"When Mommy Grows Up is the perfect guide for every mom working to find her way back to herself." —The Mom at Law
As moms, we are grownups, but are we all the way grown up yet?
Career coach and Millennial mom Becca Carnahan says no! We still have plenty of growing up, evolving, and changing to do throughout our lives and careers. That's why she wants to invite moms into the pages of When Mommy Grows Up: Finding Career Clarity While Covered in Kids to learn more about themselves, define their own versions of success, map out new paths forward, and find lots of humor along the way.
Tackling mid-career confusion with parenting stories, 90s pop culture nostalgia, and expert professional development tips, Carnahan reframes the lessons we teach our kids like "use your words," "you need to share," and "make new friends," as career advice. From figuring out what's next, to overcoming obstacles, to managing the logistics of a job search or entrepreneurial journey—it's all covered in a way that's accessible, relatable, and fun!
Whether we are working full-time, part-time, from home, or inside the home, mothers are all managing their careers, and families, all while managing to laugh through it all. Let's take on the adventure together!
