness
- Three questions to figure out what season you're actually in and what success looks like in it
- What I see in the women I coach who are stuck between seasons
This is personal. And it might feel uncomfortably familiar.
This episode is a companion to Wednesday's conversation with Dipti Srivastava: ”How to Lead at Scale Without Losing Yourself.” Listen to both.
