If you’re successful on paper but secretly feel overlooked, drained, or stuck in the wrong role, you might not be in your wheelhouse.

That’s what happened to Kim Costa, Author of Live In Your Wheelhouse and Realtor with Sotheby’s International Realty. After decades running a multi-million-dollar construction business behind the scenes, Kim realized she was “fine” at what she did — but she wasn’t lit up by it.

Even though she helped grow the company from $1.5M to nearly $10M, she wasn’t aligned with her true strengths. It wasn’t until she reinvented herself in her 50s — becoming a top-producing real estate agent, podcast host, and author — that she felt the spark return.

Now, Kim teaches women how to stop living by default and start living in their zone of genius.

Have you found your spark — or are you still playing it safe?

When you’re told that choosing marriage, motherhood, or flexibility means giving up your potential, it can quietly shape the way you show up for years.

That’s exactly what happened to Wendy Guth and Krystal Eicher, co-founders of Serendipitous Rebel. As military spouses, mothers, and ambitious women, they were pushed to shrink themselves, delay dreams, and carry expectations no one places on men.

Instead of accepting that narrative, they rebuilt their careers on their own terms — creating a coaching practice that helps female entrepreneurs put themselves first without guilt or burnout.

Have you ever been told — directly or indirectly — that your choices were costing you your potential?

When you’ve done everything “right” — the education, the pedigree, the experience — yet women still raise a fraction of the capital, it forces a hard question: why?

That happened to Jarah Euston, but she didn’t accept the numbers at face value. Even at Wharton — now majority female — women founders raise just a small share of venture funding.

So Jarah took action. She helped build a powerful network connecting female founders and funders, while also building WorkWhile — a labor marketplace giving frontline workers control over their schedules and livelihoods.

This conversation dives into venture capital inequity, sponsorship vs. mentorship, motherhood, and what it really takes to change systems from the inside.

Have you seen these barriers show up in your career or business?

When you’re juggling a demanding career, leadership responsibilities, and motherhood, you expect the job to be the hardest part. For Laura Benarosch, it wasn’t.

After years of building high-level careers and leading teams, Laura realized the greatest stress in her life as a working mom wasn’t her workload—it was finding consistent, reliable childcare. From waitlists and caregiver turnover to returning to work just weeks after giving birth, childcare became the invisible challenge shaping every career decision she made.

In this episode of Women & Work, Laura shares why she believes childcare planning should start before pregnancy, how inconsistent care impacts working moms, and what she wishes she had done differently.

Have you felt the weight of childcare shape your career choices more than the job itself?

When you love your work and keep taking on more responsibility, it’s easy to believe burnout is just the price of success.

That’s exactly what happened to Nandhini Sundaram, after nearly 20 years rising through the ranks of advertising agencies to senior leadership roles. The more capable she proved herself to be, the more work landed on her plate — until exhaustion, physical symptoms, and a loss of joy made it impossible to ignore.

Today, Nandhini is the Founder and Coach at YNW Coaching & Consulting, helping women in leadership quiet their inner critic, redefine ambition, and take back control of their energy without walking away from their careers.

Have you ever wondered if working harder is actually costing you more than it’s giving you?

When life feels overwhelming, it’s often because the loudest things are stealing our attention — not the most important ones.

For Joe Dillon, clarity comes from calm. After watching countless women navigate divorce, career disruption, and the mental load of parenting, Joe has seen how easily people lose focus on what truly matters — especially during major life transitions.

As the founder of Equitable Mediation Services, Joe helps women move through divorce with dignity, forward-thinking financial planning, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In this episode, he explains why outsourcing non–value-add tasks isn’t selfish — it’s essential — and why your greatest value as a parent is presence, not perfection.

What would change in your life if you stopped reacting to the noise and started prioritizing what truly matters?

When you're doing everything right to get promoted, yet you keep getting passed over, you start to wonder if you will ever reach your career goals.

When that happened to Falguni Shah, she questioned herself and her career -- until she started asking around and realizing other women were experiencing the same thing, but her male colleagues weren't.

That's when she decided to devote her life to studying why women are still blaming themselves when they hit the glass ceiling, and she crafted the book Gaslighting to Truthlighting and a coaching program to help women overcome this phenomenon.

Do you think the forces holding back women have impacted your life?

Martha Razo, CEO of Guero Pallets and President of the Xcelerator Business Summit, leadership didn’t come from following expectations — it came from challenging them.

By 18, Martha had left home, choosing education over traditional roles that never fit her vision. What began as a push against limitation became the foundation for a future built on independence, problem-solving, and grit.

From learning business fundamentals the hard way to stepping into leadership in a male-dominated industry, Martha didn’t wait for permission — she figured it out. And that decision changed everything.

Her story is a reminder that success doesn’t come from staying comfortable — it comes from betting on yourself.

What moment pushed you to choose your own path?
