About this episode

What if our identities in motherhood and the workforce didn’t have to be at odds? Certified Professional Career Coach and founder of Your Career Partner, Jessica Visek, knows that working moms can continue to achieve professionally or pivot into a career change while remaining present in parenthood, with the right partnership. In today’s episode of the Mama Mode podcast, Jessica encourages listeners to see the benefits that motherhood can bring to a job, discusses why her clients with children often reevaluate their careers, and how she helps them communicate and position their skills and experience to prospective employers. She shares more about her own career path, from the corporate world to entrepreneurship, and breaks down the major considerations working moms face when returning to work after maternity leave or a longer break. If you’re a new mom nearing the end of your leave, or reexamining your career in any season of motherhood, join us for a conversation about finding clarity and confidence as you take your next steps.
