Ep 31: Should you take a career break?

According to the recent Women in the Workplace 2020 report by McKinsey and LeanIn, 1 out of 4 women are considering a leave of absence or stepping out of the workforce at this time. COVID has placed working women under a greater burden of workload, stress, and risk. While there has been a lot of talk in the news about the impact of COVID on working mothers, little has been said to help women actually make the decision to stay or leave the workforce. In today’s episode, I’m providing mothers with a framework to help them decide if a career break is right for them. The challenge is there is no right answer that applies to all mothers! If after this episode you’re a mom still trying to figure things out, book a FREE 30-minute career break strategy session today.   About the Host: Janice Scholl has spent her entire career talking about money and business. Through her time as a commercial banker, consultant and mentor to budding entrepreneurs, she helped clients create solid business and financial strategies to help propel their business to success. While working with aspiring female entrepreneurs, Janice noticed that the same four themes kept repeating: Many women are uncomfortable with finance, both in their business and in their personal life. Women want access to more women mentors and advisors. Women often start businesses because they feel the corporate world doesn’t fit their lifestyle. Few are motivated by purely financial reasons. Mothers didn’t want money to drive their family decisions. From these themes The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast was born. Now Janice spends her time helping mothers gain confidence and understanding about money, career, and business topics as they relate to motherhood and family – the way many women actually think about money. Janice loves helping mothers implement business and financial strategies within their families to help each family member thrive.   Sign up here for a FREE 30-minute strategy session with Janice here.
